Cool!

This is a pic of mine, they are very rare here in Aus;



There are actually a few BX's and old CX-Pallas models in my neck of the woods, definitely worth snapping-up and keeping if they're in good condition.

If I could get my hands on maybe a nice CX like the one below, I'd be a very contented chap.

I am late to this topic but...

84 Mazda 323SS (it was the hot hatch for back then) it had an untimely demise when a suspension component broke and I spun off a straight section of road and reversed at about 80 into a rather solic fence post. RIP 323.
2001 CW50 Yamaha Zuma... that scooter rocked and got thrashed.
XS250 rode it once, down a hill without the engine running. Never got the engine running. Onsold it for a small profit some one who apparently knew how to get the engine running. He never did.
84 XJ900 that went pretty hard for an old bike... massive speeding ticket and subisquent solicitors advice and bills required its sale.
01 Jeep Wrangler - stolen from parents when they stopped using it in 2003 and also in leiu of them paying me for the many hours a week I worked at their business on the weekends. Gave it back after six months when fuel bills got the better of me.
THen the 03 SXi (paid for with the savings in fuel bill).

Have had temporary posession (and associated servicing costs) of some cars which were technically not mine -- although I contributed financially to their not being reposessed:
1996 CRX Del Sol - or it may have been 1995 - done for dangerous driving at somewhere around 230km/hr in that.
'90 300ZX twin turbo... that was cool neva got a ticket in it... somehow.
Volvo 360 - its my gf's... I pay for its repairs :roll: ... she owns it.

My first car was an '88 barina that my grandma gave me when she gave up driving, which was fun around corners but not so good for anything else.
Second car was a '90 Civic GL. Lots of fun to drive, lots of things wrong with it that kept it interesting. Having driven that car, I can now handle just about anything, cos the gearbox and clutch was very temperamental.
I had a VY Commodore wagon for a few months as a company car. Glad to give that back. Too heavy for me and it was quite clear that they cut a lot of corners when they built it.
Went back to the civic for a few months after giving that back, then inherited a 1994 BMW 318is in near perfect condition. Once I'd started driving that I gave up on japanese cars. Unfortunately it was written off by an RAC patrol car that missed a stop sign 2 weeks later, so having got used to german cars, I bought the astra with the insurance money. I'd love to get another bmw, but it's too expensive to keep.
