Re: Weather prospects for tomorrow afternoon...

serious here dude, a mate of my dad's got into trouble towing a van with a bx. Your van looks fairly big and the bx is light as a feather, so take it easy mate

Re: Weather prospects for tomorrow afternoon...
It`s been snöing all day here, we now have another foot of it ontop of the 3 foot already down and we have it forecast for the next 3 out of 4 days.
At least it`s come up from -25 to -5.
Sme disruption to the trains but everything else is working as normal

Re: Weather prospects for tomorrow afternoon...
Well, it's all back in one piece, and very impressed with what we got for our money!
FYI, we didn't take the BX (it failed the MOT), i borrowed a mates Nissan Cabstar but even so, i'm not worried about towing it to cornwall with the BX... It drags lurvely (for a tin shack with tyres).
I'll be back...! Aren't YOU a lucky lot...
Bah! Mintysweet!

Re: Weather prospects for tomorrow afternoon...
Well done mate, hope it opens up a great 2011 for you.
Snö still at it here and we have another 24 hrs of it yet, then sun and -17!!!
Snow plough has just cleared our track to the main road, once again.
I kid you not. There is over a meter of lying snö now and it`s six ft deep at the side of the roads where the plough has been.
Hej ho!!!Jägermeister here I come.

Ironically, after all the major components i replaced, it failed on the washer jets & number plate lamps...docchevron132 wrote:What the BX fail on Jay?
My own fault really, i told my tester i was gonna be relying on it heavily for the next 6 months so don't do me any favours (like he normally would). He gave it a proper good going over from top to bottom & found absolutely NO issues with it.
Got a good 'un there me thinks!

Didn't even know you had doubts about it .... a good 'un is worth keeping. I deeply regret getting rid of mine (though it was unavoidable as i couldn't afford to keep any car going at the time).

Re: Weather prospects for tomorrow afternoon...
Never had doubts about the car, it was just the question of whether we were going to: 1) Buy a Motorhome and get shot of the BX. 2) Tow a caravan with the BX. 3) Need something a bit meatier to tow a caravan & get rid of the BX.Fish_Botherer wrote:Didn't even know you had doubts about it .... a good 'un is worth keeping.

Fortunately, the caravan comes well within the legal limits for BX towing so it's staying (just need to weight the fucking car down a bit now)
