While I wouldn’t consider myself to be a thoroughbred petrol head, I’ve had more than a few Automotive adventures. Be it fighting off the hands of time from my Citroen BX, to tinkering with my Land Rover, there’s always something going on with cars. Here you can catch up on my latest Automotive Articles.

- BXProject@ Kelsall Steam Rally 2024A few weeks ago, I made the journey to Kelsall Steam Rally 2024. When, an electrical issue got out of control and I nearly didnt make it!
- Citroën BX – Reproduction – 16V Bumper BracketThe Citroen BX 16v Bumper Bracket is next on the list of parts to be reproduced to get XPO back on the road.Will it be bang or bust?
- BXProject@ Drive It Day 2024Despite the many I’ve joined in the past, Drive It Day 2024 was a fantastic day out with friends from 2CV GB in the Peak District.
- Citroën BX – XPO – Fuel Pipes – Eps37bBefore the engine goes back in, this seemed like the right time to replace fuel pipes and recommision the fuel system.
- Citroën BX – XPO – Engine Bay Preparation – Eps37aIt won’t be long before the engine goes back in, so engine bay preparation of areas that won’t soon be accessible seems sensible.
- Citroën BX – Scrapper CaperI’ve been stiffled on the XPO build by a lack of smaller parts. However, a ‘part worn’ BX leads to a scrapper caper and horde of parts.
- Mercedes – SLK230 Revival – Part 2SLK230 revival continues, with the engine now reassembled, will it start, and what other work will be needed to get back on the road?
- Mercedes – SLK 230 Revival – Part 1I found a nearly end-of-life SLK 230 R170, a great-shaped little car. This SLK revival could be costly. Just how much damage is there?

- Workshop – Making Roof Bar StorageAfter falling over the Freelander2 roof bars one too many times, it was time to make some roof bar storage. Fire up the welder!
