Hello Folks, Well the 83 Camaro is gone, just had enough of it, and the fact although i wa slet doen by my e-bay buyer another buyer was found who had a big trailer and cold hard cash So I immediately arranged for this to be delivered today............. A citroen CX GTi Turbo. yes that 2.5 with garret T3 so 168bhp straight out the box and a very lovely car to boot, I've owned a couple of these, but i think this one is a keeper, I'm going to do a bit of resto and improving. More pics to follow as work progresses (as usal this will take some time)

OOOOOOOOH! Series 1 CX!!! Saw one today. They are such gorgeous machines.
And a Turbo to boot! Methinks I'll enjoy a quick spin in this matey! (I can picture myself looking terrified in the passenger seat already!)
Fancy using it on Sunday? (hmmm, is that wise if I'm paying the fuel costs...)

Plans, yes, I wanna get it roadworthy, get some 16" alfa pattern 5x98 alloys on it, try and find out how you liberate a few more horses and then MOT it. So id love to use it sunday mr dollywobbler but no test yet. Hopefully doesnt need much though.

That's a very unusual car. I've just come back from France and saw lots of other interesting French cars that I had forgotten about. There are quite a few French cars about over there for some reason!
