91 Citroen BX19TGD 222000miles non turbo diesel

I bought this to replace Steve Austin as my daily - Steve is rusty as and the floorpan split the other day going round a roundabout with gusto..

Goodbye Steve - Hello Jethro - Can't think of a better name for a french car than that..

Anyways no mods planned really - have some ideas that involve Matthew Black - Space Saver Orange and some special stickers..

Got E-Stalked today - :shock:

Then took a pic myself - looks like its had more hits than the Beatles but it was cheap

Eliot - Cos Jethro is the most unfrench name I can think of - actually I thought Cletus was more unfrench but Jethro has a good feel about it and also somewhat to do with what Hemi said.. LOL @ Wagnats in jokes..

Joe - yes we can - Just completed 400km for 18litres (and thats not even trying to be frugal)

Lee - Yeah tis a sad moment - though still considering whether to repair Steve or ditch him.. Have had several people tell me ditching Steve is a bad idea cos he's a bit too cool for that...
Partehi fo sho!! You want to come? Can meet you in Bulls and you can ride in Jethro..
