Started to watch this series of videos today. I have just bought a 1.4 BX myself, also on my TH-cam. Great videos, and love your choice of cars! Subscribed :)
You mentioned you got around 8l/100km and said it’s not really great, considering you drove on the motorway at quite high RPM in hilly terrain trying to maintain 120, plus on smaller roads going up and down on hills and mountains, I think 8l/100km is quite decent. My Renault Megane gets around 8l/100km at 120 on flat terrain (it has the 1.4 16v petrol) so I keep it at around 100-110, which uses a lot less fuel and keeps the engine happier
You are right, 8 l/100 kms would have been decent for such hilly terrain and high rpm. I've focused on that part a lot in the video, but after the first 90 kms I've driven sensibly and basically stayed out of motorways (and city centres). I believe it averaged more than 8 in this first tank, actually, but that certainly had an impact.
Já vinham e estavam novos, não os ia trocar só porque sim. Mas não seriam a minha opção, de facto, não são grande espingarda à chuva. Atrás tive de meter uns - foram uns Uniroyal, bem jeitosos. A borracha na década da 80 não seria melhor certamente.
That dashboard and those views, wow!

As pessoas vão para fora de Portugal quando não conhecem a sua própria terra... Temos tantas coisas bonitas a se visitar...
pena a chuva... tens aí algumas estradas nacionais e IP para fugir à AE e poupar uns trocos, passando por paisagens fantásticas...

Um dia se vieres ao Porto e se quiseres apresentar a tua máquina á minha apita 👍
hummm... pneus Nankang... Prefiro dar um pouco mais andar com mais confiança nos pneus... é o principal elemento de segurança...

Glad you didn't took your fast/kind of sporty car, otherwise you'd strugle to keep at only 120km/h in the same place eheh
Yeah, that's a different beast. But the BX doesn't make my back shatter. :)
