Driving this ID Buzz GTX around today. Best version of the Buzz I’ve driven but can’t help but find it a little disappointing to drive (even with 340 bhp)

Anyone recommend a good free QR code generator? Thanks

Had enough this week, so I’m having the day off away from the automotive world….so I can relax and play with my cars 🤔

Thanks to everybody who stopped by to join in the 'premiere' last night. Delighted to report that the Panda raffle has been approved and is now live! Link: raffall.com/409206/enter... Same deal as with the C4, only this time we have options in the event the first winner doesn't actually want it.

On days like today, I’m thankful I’ve got a heated windscreen…..plus heated seat & steering wheel

Seems a silly idea to rag the arse off a car you've effectively 'sold' to a raffle while strapped to a dyno, and the to benefit of mostly nobody. And yet, here's my Citroen C4 VTS 180 on the dyno, making revvy noises. youtu.be/Bz906SGpd9Q

Just watching the Ferrari Challenge, found myself watching the wiper patterns rather than the racing. Driver’s side is interesting but definitely a triangle of doom going on. @hubnut.bsky.social I blame you! 😂

So what were you driving 30 years ago? In 1995 I was driving an 88 VW Golf GTI 8v (wipers correct for RHD and no quarter lights)

Bank Holiday Dyno? There's a record of all of the cars I run on the dyno on my website. Cars are split into either production modified classes. The table they're on isn't defined by BHP but by % over (or under) book figure. What d'ya think is now winning the production class? youtu.be/22w_hm7l-e8

Abnormal to do a mid-day weekday release (not that it probably makes any difference) but this is a hot topic at the moment! Thoughts on DVLA's announcement that they're going to shake up the rules on registrations, and what it could mean for the classic and modified car world: youtu.be/nytP9DqBXyY

9 years since I bought the Fiesta 1.6 Zetec S (to replace my ST170), 3 years since I gifted it to my son for his 17th birthday. 69k on the clock and a strong 139bhp on the dyno. youtu.be/CvvaM2CVJAU?... Still looks good to me 🙂

I don't normally work on Porsches, they're normally cursed. However, this 2007 Boxster 987 has been in the family a fairly long time, so if I'm going to break my duck on any of them... It's been off the road about a year, so time to return it and eventually find a new home. youtu.be/-IEMfqJ-bts
