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.

The raffle to win my 2006 Citroen C4 VTS 180 is well underway, but the C4 I'd rather pass over to the eventual winner is one that runs without an annoying noise.
In this video, I try to locate and extinguish it (without the use of fire!)

It's difficult to remember what things were like when I was little (it was a long time ago). One thing I do remember is absolutely hammering an old VHS tape my dad recorded of this programme to the brink of wearing it out.

To celebrate, here's a picture of it visiting the spot where I bought my very first car in the year 2000. It was a BX, naturally.

It's the day literally nobody has been waiting for! It's time to see how much power this 2005 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 16V Club still has!
Book figure is 103bhp, and being that I sold it two weeks ago, it's not my problem anymore if it no longer does...

I sold my Peugeot 106 'Dumpit' to a man named Ben. He was not only a kind man, but practical because he left me with a free Vauxhall Zafira that he no longer wanted.
I thought I could just scrap it, but when it cleaned up OK, I decided to chance my luck at car sales!

This is my wife's 2004 BMW Z4 2.2i, on my rolling road.
The side of me that wants clicks says "OMG it only cost £1300 will it blow up and how many horsez have been lost in 21 yrs?!"
The realistic side of me (and the one I'm likely to go with) says "It'll likely do just fine."

So what I've today is take a Griff that will likely produce even worse numbers, and make an even better noise!
