By lil Clio, we had some good times together. Hopefully the new owner has as much fun as I did!

My last pic of my beloved Clio, loaded up with spare parts and driving away with its new owner. It’s blue with the white gordini stripes.

That looks like AI shite to me? Had me excited for a minute!

Zafira 1.6 16V vs. Dyno | Does this clever Vauxhall still perform?

Kitch @upndown.bsky.social · 10d

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...

Ah that's good!
All the button does in this car is alter the throttle mapping at low revs. Without it, it's quite docile and lazy. With it, it's snappier to drive in traffic, but better for heel & toe etc.

The beginning, middle and end of my Vauxhall Zafira ownership!

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!

No, never heard of him. Poor guy. I can see how he ended up there.

BMW Z4 vs. Dyno | Our cheap convertible sings its heart out on the rollers

Metro City definitely didn't.

I'm parked near a Suzuki Ignis.

Thought you'd like to know.

It's very odd, there's been little in the way of dickheadery in the comments on the Z4 videos.

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."

There has to be a reason our BMW Z4 was so cheap!

One car leaves, another car enters! My wife bought this 2004 BMW Z4 recently, but I still can't figure out why it was so cheap. It doesn't seem right!

So, in this video I'm planning to find out...

I have absolutely no idea what that is or what it does 😄

CITROEN C6 Update - It's not good news, but it is (kinda)

I hope I don't regret this.

Not many can boast they've got a Citroen DS parked outside their workshop.

It wasn't long ago that I strapped a TVR Griffith onto the dyno. The numbers weren't great, but the noise was.
So what I've today is take a Griff that will likely produce even worse numbers, and make an even better noise!

5 YEARS of owning a cheap Citroen C6

Kitch @upndown.bsky.social · Sep 22

2025 is a year of C6-related anniversaries: Not only is the C6 twenty-years old as a model, I've owned mine for five!

In this long sit down chat, I remember some of the good times; address some of the bad, and answer your questions, as well as compare it with a train.

Today, it's exactly 5 years since I took ownership of my C6.

Recording a special vid later chatting about how the past 5 years have worked out - exactly the same style as the first video I did on it.

If you have any questions on the C6 you'd like answering, get them in before 3:30pm!

Had a right mix of cars on the dyno recently and needed to feel myself again, so here's a grease-burning BX with 190k on the clock...
