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)

Thanks

Delivered a car to him today. James is so much nicer to deal with than the large chains.

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.

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.

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! πŸ˜‚

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)

All wheels welcome with @hubnut.bsky.social πŸ˜‚.

I can’t find a picture of my favourite car of that day…a Citroen AX with a Saxo VTS engine. I also seem to remember a good selection of JDM there too.

4 years ago today, attended my 1st Hubnut Social @hubnut.bsky.social @misshubnut.bsky.social

It was a great day out with my son, showing what is now his daily driver (the Fiesta!).

I worked for Renault in 2005, and have very fond memories of the 182s. Could still be very tempted to buy one.

It should sell very quickly (well would in the uk). What do you think you will replace it with?

Does the hyping option on YouTube have any noticeable effect for creators?
