306 estate (1.9 TD) = 1155kg

307 SW HDi = 1390kg

And a big elephant :
Citroen C5 X7 Tourer 2.2 HDi = 1765kg

To me, anything much heavier than the 306 is pretty heavy, but it is quite an outdated yardstick! :-D

Agree with you there Matt, my old picasso felt lighter and shorter.

That's definitely tired, or perhaps rather shy! :-D

Yes I watched that this morning. :) He needs to get it plugged in, or get himself set up with means to do it himself.
Though how cross he gets at the lights on / keys left in reminder noise, I could see Bella leaving his fleet in the near future! He loves variety (which is fair enough!) and plenty of stuff seems fairly ideal for him soon seems to be off out the door!

Indeed, the stuff least suited to him:
Altcit = too big project
Fairmont= good car but running costs always going to hurt. He likes to punt round the corners (and lives in Wales) and it's not great for that. But can see the connection there so can at least understand that one.
Gisele= suits him down to the ground but seems very cautious about using it for fear of it dissolving in the salt.

Seems to hang around the longest!


Tell me more about your judder: certain RPM? Steady cruise or prompting a bit of acceleration - any trigger that does it consistently?

Ah, didn't know he'd been on here.

Seems a busy existence with his new family, shop, lining up, filming, editing the videos etc all himself - the tinkering videos have become very sparse of late, understandably.

That's two honourable mentions for our dear HubNut on this forum today ;)

It is indeed a shame he doesn't post on here any more but as said... Time. All his activities must consume loads of it and leave very little for forums...

Only recently have I got to know his videos... I rather enjoy them. I found him by accident when I spotted a video he made of his AX road-test.

Not sure how I came across the Hubnut video channel, but since subscribed and watched I think most of them by now. As you say, enjoyable watching and dragged me into adding to the comments (something I've never done before) chipping in with things to check.

I do find he sometimes seems to take the "short term bodge" over long term "just flipping do what it really needs to fix it" approach.

Didn't know he'd reviewed a C5 (other than his own mk1 estate which seemed perfect for him but was punted on because I think he was scared of it needing a clutch. Also grumbled about lack of power but seemed reluctant to explore getting a remap)

That C5 then put made the YouTube algorithm give me Up-n-Down - another enjoyable channel and I'm slowly digesting everything he's put out there too.

(Slowly as mostly "watch" flipping Paw Patrol at present is the thing that a certain small person typically insists is on - it's dire!)
