Just couldn't be more wrong.

For a start, it doesn't chatter on Acceleration, unless its Compressor Surge.

Secondly, its not 'Waste Chatter'.

Thirdly, a Smart car chatters and thats hardly high BHP is it?

Lets see the auction......

Here's another good one......

"De-valved (Baillie)"

Which translated from Chav to English is 'This car has a Bailey Dump Valve."
