I remember someone commenting on this before Kevfitz.
It may have been when a group of TMers from the South West took part in our yearly factory visit.
There was an Aero in the PDI bay, I think, and it had the most awful non-alignment of the rear wheel in the arch.
Offset it was; not good it looked and agreed by all.

Weekend in Twyning in black 4/4...watched Upton on Severn Triathlon on Saturday and on to Weston Supermare on Sun ...nice blast in the sunshine.
Called in the Factory this morning to see what's about ..looked at 3 Series 5 Aeros (one bright Lamborgini Orange for Krazy Horse)...all had really bad. to my eye, non centralised rear axle/wheel set up.
I certainly would not part with over £100,000 for such a poor set up !!!
The misalignment is really noticeable and spoils the car in my opinion. I'll probably see it as I've got to go there soon to get my timepiece 2 wolf clock from them .Thats a mad colour for any car !

Have had the +4 in a mates garage for a couple of weeks as I have had tradies using the garage to access the back yard moving bricks and sand, so haven't had a drive for a while. Finally today went to get it, it only just started as the battery was low and checking the tyres they were down to 11 on nearly all four. Quick trip to the servo for air and then a nice 1 hour drive to charge the battery..
Lovely, smile is back on.

A smidgeon over 300 non-motorway miles for me today, I went to see Sid Watson over in March, Cambridgeshire about making me a set of fibreglass wings.
A lovely chap, we had a great natter, his son Matthew showed me examples of the wings and the moulds, and I was very impressed.
So it looks like I have a winter project!

Nice little 30 miles around the Devon lanes this evening taking in the country air, spotted and waved to a Baby blue MGB proper chrome bumper one.
This last fortnight I have seen so many Swiss registered and Nederland cars - the usual flurry of German registrations but the increase in the Swiss one's is marked this year.
Is it the favourable exchange rate due to the political debacles of the last 2 years I wonder ?

It was a stunning day here today in N Yorkshire, with cloudless skies, and temperature in the low 20s. We headed out for lunch just off the A66, followed by a 20 mile trundle round the sunny lanes back to Richmond - almost perfect. The only reason it wasn't perfect was that SWMBO has rather taken a shine to the +8, so I can't answer the thread title question in the affirmative - she insisted on driving......

We're under house arrest today. House sitting for MissW. Gas man coming between 1300 & 2000. An eight hour slot. That's ok then.
I've brought some reading.
