((STUKA)) in English or Geordie please


Google can be your friend, it's not fussy wink

"The Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber was the classic precision bomber which provided very effective "airborne artillery" support to the rapidly advancing columns of German tanks in their Blitzkrieg tactic. Its main disadvantage was that it was a slow and easy target for enemy fighters."

They were fitted to the AeroSS after the American Top Gear program criticised the car for its high speed stability. Early cars do not have them an no Aeromaxs would have had them from new.

I have them fitted to my car but can't say I've ever found the car to be unstable at speed; therefore, I'm not sure I'd notice the difference.

I'll be attending a future vmax, can update then.
Max was stable at speed (156mph through a laser trap) but the front is starting to get light at that speed. I figured I would fit a set and see what difference it makes. However that update will need to wait until I get an opportunity to get over 140mph...

"Opportunity to speed", I guess it is the bank holiday after all. It can wait until tuesday 8^)


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Ah, Giles, you´re absolutely right! And don´t play with 007!

But... a trad-owner usually knows what it means to drive (sometimes) under water.

Was on the Autobahn last week, unfortunately in a 1.8 Audi though. Not much chance to make 140 in that thing though...
