Wheel alignment, my oh my

[Sean d]

Got the wheels done today and took the Z for a drive and OMG what a drive it is, first roundabout saw me sideways and an over correction nearly saw me into a steel fence, all I could see was Tracey's Z stuffed into tree, I got a bit luckier and managed to steer out of it,
I drove it straight back to the garage as I needed a brew as I was shaknig and a bit in shock, can you imagine if it had all gone wrong so quick, anyway once I calmed down out it came again and I took it a bit more gingerly, It drives superb, just like a new car, no knocks or rattles that I noticed and feels so planted and flat in the corners, it felt sublime and I didn't want to stop driving.
The bottom end torque treally caught me out on that roundabout and of course my ACS isn't currently working.

Tony.

ps. Strange thing is I gave my Winters a bit of a work out due to being late up this morning.

good thing you knew how to correct that. so many people over correct and loose it the other direction. Thats why we dont drive all wheel drive cars, where is the fun in that!

It was before the tracking pal, the guy said it was miles out, the fronts where towing out when they should be towing in because the car is rear wheel drive, it was also pulling to the left

A month ago I was on my way home about 8:00 pm when a croch rocket ( motorcycle], passed me in my lane. scared the h**l out of me and p***** me off at the same time! Down shifted and the chase was on. He whipped his nimble bike onto anther road with only slowing down slightly, not realizing what I was driving could do pretty much the same thing.Only when I down shifted and cut onto that road, the rear end broke loose and the counter steering and tire squeeling began. came out of it like I knew what I was doing, but just got lucky. Although, the police officer that was sitting in the parking lot at that intersection of the two roads was not happy about any of it

I NEVER give it the beans unless the car is straight and settled.

 

[2DunnsZ3]

could have used that advice a month and 1 day ago!

Very lucky Sean, I presume you're all ok now though after a change of underwear

I guessed as much Sean, and that wouldn't have helped mate.
Glad you got away with a fresh pair of kecks mate.
