Have just returned from a quick trip on the M1. Did someone mention gantry? Did see a couple of them, quite impressive in both stature & illumination.

TBH V....it would be an unusual day for me to NOT see a Ferrari.

Usually see 1 McLaren a week too.

That's without cheating by going past Roman's showroom.
I did spot a convertible aston on the way back from work, but usually it doesnt get more exciting for me then fast audis and perhaps a porsche cayenne (which imho doesnt count..)

stupid car tax over here.. and stupid boring people only buying monochrome german hatches..

How much grip is too much grip?
Take one race car with very soft tyres
Add one very hot day at a high-grip test track.
Stir in a soft setup encouraging the car to roll and lift up inside rear wheels instead of sliding.

Result - one outside rear suspension wishbone displaying a spectacular case of eueler buckling.

Whoops.

The resulting wonky camber made the rear end begin to slide, leading me to think the tyres had finally given up and overheated. Little did I know until I was flagged in...

Marvellous things I spent my formative years riveting gantries, so much more satisfying than glue. Proper stuff those.
Ever seen a pelican crossing?

Ooh, er, missus.

No, Frankie. It's, 'eueler buckling.'

Oh dear, that old chestnut again...

The Archdeacon suffered a similar problem with his Poseidus V15. Quite simply:

Use harder tyres. Wait until the weather's cooler & go to a lower grip test track.

You should notice a marked reduction in the buckling of your euelers. If not, pull one of the HT leads off.

Hope this helps chap smile

Preferably with the engine running.

No, but I once managed to nick one with the lid from a tin of custard.

I have indeed, on a recent trip to Hartlepool. A number of elderly women were using it to facilitate their safe passage to the bus shelter. Wonderful to behold.
