I've all new suspension on the S, so need to give it the old 4 wheel alignment etc etc. Would anyone know the correct figures so that my local chappy can set it up correctly.

Also, what's the correct ride height, mine is a little high at the moment.... I think.

Heres a side pic, is it a bit high, or was my last S a bit lowrider.

The S3 had adjustables and I'd lowered it a couple of clicks. Didn't do anything for ground clearance, but did help with road holding.

Heheh - just about to post a spotted for yesterday! But knowing it was in the classifieds, didn't know whether 'twas old owner or new owner.

Spotted bloke and a kid yesterday passing the KFC near Airbus at about 1pm.

5 minutes later another V8S would have been on the same roundabout you were heading towards; pity you didn't meet it. On the other hand, maybe a blessing cos my girlfriend would have got her THIRD spotted in MY car whereas I have NONE!

Got rid of the wedge then, Mike?

My first spotted... Mini silverback and I were returning from meeting wifey.

I didn't spot another Tiv, normally I've got eyes like a jap sniper, must have missed it. Saying that I did spot a gold tuscan so we must have all been out.

Wedge was good, but I was fortunate enough to be able to go for this one...honourable pickle took the wedge as a px.

I doubt me g/f was out of Airbus by the time you got to the roundabout. I was stood on the pavement beside the road near KFC waiting to hear my V8S go by... I rarely get to hear it from the outside, you see
