She lives.... And I mean properly lives. The weather was ok today so I crabbed my way to the alignment place. I was unhappy with how she felt to say the least, but as I'd set the geo up "by eye" with no measuring instruments whatsoever I expected it to be a mile out. Top alignment people too, letting me get under the ramps and do half the work myself!! Turns out everything was virtually within tolerance and the only real prob once I'd set the ride height was the tracking which was almost 2 degrees out, but still not bad from just looking and going "that'll do".

Anyway, enough rambling, I took her for a shakedown afterwards and oh my goodness she's transformed! biggrin I finally got to press the pedals a bit and she easily wound up to highly illegal speeds and felt stable as a rock yes Give it a few days to bed everything in and re-torque and I'll be back on the road properly on April 1st. Can't wait bounce

Rob, bad news I'm afraid. I've just changed the insurance on my Chimaera today (winter fire & theft to summer fully comp), starts Tuesday, and that means only one thing. Come 1st April it's gonna chuck it down like it's going out of fashion.rage

What a load of wimps. I've done over 1000 miles in the last month in mine with a trip to Aberdeen and back. Went up over the Horseshoe pass in N wales on Sunday, bit of slushy snow around but a lovely bright day. They're only cars after all, get out and drive them.
