No weddings for me ( nice one Jason) but did get to drive my car for the first time since back surgery, took it for a 4 wheel alignment. I had a long chat with the very helpful team at Center of Gravity who pointed me in the direction of the rear toe and resultant thrust. I was able to watch as the Protyre team in Poole reset my car to the specs Andy B originally gave me. It was definitely adrift by some margin regarding rear toe and camber was lacking about a degree. We went through the whole set up to be sure. I still need to find about 1/2 degree more neg camber on the front offside but my word what a transformation. It feels really planted at reasonable pace and corner exit is totally brilliant it just hooks up and rockets out in a nice straight line. So happy.

Hi Graham,

I've found the solution to the 915 problem - drive a 914 for 5 years, and then get back into a 911 with a lovely precise 915.....................bliss! 8)

Got myself a sound system for the car.... 1970's suitcase recycled with a 200w sound system, Bluetooth, 18hour battery & car charger....sounds good too :-). Came from California....like the car.
