          Sounds good Jimmy. So he knows all the tricks etc for doing alignments on the Euro cars?
          Also what type of alignment machine does he have? Is it drive on, drive off or is it one of those ones that raise and lower? Reason I ask is if it's the latter I have to take my front bumper or the lip off to get it on the machine now.
          Cheers,

                Excellent Jimmy. I will be seeing him once my negative camber finishes chewing through my current set of tyres. I have recently discovered that the front camber on the R is adjustable due to the a-frame or whatever it's called being slotted. Should sort out getting the front back into spec. Now just to organise some adjustable rear control arms.
                Another question is does he just do the alignments and stuff or is he a tyre dealer as well?
                Cheers,

                  Yeah he can organise tyres and suspension , great guy to talk to. He knows all about the K frame adjustments. VW send problem cars to him and i know when we had Cayennes with monster wheels he set them up no worries. Give him the specs you want. Mention my name and he will look after Y,all.

                    sweet! Just down the road from me. I must have noticed this place before, but it's alway good to hear good reports. Thanks Jmac!

                      Car is booked in for an alignment on Tuesday. Time to get camber and toe etc back into spec. Will post feedback afterwards.

                        Well got the alignment done today. Rick is a top bloke (just like Jimmy) and his guys know their ****. Suspension is back in spec and if my car can get up onto the alignment machine no worries, then nobody else should have any problems unless it's properly dumped.
                        Hopefully now I can eek another 1000kms out of the old tyres before it's time for a new set.

                              I did when I called to book the car in and he mention you, so I will take it that he will look after me.

                              Thanks again for the plug
