@ Scortho, you off to Don anytime soon?

Hope not. Car is running fine? Why? What does he have out there? :pac:

Actually lads, I've a weird problem with the alfa at the moment, and it will be hard for my mechanic to reproduce.

When driving at high speeds (110kph plus) it feels like the passenger wheel is rotating at a different speed from the axle if that makes any sense at all?

It seems to be moving slower than the rest of the car and it's noticeable, really is offputting. It's like it turns once every time the rest of the wheels turn 1.25 times?

It's a lovely comfortable and manouverable tractor though?

I really enjoyed that drive in your car, totally changed my mind about the 159s

Lovely car

Eh, after translation your thick Thurles accent, I don't know this, the rotation on the front passenger wheel just feels funny compared to the rest of the car.

Honest to God, it feels weird, I'm tootling along at 130 or so, and it's like the wheel feels like it's on a go slow compared to the rest of the car. It feels seriously weird.

And like pred, I've never known someone manage to get their bogger accent across on the web. I've never heard deliverance type language like it

It made perfect sense to me:D

I can see how inferior non Tipp people might have to read it a couple of times though:pac:
