Default Wow what a difference

Hi, I have had the adjustments made. The rear tyres and alignment were spot on. The front left was +25 and the front right was +11. these have now been corrected and the cars handling is like nothing i have ever experienced before. At high speed the XK8 just glides over bumps and twists on the road. I really did not think this car could handle twisty roads with such poise and grace. But it does now. I know this would happen as I wanted to report the wet behaviour and it decided not to rain for the first time in sodding months. I drove the car in the wet once just after it was corrected and it was great, but it has not rained since the adjustment apart from once. Bloody typical. If it decides to rain I will post a record of the handling plus the exact details of front / read alignment . **** happens
