Title: Another win for WIM
Post by: jjleonard on 21 April 2009, 11:13:01
Just come back from the WIM visit this morning - Tony was a star, let me torque up my wishbones properly when the car was up on the lift, then set the car up so beautifully that driving back to the office was a pleasure.

The A41 towards hemel might have seen a slight infraction on the legal speed limit....  ;)

Cheers Tony. WIM is an absolute goldmine, and i'm glad I could do my little bit to support it!

Yep, been there a few times now and Tony and the boys at WIM do a top job and I find Blackboots at WIM are top for tyres too. :y :y

Thinking of booking the miggy in with him now that the lowered suspension is done, whats the cost of a full set up, any ideas, or do you have his number.

Tony is the bloke on the left of the picture. Top fella.

They do an OOF discount - £60 +VAT (£69 all in) for full geometry setup.

rather road.

When I lived in Aylesbury, I used to work at a (now empty) large office block next door to the Red Lion just before the railway bridge as you hit Kings Langley on the old A41.

Every morning, I used to take my life in my hands on the A41, did I pick the 100mph lane, or the fast lane :o

I get that feeling on the M4 inbound to london at around 7.30 - 8am, it's like a rather racetrack populated by drunk, blind bumper car drivers. It frightens the sh*t out of me.

I can tell you at 10 this morning the A41 was empty and I got to test the straight line handling at some, er, not quite so legal speeds.

Ironically enough, now the handling is sorted and I don't feel like I'm going to dive into the crash barrier when going over the slightest bump in the road, it's a hell of a lot easier to look at the speedo and think 'sh*t, better slow down!'

used to do M4 at that time. Bloody night mare. Much better at 5.30am. Still a race track though. ::)
