I got a chuckle yesterday from this diagram from a (genuine) truck workshop manual under the "door trim removal" procedure: 😂

I like to give them a bit of a pre-steam if doing this or sometimes they just dry out and are horrible. Pre-steam ensure pretty good chance of nice caramelisation ("carmelized" for the Americans playing at home). That being said, the freshness of Brussel sprouts at the local stupidmarket varies...

The dealer will 99% probability just sublet an alignment to a tyre fitters/wheel alignment company to do anyway but charge you a premium to cover the labour rate to drive it round there and back. A good wheel aligner will disregard the factory specs when appropriate and potentially give you a...

And people that don't clean/Rain-X their windscreens! Why would you voluntarily drive around with smeary blurred vision in the rain! 😵

Quoted for posterity. ;)

I often end up thinking "just give it a blat you soft prick!". It's a shame seeing timid seniors pootling supercars around. Defeats the purpose for me. Though to be fair the same could be said of me and my bike builds... :oops:
