What have you done to your Maserati today?

Zep did mention that it was used 'for classics with heavy brake drums and wire wheels' and the TR did have wire wheels, perhaps with modern setups it would be not so noticeable
I had steel wheels done on an old company car because I complained about wheel wobble after new tyres. It certainly fixed it.

They were probably buckled. Given what happens to all of your wheels ;)

Looks ace C. I have been thinking about doing something to my GT wheel. It is the standard black, but would like it to look more like this.

Possible???

I suspect Royal are who you want. This was a lucky score from Facebook via Banshee motorsport. Need to swap the buttons over from mine (mine are in better condition) and I need to take Mrs C to work tomorrow morning while her Alfa gets serviced, so it's a job for Wednesday

Do you drive like you dance, Eb? Frankly, that can be the only explanation.
Obviously bearings are like light fittings. I skipped the light fandango and the ceiling comes crashing down. Chase a few forum members around Europe and my bearings turn to cheese.... Must be something to do with being in France....

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind a seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

So the 1st lasted 42k the 2nd 32k and the 3rd just 10k.

Would it be fair to say significantly decreasing performance for otherwise like for like use.

Quality standards appears to be falling.

Just given the Strad some TLC ahead of Saturday as I won’t have time to do much to it before Saturday and it’s going I be wet for the remainder of the week.
- oil and water
- tyre pressures
- battery on trickle
- hoover
- wash
- autoglym “quick wax” (amazing stuff)
She is under my leaky old OEM cover until the new one arrives.
Must not forget crash helmet for the track.

Well no idea what happened before I became the current custodian! - But probably since I had to change both front bearings the minute I bought the thing! Couldn't really argue with the garage as they were in Coltrane in N Ireland!
