Default Easy and Precise Do It Yourself Front End Alignment



Robo Volvo: We decided to have a little evening fun recently while reassembling the front end during a rebuild.

VW;

I'm thinking there might have been adult beverages involved (not that there's anything wrong with that...after all, you weren't "behind the wheel").

I love a good analogy...but would prefer "Whitewalls"...:

Cheers...from just down the road!

I think that you that might be into the spirits - I don't think the Saint would have been caught dead in a pair of saddle shoes like Elvis Presley wore, but he might have had a pair of boots when out in the country or at an estate?

Can any of you in the UK comment on what the Saint had in the way of foot ware?

"Both Connery’s and Moore’s shoes in 1963 are black three-eyelet cap-toe derbys. This style is more flexible than the more traditional and formal oxford style due to the derby’s open lacing, but the elongated vamp of this type of shoe lends it an elegant look."

From http://www.bondsuits.com/james-bond-...-street-suits/

I was so curious I had to do a search!

Probably had several pairs of shoes, but here’s direct evidence of one style

Cool Ohhh James!!

Ref. the alignment, as long as the measurements are plus/minus 007 they are O.K
