Righty oh!
My little Spitty is back on the road, and tomorrow she will be charging around the International Lorry Raceway, also known as the M25, once again. Now, I have been quite concerned recently over her complete lack of front suspension stiffness - her suspension likes to "bottom out" as I call it. This even happens on the odd sleepin' policeman. Basically the suspension goes down - and rather ungracefully comes to a bump, before bouncing back. Not fun when going hell for leather around a motorway. Now, to what my PO told me; he cut the front springs, as to make the front of the car go down to its proper height - as it should have been, before the silly American safety regulations got in the way. Now, methinks this means there ain't so much spring in her step, so to speak. And not knowing diddly-squat about suspension - I have no idea if this would be the case. It works in my head, but I assure you, you don't want to go there! ha ha! So if its not the springs that leaves me with the shocks... so maybe its them... I don't know. Whatever way, she ain't acting right. Any suggestions would be most pleasant... For anybody who likes either Geese or Spitfires; you may like to take a butchers at these photo's I took today: http://www.pbase.com/jcarruthers/ducksandspits Feel free to browse around my gallery - it isn't quite up to Tony Hart's standards (da da da da da da daaa da da daaa) - but you may also find some other interesting Spitfire photos - including my gallery of rust and dodgy paint work! Not for the faint hearted or iophobics (no Im not making that up - and its an epidemic amongst all Spitfire owners - or at least it should be!)
