Preparation continues...

Damian was up bright and early to drop Booger Mobile back to the suspension shop for some steering component replacement and a wheel alignment...


With only a couple of days before the boys head to the esCarpade, it was time to get some lollies sorted out for the school visits...  Individually wrapped lollies are a requirement.


Later in the day, Damian returned to the suspension place to find Booger Mobile about to go on the hoist for it's wheel alignment...


They used some impressive looking machinery, hooked up to computers... but in the end, it was a lot of cursing and brute force that got it to behave...


The staff went above and beyond, staying back till after 6pm to get the job done...  In the end, it was discovered that due to some structural alignment issues (possibly from previous years, or simply from being a 48 year old car), it wasn't possible to get a perfect wheel alignment... but it's pretty damn good!!

The drive home was uneventful, but Damian noted that the steering felt good...  Far more responsive than it was previously, so that's got to be worth something!!
