About to take the plunge
« on: 25 November 2010, 18:29:46 »
Hello All,
Tomorrow, I plan to hand over the necessary and bring a 2003 2.6 CDX back to her new home.

Looking forward to many hours of smooth and trouble free driving. So I'll be checking and learning the ropes over the next few days.

It's very reassuring to have this amazing resource of information and hints to join.

Best wishes to all,
David

Hi David, Welcome to the OOF..  ;)

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

Hello again and thank you all so much for your welcome and good wishes - much appreciated.

Well, the deed is done!

This evening I returned with my new Omega - and promptly woke the whole road, as I'd not read the Handbook and managed to trigger the alarm.

But it's a wonderful advance over my old manual Scorpio diesel.

More soon I'm sure,
David
