40 Jc 10 slip onto dual towards Brackley? Often leave Cruise set at 80 until completed slip road turn, often fly past braking BMW's and such.

Why slow down so early? You only need to knock about 30-35mph off for the roundabout, not need to ease off until at said roundabout 

From what I'm hearing, your mum drives faster than you - ironic really, considering what she says

I don't slow just leave cruise set until I have to brake, I had my old Senator vary sideways there, at a rather slow speed too

Rarely use cruise on motorways, just not possible on UK ones

It was a Senator, or course it went sideways, thats what they did. Most of those weird handling triats were fixed for the Omega, though I've always said they went overboard, and dialled in too much understeer.

The camber on that roundabout has the potential to catch you out (doesn't it, Mrs chrisgixer ), so thats why I say 45-50 is tops around there...

And the next 3 roundabouts are often slippery as well, so caution is advised.

Can't match that, young jedi, only ever had wiggles there, usually when I least expect it.

In fact, I don't think I've ever had an Omega facing the wrong way. Clearly not trying hard enough.

Got too cocky with the Senator after dropping Max off that night there was major surgery on this V6. It was absolutely soaking, plus oil on the ground. That's my excuse anyway

Don't believe that for a second although the Bullet has both working suspension and decent tyres

M40/M25 slip is another one, cruise left on, 90% I always catch someone on that slip road turn.

Yep you'll soon catch someone if they are all stationary on the slip road!

[chrisgixer]

Exactly. If the car is never driven hard enough to to move the front suspension, such as compression under braking, extension under acceleration, body roll in corners, or any combination of, with bumps thrown in. Then the bushes will never move enough to wear out.

I do wonder how Tunster gets round corners.

Is this why my mum's first ever MOT on her current beemer failed miserably of worn suspension components...

Bet it's got about 120k miles on it?
