Funnily enough the tracking is fine when I'm 'zooming' around the numerous roundabouts in stevenage - it's when I'm driving up the A1 and the car suddenly decides to dive to the left because the camber has changed by 1/2 a degree that worries me.

The roaring meg estate is a pain in the a**e, whoever designed the parking layout there needs a bullet in the back of the head. It always gets clogged up on the main entrance opposite the new B&Q 'cos the routing around the car park requires a sharp left and most drivers can't do it without ending up in the middle of the lane that brings people in!

If I remember right, the bowling alley is in the middle of the leisure park... I don't venture there too much after dark 'cos of all the drunken young 'uns thinking I'm a cab and yanking my doors open.

Anyway - I shall add you to my mental list of people to ask once my autobox gives up the ghost!  :y

I'm looking forward to seeing what my tracking is like after the WIM visit on saturday!

Let me guess, you're a management consultant.

oh no, not likely.

I work in IT, listening all day to service managers, in-life managers, incident managers, deployment managers, project managers and so on.  I hear so much BS every minute of every day, i could talk it with a straight face

I find bugs in software and put others in myself.

I found a show stopper in a well know database driver a few years ago and I am currently hunting a bug in some purchased libraries for data browsers, exiting without closing some objects - eventually trashing the garbage collector

Found no end in Windows and Novell, both companies really good at sorting it.  Found a blinder in Novell's IP stack a few years ago, had one of their programmers in our office for a few days finding and reprogramming part of the stack (they couldn't replicate our environment - we had the world's largest tree) - that was an eye opener...
