Bugger you beat me to it. The look on the Italian guys face after you made him wash the car with your mitt and then he got the jetwash out and the paint fell of was a picture.

Some people will come here to defend the Chipsaway operator's livelihood

As in the CG case

I suppose with alignment you can partly measure how good a job has been done by how close the settings are to the desired ones.

The changing the of settings to suit a driving style is a very grey area and I'm quite cynical about the benefits of that to car or driver that never sees the track.

It quite possible Jamie's had a good job done, but if a paintwork expert looks at it and finds fault then surely Jamie's wrong.

It took someone else to point the bad job out to me because I didn't know any better.
