Smoother ride

2004-07-20 by pauldransfield@iname.com

Hi guys,

I took a quick trip in my Marcos to Home Depot over the weekend to pick up
some sprinkler system wire, and on the spur of the moment picked up a couple
of 30 kg bags of crushed limestone for some patio reconstruction work I'm
doing. The two bags fit easily in the trunk (boot) on top of the spare tire
and off I went. Well, what a difference it made to the smoothness of the
ride. I'm usually in the car by myself and even with new tires, shocks and
springs all around, the ride is usually quite harsh over uneven roads. I was
so surprised by the difference, I thought I'd pass it along. I'll have to
see if dialing the adjustable shocks three clicks back to the softest
setting has the same result.

Regards,
