Over the years, we've enjoyed driving them in a number of interesting cars: MGB, 320i, Audi TT; even a Corvette.

Glad you liked the trip reports.

What a difference a couple of weeks makes. Roads are in great condition now.

I think I need to head to Montana! The car's looking good too.

Its feeling good. Getting the last bit of ride-height and alignment dialed in today. Rear is coming down about 5mm, rear camber is bumping up a little higher and KT is getting set around 3.5.

I'm exciting to drive it after the work is all done. Hoping this will be the last set of tweaks and she'll be good to go!

Come to Montana any time, I'll show you around . At speed!

And a bison rib eye afterwards whilst we talk Porsche.

Similarly let me know if you're over here.

The rear looks a little higher now, about ROW sport height?

I'm now keen to see how KT at 3-3.5 feels on my car. If turn in sharpens up like my E46 M3 which feels like it's up on its toes, that would be a good thing. I'd say before its current alignment, mine felt quite flat footed. Afterwards, it transitioned to walking on the ***** of its feet, so I think there's scope for further improvement.

In my garage, which isn't completely flat admittedly, I measured front at 140 and rear at 136. My target is 140/130, so I need the rear to come down just a bit.

I'll let you know what it feels like after today's alignment.

Springs is well and truly here! I found a new road recently and while its still a little sandy from the winter it has great promise.

Here are a few pictures from the drive.

There's still a lot of snow on the mountains. It's a beautiful Spring day here.
