probs a really stupid question...

as above but looking at that pic of the GT4 reminded me....

after getting my wheels powder coated i needed new centre caps so bought some prodrive ones, fitted them (all with the prodrive the same way and went to the shop for the missus (probs a 500m round trip) when i got back the were all different!!!  no wheel spins or anything!! how....

That's why cars have diffs Daz when you go round corners the inside wheels are travelling less distance than the outside wheels because of the curve of the corner, the diffs take up the difference in speeds between the wheels, but that why the centre caps will never stayed lined up.

Good answer Stevie - every day is a learning day! I never knew that  

Mythbuster stevie.
Good question that

honestly i reversed off the drive,went 300m down the back lane,left 20m and stopped,3 point turn,back down the lane and onto the drive!!

I think the kids have pulled them off and put them back on whilst you grabbed the milk lol

good luck!!! you need to take the wheels off first........saying that they probs had the milk as a break

all 4 wheels turn the same on the baba's buggy!!!!!  

As Steve said, when you turn the wheels, they misalign. Simples.

I want a rolls Royce for that very reason, the centre caps stay facing in the same direction 100% of the time. Attention to detail is unreal.

when i get a puncture why is it only flat at the bottom of the tyre ?
LOL

Why can't I find spark plugs for my diesel  

Spark plugs....

FPMSL.......there's an old bloke at work who tries that on the new starters..........when a truck tyre is flat he says to them "its ok its only flat at the bottom" and they stand there looking at it wondering what is going on hahahahaha

i know where the petrol goes and thats about it........ and yes i did not know diesel's did not have spark plugs....
