Default Real cars

I noticed today, after fitting some new wishbone bushes this week, that my real car is set up the same as my buggies, masses of camber and toe OUT!

That might explain the slight steering 'issues' I've been having on higher speed corners

Have your wheels fallen off the Ibiza too? Please don't attempt to jump it over the rugby posts.

I had masses of toe in (I think, might have been out) and it ate a pair of tyres in 6 weeks

The Focus-of-death has rear end neg camber, due to some chav lowering it before we got it, and sticking ridiculous wheels on it. Seems fine in the dry, but try and go round a corner in the wet and it snap-oversteers .
