Who Needs a Gym When You Own A Dolomite .......!

#1 Post by Dolly Bird » Mon Mar 20, 2006 3:40 pm

24 hours into ownership of Molly The Dolly I've discovered that I won't ever have to visit a Gym again (not that I did that much anyway) because:<br>
<br>
No PAS (builds up my arm muscles)<br>
<br>
No ABS (builds up my leg muscles and raises my alertness to how far away I am from the cars in front)<br>
<br>
Raises my general level of fitness because I live in a top floor flat and the garage is 4 flights down!! (It's a bugger when you get to the garage and find you've forgotten something!).<br>

You can get away with running 28-30 psi in the tyres which will help a little. Otherwise, if you want popeye arms then stick with the handbook pressures!<br>

7.5st Mrs manages a Dolly okay. I think you may need to check the tracking...<br>

Mind you ours is an older one with the bigger steering wheel...<br>

Heavy Going

#4 Post by Silvery » Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:28 pm

My TC is light as a feather to turn (shame it currently doesn't really go and has various parts missing), whereas my old HL was quite heavy in comparison, though still nothing like as heavy as my 2000 (which is basically fubar mechanically).<br>
<br>
<br>
Pressure wise.. I stick 32psi in all round, gives a more progressive break away when being silly, a fraction better mpg, and generally a bit more feedback. I know it's a little on the high side though, and probably a long way from optimum.<br>
<br>
Could be your rack needs greasing, or a balljoint or two is stiff...
