An Englishman, a Irishman and a Scotsman are all in Saudi Arabia, sharing

a smuggled crate of booze when, all of a sudden, Saudi police rush in and

arrest them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi

Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the

booze, they are all sentenced to death! However, after many months and

with the help of very good lawyers, they are able to successfully appeal their

sentences down to life imprisonment.

By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely

benevolent Sheikh decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each

of the whip.

As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: "It's

my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one

wish before your whipping."

The Irishman was first in line, he thought for a while and then said:

"Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went

through. When the punishment was done he had to be carried away bleeding

and crying with pain.

The Englishman was next up. After watching the Irishman in horror he said

smugly: "Please fix two pillows to my back." But even two pillows could

only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again and the Englishman was

soon led away whimpering loudly (as they do).

The Scotsman was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the

Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from a most beautiful part of the

world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you

may have two wishes!"

"Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness", The Scotsman replied.

"In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not

20, but 100 lashes."

"Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also

very

brave". The Sheikh said with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes

is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish, what is it to be?"

the Sheikh asked. "Tie the Englishman to my back."

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
