    Just don't try to do a U-turn at a set of traffic lights.....it dosen't happen

    Parking at the shops you have to reverse in over the garden or you stick out too much

    its usually more accurate to describe what your asking about as an orbit rather than a circle.




    kerb to kerb is something like 12m and wall to wall is over 13. for a stock 110

    and 14-15+ for a 130.


    it can be improved by messing with the steering stops but that can put you into chassis/body rubbing territory.

    If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

    You Should try turn round in the Uk where the streets were made for horses and carts and not cars. I grew up and did my driving test in Winchester and the width of the streets are tiny there. A real art to doing a 3 point turn in a Pug 205 never mind a Landy
