Spotted coming out of Union Road West onto the A413 - dark XM Series 2.
The shock of my life!

Thought I was alone around here.
Might be connected with the local hospital. I'll have to walk the car parks.

Illustrates perfectly why McFearsome struts are rubbish on anything
and double wishbones are the way to go!
Saggy in it's bottom too; thought s2's didn't "do" that!?

They do if the anti-sink sphere is flat.
The inlined angle of the front wheel is due to castor, not because it's McPhereson strut, though I do agree about the additional wheel control of double wishbones.
