    Sometimes the weights come off to, there was a bit on top gear about that and you can't belive the difference it makes with a tiny weight not on.

    ye its unbelievable just what a little weight missing can do to the ride quality or not so much ride quality but i.e. rattle in the steering wheel, just shows that a little thing missing can make big difference
