Outrunning the wind!
« on: June 12, 2011, 01:21:45 AM »
Has any GPA owner noticed how sensitive the car is to high winds?  If so, my recommendation is to outrun the wind, eg. go faster than it.  Always works.  I've been wondering whether there was anything wrong with tyres or tyre pressure, but it was just the wind blowing under my GPA.  If I outrun the wind I am perfectly fine.

my advice, if you on a motorway and there are high winds and you come out of a protected area, SLOW DOWN, the sudden force of the winds coming across you will knock you sideways... stay clear of high vehicles too, they wobble too much, especially the canvas side trucks  :fear:
