Is it just my 110 that makes me have to reverse when going 360 round mini roundabouts?

Wish I could find a photo of it... Had 20 years ago when I was making a film in Liverpool... Filmed a lot on Formby Beach until I drove over a patch with goo underneath... She was still turning over with water around my waist... In the end watcher being dragged under with police, big red cross on top. I used to keep my film kit in it and it was never broken into... Only damage was when I parked it outside Irish Centre on a Saturday night, it was in full camouflage. Tried to smash the windows with a boulder but they must have been armoured as just a crack.

I tend to mount the curb a bit after going very wide.

Mine has the turning circle of the QE2!
get some wheel spacers or some deep offset rims. Tis the only way you will improve the turning circle if you have no more left on the stops.

More offset is the answer but not as kind on the wheel bearings

i wonder if different steering boxes make a difference, or badly adjusted track rods

Would the toe affect the turning circle to a noticeable extent?
