I thought I'd got the hang of this, but now I'm confused. Someone else
told me that a car will "tend to go in the direction of the most
positive camber". My experience with the Spit (assuming the readings
on the print-out are accurate) is that the car pulls slightly in the
direction of the side with the most positive camber (but, of course,
there may be other factors involved - see below).
