[Mgb-v8] Wheel nut torque

[James Bown]

It is very annoying how the tire dealers do such quick and messy work. I have
taken to showing up with a torque wrench and asking if I can go out in the
shop to tighten up the nuts. Usually just asking causes them to do the
tightening by hand with a torque wrench.

Regards,
