I don't think we'd go to that level.  That said, though, there _are_
serious differences in road surfaces between, e.g., Germany and the UK.
Both are normally pretty smooth, but their interaction with the tyres
seems very different.

The most promising opening I know of at present is the specification of
the alignment job itself, _NOT_ the actual numbers used.  Hints have
suggested it's a 'less than one hour' job for US dealers, whereas Audi
in Europe allows two hours and BR Motorsport frequently take three.
