I believe some of the F1 teams still use string
Interesting thread. I did my rear toe once using a ruler and a breaker bar (i.e. anything straight and long enough). It ended up being lots more than I intended.

I think they're checking for the distance from the body work to the line between the wheels, which is all part of making sure the car conforms to the regulations. As everybody knows, you need to do the geo at normal ride height, which it isn't in the photo.

I had my alignment done the weekend just gone because of me polybushing the car, now the car pushes round the corners way better than before a lot more confident in it, i went for a fast road setup
I had it done at Aline who i have used before and not far from me, very good guys & price was £45 all in inc vat for full alignment

The Ferrari mechanics are just putting all the setup gear on whilst waiting for the fuel to pumped out after a fire up. They will then set the car up on the floor. It all helps to save time as the queue for the flat patch where bodywork legality is measured can be 10 cars long, each car taking 1/2 hour ish. It can make the difference from a reasonable finish time or a late night!
