    Thing is the heavy vehicles they are using are causing potholes everywhere as the village roads aren't used to this. scumbags the lot of em.

      I once had to replace the oil sump in my fiat 124 spider as 10mph was too fast.

      Cost £800 to hammer the sump back into shape.

        My C5 (hydro-pneumatic suspension) works well on speed bumps. At first it was quite disconcerting approaching a speed-bump at speed only to find that it was like droving over a hedgehog.

          The local council are in the process of messing up my very nice village with speed bumps because the supplier paid them a fat bribe. So **** em. This weekend, I'm going out to buy the most polluting Range Rover Sport I can find so I won't even notice they are there. Hopefully poisoning as many of their children as possible in the process...
