Speed bumps

******* ***** ****

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...

FTFY

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.

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.

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.

A road near me has and will be closed for some months to have 'traffic calming' measures applied. A lot of time and money could be saved if they let the road rot a bit, rather than create a shiny new surface to which they add sped bumps and chicanes later; the potholes slowing the traffic.

Don’t bother. Get an S class , A8 or 7 series with air suspension; about 40,000 times more comfy over speedbumps and quite a lot faster than any SUV.

Got the porsche for p*ssing about anyway ...

True. Even though the road has been closed off for a few weeks now, I havn't seen anyone working or noticed anything done, maybe they are still at the planning and sucking teeth stage.

Note to self. Add bull bars to the spec.

I slow down for the speed bumps, and I often find myself followed by a Range Rover (or similar) whose driver wants to drive fast over the bumps because he can. Invariably they drive too close and annoy me, so I drive even slower and crawl over the bumps. This annoys them and makes me happy.

The end.

This is particularly amusing when you then put your foot down and despite the SUV's 5 litre turbodiesel v8 the twat can't catch you because his car weighs more than a house.
