Re: Speed Bumps

Try driving over them at 45'.

We have some speed humps on the private industrial estate where I work, I catch my standard ZS on them if I'm not careful, actually got the F beached on one of them once!

MJS will come to you and do that sort of thing as long as it's a simple bolt job, or they have a workshop near Worthing.
