Just tried one in my garage

[Maf]

A very nice man called David from Kerridges has just come round to try a Tuscan over the speed humps in my estate and then see if it fitted in my narrow single garage. It was all very tight but it did all just about work. I might need to take the roof off every night to get out mind!

Going to do the proper test driving next Tuesday hopefully. However, when I took 'em for a quick spin last year I much preferred the cerbie to drive. This is a problem as there is no way that is going to fit in the garage and me get out.

Also, Kerridges is now a Noble dealer, and I have to say they looked mad on the forecourt. Again though, it slightly wider & lower than the Tuscan, and the Mrs says it is just completely out of the question due to there being no boot.

Why is life never easy?

Get some pipe insulation, cut it in half and put it along the garage walls by the doors of the car... saves any damage to the paint work!

I'm going to be putting up carpet on the walls to protect the sides and lino on the floor!!!

Why not get the cerb if you want one and push it into the garage. I do this so that I can put it right up against the wall so my wife can't destory the off side with the door on her car.

How was it over the humps, then? What sort and how high do you have to suffer?

Thanks for the replies guys.

I thought about covering the garage walls. I current have rubber car mats screwed at strategic points where the Impreza's door opens. I am thinking about getting some furniture foam and gluing to the walls for extra protection.

I am afraid the push in & out is out, my drive is on quite a reasonable slope.

Our humps are brick monstrosities. I am thinking of suing the council for restricting my personal freedom of car choice. Tuscan was ok over them though. What surprised me was looking underneath as it approached them, it was closest quite near the wheel as opposed to right at the front as I thought (hence S splitter should be ok). Must be something to do with a not quite flat approach I reckon. I think Tuscan clearance is only about 4 inches, and it was pretty close, so I guess that is the height of our bumps.
