Tuscan might get damaged going down driveway!
Discussion
I'm moving house in a few weeks to a temp location for a few months. It's got a double garage so I'm looking forward to tucking the Tuscan in a nice new home. However, I'm concerned the car won't get down the driveway without damaging the front or rear. I'm wondering without going to drastic measures of getting the driveway raised has anybody used any other methods? i.e. planks of wood, steel plates, etc.
My car is a Tuscan S with Gaz Gold Pros. Sitting low thanks to full adjustment by Topcats.

I know someone with a Lotus Esprit who has to cross an inclined path between his drive and the road.
Going straight forward scrapes the front spoiler, so he drives across at an angle which effectively reduces the angle of descent. Similar process on the way back in.
Whether you can do this depends on available space of course.

I know a chap who uses planks of wood to get his Jade racing car out of his garage due to a steep lip and very low car.
Seems to work fine, he just has a number of varying thickness pieces of wood that he adjusts accordingly. One end is tapered to create the most even connection with the pavement.

I have to this at home, luckily(?) it's a shared driveway with the neighbour so I have plenty of room to manouver.Going straight forward scrapes the front spoiler, so he drives across at an angle which effectively reduces the angle of descent. Similar process on the way back in.

When TopCats kindly refitted the front spoiler to my cerbie (hadn't had one for 3 years!) I couldn't get it out of the garage. The pavement dips slightly, and the road's got a big canver, and the spoiler just ground out.
Few pieces of wood sorted the problem temporarily until a speed bump in a French supermarket car park took out the spoiler
