I discovered the fun at those speed bumps. Giving a bit throttle and jumping makes my daily driving routine less boring.
However i think my 3 series BMW is a bit hard for such bumps, which car would be a better choice for "flying" ?

Well there are 2 local old guys that I see blast over them at 40mph (in the 20 zone) quite often. They sometimes get some air which is quite impressive.

One drives a Metro and the other a Citroen C3.

Our works 2008 Fiesta takes them at about 40mph.

Not very well, I might add.

I dont know about getting air, but i quite like using the Jeep cherokee at the minute. wink

£700 worth of pure softness. Biggest softest leather seats u can imagine and big tyres n wallowy suspension are perfect for speedbumps.

Hydropneumatically suspended car of some description. The Metro would probably be the easiest one to find.

It's got to be a 2CV, Surely.

Indeed... think I'd go for a CX Turbo 2 or, if the budget allowed, an SM smile

I had an old Disco with buggered shock absorbers. It was fantastic! It was like hitting a wave.

My old Range Rover Classic on air suspension and fat 16" tyres hardly noticed speedbumps and could straddle the pillow type.
