Ground clearance over bollard's

[CaptainJp]

I've found a garage to rent in London but it has a folding bollard in front of the door, it looks like it is about 10-12cm high.

Any idea what the ground clearance is on the car at the lowest point, I don't want to spank the sump every time I get it in and out.

Think its 13cm but it depends on the gradient of the road/drive

General area I mean't. I've stored mine in quite a few facilities including Chelsea, Imperial Warf, Shepherds Bush and Hammersmith. Most of them had rising barriers and never had a problem. The one in Chelsea was tight though because it had a sleeper before the barrier so was always worried it would bounce and catch it.

I measured it and it is 10cm high but on a flat section, so I'm going to wait till I'm back in May and see how I get on before I sign up.

I'm around St John's Wood area, West London, there are more A8, Aston's and Ferrari's parked on the road than there are garage's, I don't think anyone will worry my Noble

Just get a few planks, or something similar just to drive over to maintain clearance until you're past the protruding post?
