Grounded!!

[nodz17]

So I moved into my new house yesterday with the garage + one off street parking space that I'd been looking forward to using (& to be honest were one of the main reasons I bought the house). I take the 993 out of my mum and dad's garage, drive it home & pull into my drive. Arrgh crunch! First the front bottoms out with a huge scraping sound, then the back does the same. I reverse it out with the same results. It's the stuff of nightmares! I was going to lower it soon as well!!

Basically there's a gaping canyon between the high middle of the road and the low kerb before the pavement rises quickly towards my drive - hence the front catching the pavement and the back catching the road.

So, before I kill myself or hire a lock up garage (I'm NOT leaving it on the road) I was wondering if anyone has any ideas. I'm thinking maybe some sort of ramp or perhaps some sort of strong board. Is there a product out there? Has anyone else had this problem?

Help, advice or just sympathy would be welcomed.

cheers.

Is that a suggestion or a statement?

[nodz17]

or both!

pull in sideways if that makes sence rather than straight on

Are the tyres properly full od OPC approved uber-air

if not your in danger of ridicule

Can't you fill the canyon with cement?

[BliarOut]

Can you make a triangulated wooden ramp that fills the canyon?

My god we have a different way of solving the same problem!

We do.... But at least we've established with some degree of certainty that the canyon is the problem

Lol!

Maybe an extending drawbridge made out of Stainless steel with a high grip surface, Hydraulically actuated and radio controlled is the answer?

beat that :P

This is a joke. I am not advocating blinging neonz or LED horsebrasses. Honest.

I'd just go really fast every time

does the wireless still work loudly enough

[nodz17]

the canyon, i'm afraid, is on the road and therefore owned by mole valley district council.

by selling the car i could just about afford the radio controlled stainless steel drawbridge.

why do i get the feeling that my fellow pistonheads aren't taking my situation entirely seriously!!

Prospect of getting 'big air'


As I think the yoof describe it

[randlemarcus]

Bl00dy pikeys! Look at that half barrow of concrete they seem to have dumped.

[rich 36]

Does the canyon in fact want to be bridge/concreted

consider the gutter for heavens sake

[wildoliver]

Just concrete the bugger.

Fill it in with tarmac. It must have happened before you moved there
