Cerb in a Multi Storey Car Park???

[r7oky]

Going away next weekend and the hotels car park is a multi storey, wanted to take the cerb for a weekend away but did not want to look like a tit if the cerb gets stuck on the ramps, and dont fancy leaving it in some dodgy back street car park.
Does anyone know or had their cerb in a mulit storey car park will i get up and down the ramps without bottoming out?

Cheers

I took my old cerb round a couple and its very tight! Did scrape its belly a couple of times but I also had to 3 point the turns a couple of times due to lack of lock and this was on a 4.2 with 16" rims.....

Possible but tricky , you have to think about every turn and give yourself as much room as possible

Multi-storeys have differing ramp angles, too

I visited the multi storey in Leeds - got as far as the first ramp and the warden - realising that I was struggling - let me park it in a disabled bay. Nice man ! Wider bays meant less chance of a dink in the door.

Took my Cerb into a Multi-storey in Windsor....ONCE... the turning circle with 18's on is Sh*£e, lots of multi-point turns and the De-cat + sports exhaust was setting car alarms off on every level I went along!!

Also narrow bays can leave you esentially locked out, after that decided that Multi's were a bit of a no go.

oh... those car alarms...... must have been at least 10 all in sync... funnily enough I got a LOT of strange looks...

Why not call the hotel and ask if theres a spot on the grond floor that they can reserve for you?

No offence but i can't see some hotel receptionist booking a parking place especially for a Cerbera let alone any performance car?

I've been in loads of multi storeys and never had any problems.

There again there's always the first time...

I have had problems on departure when joining a down ramp to exit - usually I become complacent because I had no probs on the way up so I drive normally, dropping the front wheels down the ramp I have twice now been greeted with an almighty crunch as the middle grounds out on the apex, think I am probably catching the seat mounting bolts but it is a particularly unpleasant sound and I feel a bit sorry for the old girl for a while afterwards. Theoretically you could or should I suppose have the same thing on the way up, when the fronts flatten out and the rears are still lower on the ramp but strangely that has never happened to me.

Isn't it the exhausts causing the most trouble . . . scrapping and all?

Tokk my Cerb to Spain four times - hotel garages have very, very agressive ramps, like driving over a cliff. Never had a problem, just took it slow and went over very sharp angles at 45 degrees

This all sounds quite scary, my Cerb has 19inch wheels... Yes honestly, and although it handles just fine, excepting having to avoid heavy compression, I don't dare attempt a multi storey.

Has anyone else got 19inch wheels on a cerb - Its a 2000 SP6 if that makes any difference.

We have 18's on a 4.5 LW and MOH has taken it in our local multi storey and it was fine, very noisy but no bottoming out, and I don't remember him having too much trouble with the turns either.

However I haven't attempted it and I'm not sure I want to.

The multi-storey on Wellington Place, behind the Crowne Plaza, is great for the Cerb; wide ramps, gentle slopes and never too busy.

I've been in loads of multi storeys as it sounds so good!! I have found that sometimes you need to do a 3 point turn to get round the tightest corners but that's the worst I've had.

Been in a few multi-storeys but the only problem I've had is being sat too low to reach up to put coins in the payment machines on the way out!
