Yes, that's a hazardous, tight little road. In fact it's one of the few places I would have actually supported speed cameras, what with it's blind corner and walled sides, and that is really saying something.

But why do the need to put lots of huge humps in it which hit the underside of my car!
And, in this day and age, do they really think we won't see the hilarious hypocrisy of it all when they put up new "Queues Likely" signs to signal the forthcoming additional congestion they have purposefully caused!


What a bunch of c***s!
Does anyone know of an existing campaign to have them (the humps or the berks who ordered them there) removed?

I discovered them a few days ago, I had quite a queue of cars behind me by the time I had got out of Boxley as I was having to wait for the road to clear coming towards me, so I could drive between the cushions up the middle of the road, no way my car would be able to drive straight over the humps. they are huge!

Yeap i know these ones. It is the same as you go through Tunstall from Sittingbourne to Maidstone. My Alfa hits the bottom of every one of them.

Pain in the arse!

I know the Tunstall bumps as I go that way quite often (though never in the Lambo). You're right, they're a complete pain.

How is the new Lambo by the way?

The Alfa hits but the Tiger is not to bad as long as you position the car correctly.

James would it have been after work sort of time? The Tiger is coming out more now the sun is around. Bet you are looking forward to enjoying the Elise a bit more with the sun.

Isn't it about time of a Kent meet????

I helped sorting out the first one, well, I went on the test run to check it out with Barry and Jamie.
That was memorable - I caught a full foot of air by enthusiastically not noticing the severity of a small bridge!

Maybe we could organise one?

I've got a Lotus run this weekend, but perhaps you and I could go exploring one afternoon in the next few weeks and see what we can find?
