Ladies and Gents,

I spent yesterday morning at Peter Smiths (the dealers that I placed my T350 order with at the Motorshow) and finally got to drive their demonstrator - all I can say is FANTASTIC!

Anyway, looking at the newcar they had in the showroom (Grigio Titanio) it looked seriously low, much lower in fact than the Tuscans - probably the front of the Tamora was only thing at a similar height. The demonstrator however didn't look quite as bad out on the forecourt.

Anyway, I've kindly had responses from Benno and Flasher (currently my mentors in all things T350 - thanks guys) about this...

Anyone out their had any experience with speedbumps / multistory car park ramps / ferry on & off ramps?

The T350 looks to have a slighter longer front overhang than the Tamora so may present more of a problem....

City centre parking and road trips abroad concerned!

EVO managed to get a Tamora to Italy for eCOTY-01 so I presume that it got on the Ferry or Eurotunnel without grounding (or maybe they just didn't own up).

How much damage was caused? Enough to warrant a touch up or respray? How does the GRP cope with this, is it just scraped or any cracks?

I image having to be very careful when parking up to kerbs either front or back but multistories will be a real pain as roadside parking is generally scarce.
