It's not only potholes causing the motorists to spend out. Speed humps.. I drive up shaw hill almost every day in my classic mini and really annoy other motorist by having to go 2mph over the monster sized speed humps. Not only do I have to either drive in between 2 of then (Illegal) or 1 wheel over the middle which destroys the suspension, if i go through as I'm supposed to I scrape the standard exhaust even going at 1mph.

Maybe I should send repair costs through to the WBC and see how it goes? wink.gif

Actually selling the car now due to prices it costs to drive are ridiculous repairs/petrol/ tax/ins easily save myself a good £3000 a year by walking 2 hours a day!!

Oops should be in random rants..
