Bottomed my car out yesterday ... OUCH

[big phil]

Still on holiday at the mo down near barnstaple and decided to take the kids to a war museum out in the sticks , on the way we turned a corner with a steep decline and at an angle , Then we heard that horrible scraping sound and then it jolted to a stop , balls !!! Tried to reverse but again it had caught on something ...., everyone had to get out on a blind bend in the wet !! The wife and kids were pooing themselves but it had to be done , while they were out I put on full lock which raised the front end up slightly and luckily I was able to get it free , the people behind us told me that at one point I only had 3 wheels touching the ground !! Not checked underneath yet but I'm not looking forward to finding out that's for sure !!! That's what -65 mm does for ya !!!!

^^^ in fact I went the other way, from SRi to Elite and I love the softer suspension, must be an age thing.

Ah, Cobatton Combat Vehicle Museum - excellent. It is requiring a 4x4 to get there though.

Barnstaple is where I grew up. A nice place to visit and plenty to do.
