Why I'm not lower

I have to admit the roads in sheffield aren't the best, especially for low cars. so many potholes etc. trying to avoid them is pointless since you end up going into another bit of uneven road or something else

People try to overtake me when go over the bumps in jesmond as there are 3 bumps in the road...i usually take the one on the left...drivers side on the bumps, others off...the amount of times people think i'm pulling over and try to get past is stupid

I always have a queue of traffic behind me when going over speed bumps

my car had to have its undertray/sump protector removed to get off the ramp at the MOT station as it kept catching!

The thing is, even with snaking I wouldn't get over the main ramp into work (1st pic) I reckon if I was 5mm lower I'd have to walk to work

There's another one at the back of my works which I haven't even attempted because I think I'll get beached (the front wheels are the other side of the ramp before the rears have gone up it!!

I remember doing my last oil change and looking at my lower strut brace, it's hacked to hell after some back road madness
