Speed Hump!

Huh, you're just going fast enough :-)

Just *not* going fast enough??

It does make a difference, you know!! Or is that doesn't?

If you go fast enough on a dipped retarder then your wheels don't drop much :-)

Perhaps it would have made a difference when I drove over a large missing slice of road edge in Ibiza in a hired Fiesta! I was only doing about 30, and had 3 passengers in and didn't want to make a violent swerve, so I held the wheel very tight and shouted "Brace yerselves"!

We went over what turned out to be a 2ft deep hole with two sickening thumps, which burst two tyres, buckled two rims, damaged the sump or filter and let the oil out, and cracked the windscreen. The car veered onto the dirt verge before I wrestled it back, but was then locked up.

The Rental guy who came out to us looked the car over, and looked at me with pure delight on his face. "Fantastico"! he said......

Pah!!!

Any excuse to have a drink whilst on holiday!
