Well didn't quite work out like that started driving of the drive slowly nowing it would be close then it happend heard the first scrap as the tow points on the front dug into the road so tried to go abit more well things then got worse wouldent go forward or backwards just spinning on the spot :/ so after trying everything rang a mate who turned up in a transit to help well he towed me out I parked up and there's to 1" gouges in the road there about a foot long as well, Well at least I now no not to park on my drive unless I make some ramps Haha So who else has got there car stuck?

Steveo121 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Got them of a mate and were both unsure how low they went. I've got the standerd 14" alloys on it with 195/50s on and it's tucked halt the tyre into the arch . But to be honest I've got a very steep drop curb onto my drive Yes I took pics but still haven't found my lead to put them on the PC so will have to wait I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
