Fuckin college has big speed bumps and whenever i go over them my centre section catches and it gradually pulls its self out of the decat
I had to drive 10 miles away to get on a flat bed ramp aswell cause the pissing kwik fit doesnt have one 
I cant even avoid the speed bumps as there right the way across aswell so its just going to keep happening
Argghhhh Rant over !

There are really steep speed bumps along the direct road to my road and the only way to avoid them is to drive an extra 10/15 minutes through the town centre so i got at like 1mph and go at an angle.
People dont like me when i do that though
