Default How low can you go ?

Just saw this near where I live. There is a slight slope approaching the kerb, obviously a few millimetres too much in this case !

We have a Volkswagen Sharan, I have absolutely no desire to enhance it, its a functional vehicle, there is no point trying to proove otherwise, we got ours in Red with plastic wheel trims, just cant see the point of tarting them up, or improving the performance as you really dont want to go fast in them, corners are the problem, it just goes straight on, car like my ****.

Its probably got the suspension which changes ride height with the touch of a button...

Either that or its a PS

I bet he always parks like that, so this suspension stops the risk of clamping!

Deport him back to where he came from, thats the only thing these people understand

What happens when these cars go over a pot hole. Front bumper gets ripped off?

The car I had before the Scoob was slammed 60mm all round. Needed to have the inner arches ground down to accomodate the rims. I got sick of the sound of scrapping metal every time I went over a speed hump. Multi-story car parks were also strickly no-go areas. Don't know how the owners live with these cars. Must be on hydralics as said above.

But then why park half in a bay and half in the street ? I did wonder what it would be like with 7 people in it...

From that angle it looks completely undriveable. How does it go up even the slightest of hills unless it can be raised? It's probably not parked in a bay properly because the owner is trying to prove some sort of point.

it looks so wrong any way the curvature of the wheel arch is just crap compared to the wheel.
