Re: Who else has this prob with lowered/bodykitted cars?...

[Alex T]

RAC have got Porsche/Lotus/Ferrari contract so I was told by one of them, so they have a fair few Tilt n Slide trucks..

They got mine off the other side ok I was told, as they parked on a gradient and went off easier than getting it on.

[smarts]

When mine got \'rescued\' the other day i said i needed a low lowloader and so one of the clever ones turned up - fresh from carrying of those new maserati mc12 things that had had ignition problems. Apparently even with the trick truck that was a pain to load.

I know what you mean mate. Some speedbumps are horrendous! Especially newer ones like in Bluewater car parks! Almost taller than my bonnet!

[memski]

Lol I\'d just remove my bumper if I had to call out recovery. Height adjustable suspension is even more of a pain to do. The long way round to avoid speed humps is a must.

[gsb876]

Lots of people now remove their front noses as almost impossible to get onto recovery trucks without scratching or cracking the front ends :3Confused

What we all need to do is carry in the boot some wooden ramps thus helping to make the car higher for such problems,

Gurj :Thumbsup!

That\'s why my bumper is held on by 4 quick release fastners - otherwise I\'d never get it on the trailer.
4 twists with screwdriver or similar and the whole front comes off. Takes about 30 seconds. Solid as a rock when mounted.

Tell us more please, how do they work? :cheers

ive had to jack my coilovers up to sensible levels. i was having trouble getting onto my driveway via the standard wedgecurb!

it would be mint if we could have the facilty that lambo has which when you press a button an acutator lifts the front end up!

the quick release bumper mod sounds like a good idea for us cheap skates!!

Tiger, where abouts in blackpool are you? is yours a black fd?

Sorry for the thread hi-jack!!!

[D2BBA]

Yep, just tell them. I told them as soon as I mentioned the car will probably need recovering that for them to send a tilt and slide and not bother sending anything else. Otherwise you could be in for a long wait by waiting up to a couple of hrs for recovery and then for it turning out to be a non tilt slide.

I understand that most places like AA/ RAC do not have many tilt & slide trucks in their fleet so you may have to wait a little longer.

On another note; hope you\'re doing well mate. Long time no see.

Ah!

Thanks for the tip Freddy mate!  That makes sense to just ask for a tilt and slide from the of.  Suppose you just have to be a bit firm with the call centre staff, lol!

Me and the car are keeping well too matey.  Shes off the road at the mo getting road legal for MOT time!  Hope things are good your end too!:)

Will have to catch up at an event this year!

*thread hijack alert*

you may have seen me, my parents live over wyre, and I was up for a couple of weeks over xmas. will be up at easter for a couple of weeks as well. Then once I go to sea in May (depending on my boats program) I will have to leave it in my fathers hands to give it an occasional spin so you might see it around a bit more often!

Mine required a specialist truck when it was trailered to Carls a few weeks back. Couldn\'t get it on the first truck they bought round, had to wait over an hour while they went to fetch one that would go lower. I\'ve probably got similar clearance, or lack of, to you Alex.
