Them rabbits make a real mess of fibre glass spoilers. A rather silly rabbit obliterated my front spoiler even when I was travelling at a legal speed.

Got any pics of what you are driving at the moment??

P.s. what you doing for Rod (if you can share)??

Im actually a vegas boy (Rotorua) and had to move to Auckland to get a decent Tech job. I have been offered work in Silconwelly but the roads there are crap and it would kill my car. Love your Inet though, and the comunitie spirit in the tech sector

Ha! As soon as you started explaining why you take public transport, i knew you must be from Auckland.

Sure, I am a car guy, and a low center of gravity on a car makes the handling better (as long as you don’t screw up the suspension geometry or steering). So When I built my other car I went through the suspension and changed the springs to shorter and stiffer ones to get a lower center of gravity. Also my body kit front spoiler is just low enough that I cant go over sharp inclines, that parking buildings have on their ramps up to other levels. Also problematic are speed humps, Opossums, rabbits, small children…… Impractical I know, but makes for fun open road driving

Can you explain “have a car but it is too low to park in parking buildings”

In the USA, we have cars that are too big or too high to park in a parking garage, but I’ve not heard of cars that are too low.
