Bastards. Dont know how bad your drive is, but have you though about putting big planks of plywood down? At least then it'll level it out plus raise the car off the floor a little to stop it scrapping

. If it does still scrape it'll wear the wood, not the car

Think i know what you mean. You can just about see it in the pic. the garage looks lower than the road is. could you not make some wooden ramps to smooth out the dip?

I can see the problem now. Fair enough about getting the drive done, but im just thinking of a quick fix for now to keep the car off the road. The plywood, or some thick chipboard at the top of the drive about an inch thick should do it i'd have though.

I fancied the speed 8s but they only go upto 17s from wat i've seen..so its either gonna be the 10s or the pace rims...pace marginally winning i thinkn lol

yes thats wot i meant speed 8

yes they are 18 if i were to get another set id go to 17 to be honest and yes the tyres are 215/35

speed 8 ONLY come in 4 stud
speed 10 ONLY come in 5 stud

I remember trying to get my Punto down that drive, when I left it there for my first trip to Scottyland. That was a no go & was left bumped up on the pavement

I had good reason to be worried about it, it would seem

Punto didn't even have locking wheel nuts either

I suggest definately gettin it on that drive...possibly with a big movement activated sercurity light!!

thing is i dont live in a pikey area its really quiet on here

its just twats passin probably but deffo gonna have to sort me drive i was gonna wait til better weather and level it but looks like il have to get it done sooner

they maybe tried to take mine after but realised they were no wheels

my cars up on axle stands and the wheels are in the house at the moment, but i've blocked access off to my driveway for the time being while the engine is on the floor so if anyone was to try and nick it they'd have to lift it 10feet in the air, and if they do that then they deserve to take it
