DR JOSH Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) I have to hit my driveway at about 25kmh in the DR, then jump on the brakes before I hit any other cars. If I go any slower it it lifts a wheel and I get stuck, end up having to push my car. Really not good for my brand new diff either Edited May 3, 2009 by DR JOSH Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/268086-my-driveway/page/2/#findComment-4570774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyRS4 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 i hate my driveway.Apart from it being uneven bricks it has a power pole about 30cm from the driveway on the driverside pulling in , which results in some epic 3 wheeling action as my suspension is stiff as shit and this is how it is when i reverse it in Yeah ... I remember backing my Stagea up your driveway ... 3 point turn and angled to the road just to get up there My driveway is a little tricky, but I got it worked out.

Thomasino Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Carl do you hold up much traffic trying to get in, living on a main road? My drive is pretty flat, and the gutter section is relatively new and very wide. Also stock suspension allows me to tackle much larger inclines Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/268086-my-driveway/page/2/#findComment-4573114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky88 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 show me the legislation that states that it is an illegal activity to spray paint in the open air. Spray Painting/Hobbies If you undertake an activity that may generate dust, chemical spray or fumes you are required to meet your general environmental duty.Do not: Use spray paint in a manner which causes the paint spray to drift onto a neighbour’s property or public land. Use organic solvents resulting in significant vapour emissions onto a neighbour’s property or public land. If you need to touch up small areas with spray paint this should be done in your garage with the doors closed. Large spray painting jobs should be conducted in properly constructed spray booths.
