Not the place for this topic, but I’ll add my bit, the minor roads in Kent are appalling, recently travelled up to Norfolk and the difference was markedly better.
It’s not easy on on Ruby but far better than with the MGF.
This failed an MOT due to “damage” to the inside walls of all four tyres caused by travelling over too many
ridiculously high pyramid speed calming bumps. I never travelled over these at any speed as the car having little ground clearance would bottom and do untold damage if I did.
The worrying aspect is that I would never have known anything about this problem with the tyres without the MOT.
When all four tyres were replaced, after less than 3 years and just a few thousand miles service, the man in the village showed me a number of splits on the inside walls caused by the side walls being pinched against the inner edge of the wheels riding over the slopping edges of the pyramid humps.
There are a number of local routes now that are simply out of bounds for the MGF, even tho’ I have the suspension set slightly higher than the upper limits.
Rant over sorry
