What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Two questions, Dennis on your MGF. You are quite right about bottoming going over what are known as "Berlin Cushions" - it is best to avoid trying to straddle them but to go over them (slowly) with just the offside or nearside wheels (dependant on the road and traffic layout).
However... has your MGF had the spheres regassed? If not it will ride like a skateboard. There is a guy in Telford that regasses them. See HERE
I have used them and they are really good.

Secondly, is the ride height correct? If it's too low then it won't make matters any easier. Proper height should be 368mm when measured from centre of the front wheel to the top of the wheel arch. If it's any lower than around 350mm then it'll need pumping, unless the car's got lowering pins fitted.

Sorry guys for the hijack.
