  1. Was on our way back from a day out.

    We had been to Flatford Mill in Suffolk and then Frinton On Sea.

    Was driving along A120 past Coggeshall. We were doing about 60, the road all of a sudden undulates. Can't say I have ever noticed it in any of my cars but it's a 300 yd long stretch that is up and down and full of wheel sized dips (not pot holes).

    Anyway bus is rocking due to bumps and as we bounce down I'm losing control and heading for the kerb. The kerb is made from those wedged shaped kerbstonesand I though Marmite !!!!!!

    Luckily I managed to lift off everything and gain control. Worst thing was that sun was also low in the sky, BIG and right in my eyes.

    Oh well, at least I know now. Lesson learnt. But why the f*** don't our councils look after our roads properly ? It's a 60mph A road FFS !
     
  2. Gas filled dampers and an uprated roll bar kit will keep her more steady on the road

    Well done you for keeping it all together.
     
  4. Seriously thought we were going to roll over for a split second

    As Paradox says and I'd be checking the shocks. Glad you gained control.
     
  6. She's due for a service soon and an MOT. I will get her checked.
     
  7. I know the stretch you mean, has a nasty effect on trailers as well!
