I went to a clinic in a long bleak mews in Kensal Rise to get something for my granddaughter earlier today. The mews has large speed bumps and steep camber, with gutters four feet out from the buildings and a steep upslope to the buildings on the other side of them. I left the car diagonally parked nose to wall. When I came back I saw to my surprise that the n/s rear wheel was eight or nine inches off the ground, while the o/s one had its spring under extreme compression.
Who needs offroad when they've got North London?
One of my proudest moments as a minicab driver in the seventies was the accusing cry from a colleague: 'I seen you on FREE WHEELS at Vauxhall Cross yesterday!' But that was different of course.

What caused that then?

Thats quite a large expanse of air under the back wheel, the shocker or other low part of the rear suspender wasn't resting on the road preventing the wheel dropping far enough to reach land?
Being a country bumpkin now AC you have a good excuse for getting something more suitable for the great wen's road surfaces for visits.
