This is the effect on our archaic 1909 suspension system of hitting one of Devon's finest at, perhaps, 15 - 20 mph. We have a series of holes, ruts and craters across one of our busy "B" roads. They are utterly unavoidable (unless you prefer a head-on with traffic in the opposing lane), and have been reported to Devon Highways up to 35 times, by different people, over the last few weeks. Still they go unrepaired. The whole stretch of road is a patchwork of bodged repairs, many of which have rapidly turned into far worse craters, sometimes within days. The Roadster will now have to be trailered to Berrybrook for investigation and repair. Unfortunately it looks as though simply replacing the snapped tie rod may not be enough, as evidenced by the sideways displacement of the two broken sections. Thanks DCC!
