When most places say it won't fit on the ramp they actually mean "we can't be arsed to put it on the ramp".

i think the garage i go 2 must have old school ramps, wen i first did my collies they wer on the bottom of the threads and i stuggled to get it to my local tyre centre to have the tracking done, wen i got their it went on their ramps piece of piss, and afteri had the tracking done i rased it like 50mm now i go 2 my local garage for a check before mot and they struggle to get it on theirs

use a diff garage then with better acess

All it takes is some planks of wood!

I'm sure a lot of places might struggle to get an Enzo on to the ramps, but does that mean it can't pass an MOT???

Most MOT places don't actually know all the regualtions anyway. Put my other half's thru with no lights and they said it was a fail.....told them to call VOSA and they soon changed their mind!!

had my mot on monday.

i left the car with them as couldnt afford to take time off work.

they only just got it onto the ramp, it all passed etc, but then they couldnt get it off.

they did say it took 4 of them lifting diff bits of the car as 1 drove it forward slow.

which made me laugh tbh.

but yeah, supercars are that low, so there cant be any rules and regs on height.

becuase its been lowered they have a moan, yet they wouldnt moan if they was doing an mot of a gallardo or a spider or something which is inches off the ground.

come MOT time for me I'm gonna pop the garage first and have a look at their ramps as i dont fancy having a phone call to let me know i no longer have a front bumper attached to the car
