I confess to a slight chuckle when i read the post Robert and i dont know
if
the weight per se would cause the problem - it might be just the obdurate
nature of the car deciding you two were a bit too much to deal with - !
If its any consolation I had a friend of mine of similar weight in the 69
last summer and and managed to remove the muffler going over what is
usually a clear kerb!!
Sorry to be facetious but you gave me a smile on an otherwise dreary
monday!
