parking on grass
joolsmi16 - 21/5/10 at 09:01 PM

Hi all, as anyone any advise for parking on grass.. I would like to park my f27 on the front lawn and not on the road.

Only the rear nearside wheel meets the grass but on damp days it spins so any ideas on something I can put down to stop the spinning.

I have seen got a sample of this product item no. 200472879413 just looking for cheaper method.

Cheers

Jools

Paving slab?

You can buy a plastic waffle type modular system that you put UNDER the grass, so that when you drive on it, you dont sink or wheelspin.
Lots of work though.

Not sure I would want to park the car on grass for a long time, tends to stay damp humid under??? Not good for rust etc..

No practical experience of this; might be o.k....

Its only for the summer months then its keeped in storage.. LSD would be the ideal, the other product may be the way to go I do like the grasscrete..

Thanks

LSD? what so the grass starts talking to you and you can discuss it with the grass?

You can get paving slabs that are full of holes that the grass grows through.

A friend cut the bottoms out of bread trays (the large shallow stacking ones) and put them on his lawn then drove back and forward over then to press them into the grass. Grass grows through the holes but the car doesn't sink in or wear it away.

You could just get a large mat and put it down before parking and pick it up when you go out, It will damage the grass but if your car is normally there it won't make much difference.

You could put nails through your tires (Points outwards) and use then like golf shoes.

Tarmac??

On a more serious note - i think you'll end up killing the grass over time and make the garden look a state. The missus wont be best pleased. Cant see you'd really need anything other than a gentle right foot though to actually get moving on wet grass. My old car would pull away at tickover in 2nd with a bit of clutch control if needed - not that its especially good for the clutch

^^^ That sort of thing is ideal but it really wants to go down before the grass or you have to fill it and seed it over the existing lawn
