Re: *Official Carparks to AVOID Thread*
Yes bro, sorry, should be R Town Club (not country club). At the exit to the basement carpark, there is a huge crack that runs from the left to the right of the exit. Like a crack caused by an earthquake. Car suddenly dropped. I was there in November 2008....
...do you still see that crack when you go there now?

Re: *Official Carparks to AVOID Thread*
Biggest sphincter moving moment for me has to be the top level of Vivo car park.
Why do they do it? At the top of the up ramp, they put a speed bump. You have the front wheels go over the speed bump with the back still half way down the ramp. The middle section of the car is bound to gound even in a hummer!! Not only this, but the Vivo ramp has a strange camber and turn - my passenger side rail landed hard on the speed bump and broke
I always go to the basement now - much safer

Re: *Official Carparks to AVOID Thread*
if ur front clearance is shorter than a cigarette box...
try to avoid the Dsquare carpark at Noverna sq... especailly at the final end exit down from the carpark
also... the Goodrich wallpaper showroom.. go slow on the downram into the carpark entrance
the most dangerous one is at the famous golden mile/beach road steamboat place... where u have to go up the ram into the carpark... n the steamboat restaurant is at the basement.... AVOID AT ALL COST !!!

"Association for Rapid Speedhump Erradication" ... the sooner they get rid of them the better
BTW, some Korean guys have invented speedhumps that flatten automatically if you go over them slow enough: check this out (could only find this link):

Re: *Official Carparks to AVOID Thread*
I dont think its there now, but was there in Nov too and didnt kenna....generally I just go damn slow when I approach any hump on flat or in/out of basements.
Where I used to park in textile center was the worst, got caught there on the very 1st time, after that i had to learn to manuvere an oblique turn to get my car incident to the change in gradient between carpark ramp sloping downwards to road level at near 45 degree, so that the front overhang can be effectively shorterned when entering the turn....also had to get very near the right wall of the carpark ramp to make that left turn out...Not easy....

Re: *Official Carparks to AVOID Thread*
These ERP IU based carparks have issues reading some (not all) of the new, slimmer IU on bikes and cars alike ...
Offending Location #1 - Tampines Mall Basement Carpark
STEPS TO RESOLUTION
1) Press the horn to alert the security guard. He will liaise with the control centre.
2) You must pay an exact fee of $1 (guard will not give change)
3) Wait for his "official receipt" (he/she won't instruct the CC to open the barrier until one is issued, fussy but suck thumb and wait)
Offending Location #2 - Bras Basah Complex Basement Carpark
STEPS TO RESOLUTION
1) Press the intercom button and wait patiently.
2) If the bugger manning the intercom is sleeping, alert the vehicle behind (if any) to reverse.
3) Beware as the vehicle behind has two blind spots (poor design of carpark, no blind spot mirrors) and may jam brakes while reversing.
4) Go to the Information or Security Counter and seek help.
