sweet  :cool: :cool:

now you'll be worrying whenever your car needs a service or some new tyres etc, because it will ground out on the front unless the ramp is totally flat or you manage to reverse it onto a 4 poster like we did with mine when it had a service, it nearly got stuck on there other ramp  :rolleyes:

looks sweet!!

you might find it a  struggle to get a trolley jack under it too now.  i know we struggle, one person has to lift the shell whilst someone else fires the jack under!!  either that or drive it onto a piece of wood.

mines going back standard tomorrow then up for sale :(
