Stihl are a sleekit bunch. They sell the machine but all the other bits are extras. Eg: you buy a chainsaw you get the actual machine but the guide bar and chain have to be bought separately..expensive way to buy kit. (Maybe still got a sad on...

We had a Rover 420 with one in, one of the very few they made with "fly-by-wire" in. Fast as flip and economical too. I loved it, then we gave it to our son in law and he loved it too, until some A hole rear ended his trailer and destroyed the...

the engine is a T16, The Rover T16 engine, a development of the M16, was used in a variety of Rover vehicles, including the Rover 820, 200/400/600 series, and 800 series, as well as limited-run models like the 220/420 GTi and GSi trims. It was...

Off to Lavaur tomoz for the show "Rock and Cars" which is always fun. Bizarrely the frogs can't get enough of yank wheels. Good music from the 50s and 60s, booze, food... should be good. Then Sunday the Round Table are doing a thing up at the...

My 50 year old ramps are too steep for modern cars. Cars had more clearance at the front end back then, unlike moderns which have noses that almost touch the ground. Not found anything with a search, that will suit my needs. Like you I think a...

I use lengths of timber to extend the ramp for smaller vehicles Saw ramps on line but their depot isn't far from me so went there and got some discount.

TBH I have never had much luck with drivin onto them, so I tend to jack the vehicle up and put the ramps under them, or use axle stands. I'd have the same problem with W's Pluriel.

I like your ramps. Where did you get them? I need something like those but with a shallower ramp to get under the front of modern cars (like 'er indoors corsa and dottirs focus).

They wouldn't take it then?? 😁
