well its on axle stands and has ramps there make it look like its on them to make the car look safer, if it was just on axle stands then i would have been reported, people around here like to make a fuss, they are old and have nothing better to do.

then say, it wont..

unless a small child can move an axel stand with half a ton of pressure on it

and besides there is 2

and if somehow magically they both fell down, the car would land on the ramps, that i have there.

and if somehow they also collapsed, from the car falling..0ft onto them i will personally pay for any injuries my self, as the chances of that happerning are 1 in a 90million

stick you head up high and walk off.

job done car stays were it is..

and parents shold know better then to let there children play football around cars!

well it looks like iv been stuffed again, the people that were going to send me the rack have just phoned to tel me that the it has been damaged Mad

why is it i cant get hold of one of these, i would go for a new one but its far to expensive for what it is, gsf want £150+vat+postage, infinicar want £70+vat+postage which i think is crap for a second hand rack.

Well here is a very small update, i finaly got a rack after 5 attempts Shocked
its not in the best condition but there's no sign of any leaks so it should be fine, it will need new track rod ends, and also needs a little repair to the gator
