Dropped a jack on my knuckles. lumped up for weeks! but one of them. my legs had gone numb from lack of blood flow!


Spitfire :cool:

Yeh cool as funk. sounds gorgeous. rebuilt a new engine for it and going to swap it over soon. why we bought the engine crane, but nova was good for testing it on! :thumb:

I wouldn't be without my crane now, use it for not only lifting engines but whole ends of cars (quicker than using the jack)
