Once that is complete I shall be converting it into a coffee table for home
Didn't come in the post.. I collected but still awesome.
New 2.5 ton on the left, old one on the right.
Heavy but still lighter than most "normal" jacks. Easy to pick up still, better wheels too, rolls much better. Lifts faster too. Well worth the £130.
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
Costco have got the Ally Arcan ones back in stock, gone up in price a bit but still only £110. Cracking jack for the money, I paid £89 for mine.

Nice, we looked in to them, but unless your a paid up member you cant even see on their web site. Plus driving an hour each way.. Machine mart vat off Sunday, 10mins away was a winner winner.

Picked these up tonight.
A tidy early Mk1 bonnett..
NOS Mk1 tailgate, been primered but unused AFAIK
Bought one of these for the wifes BMW summer tyres to store them whilst her winters are on
Seems to be built really well and a bargain for £20!
Ordered some of these through work aswell for £19 a set.

Why? They seem kinda pointless
(┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐)
To protect them whilst in storage as they will be in the garage so they will get covered in dust and get knocked about. Rubber naturally deteriorates with age and they can start to crack(I have 10 year old Michelin Pilot Sports on my 888 and they are now cracking quite badly) so due to the wife doing low mileage and a set of runflat tyres costing near £800 a set, if a set of covers extends their life then I will be happy. Plus they make them easier to move when I take them back to work when they are fitted.

Winter tyres must be the biggest con going ATM
Really can't see the point in it all tbh, just seems as complete waste of time and cash to me
Tyre shops and manufacturers must be laughing all the way to the bank
It's not like they've made rubber suddenly stick to ice
Utter crap, Winter tyres are well worth it. Why would most European countries use them and in some countries the use be compulsary with fines for not fitting them!

If you have ever driven a BMW or other rear wheel drive in the snow on summer tyres you would know. That is the problem with this country, we never prepare for bad weather and then we moan when it snows and blame everyone else instead of ourselvs when the country grinds to a halt. Other countries manage that experience worse weather than us because they are prepared.
I have paid £400 for a set of new Pirelli winter runflats and delivery mileage genuine BMW alloys. The ame set from BMW would be over £1000! I could use these for 2-3 winter and still sell them for a profit. Part worn sets are fetching over £500 on Ebay!
Winter tyre are made of a different compound which stays soft below 7 Degrees Celcius where summer tyre rubber starts to go hard. They also have a different tread pattern with Sipes to help grip in the snow better and are better at dispersing water.
I would rather pay out £400 and know my missus stands a better chance of controlling her car in the bad weather.
