    Went to a wee shop today to pick up some new toys for the MINI Pit Crew....

    should make the changing of the wheels easier and faster.

    a nice 2 tonne Garage Trolley jack (and it feels like it weights 2 tonne also )









    and a nice air impact wrench for the nuts... (goes nicely with dad's air compressor..)




    Happy Boy. :approve::approve::approve::approve::approve::appr ove::approve::approve::approve:

    oh YESSSSSSS, just trying to decide what rubber to put on them... have narrowed it down to Avon ZZ3 or Toyo Proxes (T1R) :approve::approve:

    gave them a wash last night (when Scottiecoop arrived!) just need to give them a polish and a few coats of wax before I package them away...

    what make is your jack. Don't buy anything more until we have emptied our garage.

    Craig I know you don't need a woman telling you about tools and stuff but watch that impact gun on your alloys to easy to damage them:(
