Sounds ok to me, but you ain`t getting under it to do any work while the wheels are off are you ??? And the chocks are a good size I take it and not stood on their ends ?? I actually supported the front of mine once on two,,,,,,,, you guessed it, beer crates :shock: with a chunk of ply on, popped them under the ends of the beam. Also had wheels under him and didn`t get under either :? Suprising how stable they were

Ozziedog,,,,,,,, Famous last words and all that :lol: :roll: :lol:

Ozziedog I have 2 Stella crates but they are an invaluable part of my resto tool kit I may consider giving therm away when I eventually put some wheels on my bus!!!

Ozzie, as much as I hate to admit it , I remember the 'Corona man' - he used to deliver Corona around my way in an old van. Raspberry was my favourite - remember that ?

Can't remember what van it was but it would be too much of a coincidence for it to be an early VW panel.

If you don't settle in your new job you could become a 'Stella delivery man' but I doubt you'd make it out of your garage :lol: :lol:

 

[ozziedog]

They used to sell corona in the off licence opposite my nans where I used to go for my Sunday dinner every second Sunday which was a bit of a treat as my nan used to send me over the offy to choose either a bottle of Corona or a bottle of Tizer :shock: I used to be over there for ages trying to decide :lol: but nan would let me have a whole glass to myself with my dinner, and she wouldn`t tell me off when I pinched an extra swig when I was pouring our glasses in the pantry, she must have spotted me as I did it every time. Tried explaining this little ` luxury ' to my nephews once and they thought it was a joke but they weren`t getting the punchline :? When I told them that as a kid we didn`t have a fridge and going to my aunties and getting an ice cold glass of milk was just so dreamy,,, again they were still waiting for the punchline :roll:

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, And we used to live in a cardboard box,,,,,,, :lol: :lol:

 

[Mickey Sam]

Flash git !, we could only dream of upgrading to a cardboard box :lol:
