I have one Mate, as long as it is only for a few days as hopefully I'll be needing it soon to remove the engine from my Omega. The last time I borrowed it to some-one from the tinternet it took around 3 months to find it's way home!

definatly not, i regret not moving to preston years ago when i split from my x but my kids were only 9 and 6 then and couldnt bear not being able to see them all the time. was seeing a nice nurse for 4 months up therewhile working and made a lot of friends there. once tom goes in the RAF in 2 years i shall move away to dorset ready for my retirement, if i make the 75 yr retirement age

I could do with this back now, Nick, I reckon it's time to try shift the shell I have sitting on my drive. Is your vehicle back on the road yet? If not any chance you could measure the hoist and I'll see if it will fit in to the back of my Vectra, if not I guess I'll have to borrow my Mates van again, could do without having to pay him diesel money though, to be honest...

Please get in touch, cheers.
