ahhh, maybe this is the newbie version of VAT free.

Maybe once I've actually bought something I'll get the 'real' invites  :y

Jack & Stands are 1st on the list, prob get a few other bits as well, anyone got the clarke torque wrench?

Not a fan of their stands - they do not really fit chassis rails too well.

Went to a VAT free evening last week. Why don't they have either trolleys or baskets in the store? By the time I'd picked up a couple of bottles of welding gas, a petrol strimmer, a sack trolley and a bench grinder my arms were about to fall off! Couldn't carry anything else.

I'd dreading the next one because I might remember to take my own basket and then I'll spend a fskng fortune!  :o

I totally agree. I bought some, and they are now heading to the bin. Although they seem to support the car OK, they give me no faith what-so-ever.

I've got some old Paddy Hopkirk ones that are superb. Really stable. Got some newer ones too, I think just basic ones from Halfrauds although I can't remember the make. Will check tonight.

We had a trouser browner at the Tidworth cam belt party where some RAC folding ones suffered rivets pulling through  :o so probably best to avoid those, or anything that's not welded together, IMHO.
