    Turned my S2 into a rollerskate!

    I went out and bought a pair of these 'dollies' today. It enables me to 'push' the car sideways into the corner of my garage (quite a strange sight).
    Took me a while to find somewhere to buy them (machine mart) but they're quite good.
    Anyway, as I found it difficult to find some, thought I'd post this up should anyone be after a similar thing.

    They're well built and can handle 500kg each.

      Excellent find Dan.

      Presumably you have to jack the car up on to them and then off again?

      Cheers,

        Yeah, the tyres need to be about 4" clear of the floor. Still requires a bit of effort to push the car but I attribute that to the "substantial mass" of the S2.

        Bought myself a new heavy duty jack after reading the thread on here about people's experiences. Made the whole process much simpler. Took about 10 mins to move the car.

            These are the ones I bought.

            As well as the detailing bug, I'm starting to get bitten by the garage equipment bug!

            Nice and cheap
