You do know you have to write some letters in a field, wait 45 seconds, close a pop-up window etc... before you can watch it, right?

It works for me!

Nekkie, Yeah, I know... Very Happy

Just out of habit I guess... I always ride with a helmet. And it looks really stylish too. Cool

So, Frenchie, when are you coming down to Japan? We'll be moving there in a couple of months... and you are soooo very welcome to come and stay in our apartment the size of four tatami-mats... A bientôt!

NoPidy, That extra-special wheel... Because, you know, if we had used one of the four ones we already had we wouldn't have been able to drive home. Smash

It didn't fit at first so we had to drill up the holes a bit, though...

jalvemo, thats one of the best ideas for a cheap winch ive ever seen,
all i have though is my freinds car and i dont think he'd risk taking off a tire just to whinch, u think it could work with the tire on some how?

SoFloSkater, just get a rim that fits from a wreck, you probably wont even pay for it. then swap it on when you winch Wink

SoFloSkater, I guess you could put an extra rim outside the normal tire If your wheel bolts are that long.

But If you get the gudiense wrong I guess you can get the line tangeld up in the cars braking system. Use a thin line, my line can only handle 500kg. And that line will easely break if it tangles up (witch is the purpose). So always bring a knife so you can cut yourself lose if you f. up. Razz

Maria, Ok, i figured a jack wouldn't be stable enough but I was clueless on what you guys used.

NoPidy, I guess those trestle-thingies are made for repairing stuff underneath the car and do not hold steadily enough to prevent the car from moving... Just put heaps of stuff underneath, whatever you can find in your back yard......
