MogLite Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 MogLite no longer fits in the garage. Therefore any fab jobs that need to be done on the vehicle - have to be done outside. What an utter PITA, dragging welders and extension leads around, and then having to put it all away again. MogLite would have taken 10 years to build on a driveway and would have been utter cr@p.

Daan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 my old solution was 2 old rims, gave some lovely white stripes on the concrete-but this was a hired house. My newly bought house only requires a block of concrete in the back and myself in the drivers seat to clear. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 well i guess its easier to fall into after a session in the pub than it would be with real tyres on. is the speedo correct on those tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
