Hi all

I need to get some photos of the chassis on my TVR (ASAP)and was wondering if anybody could let me use their ramp for literally 10 minutes?
I'm happy to donate to the tea fund but in this age of Elf n Saftey I would imagine lots of garages might be reluctant to let joe public stand under a ramp, if you know what I mean?
Was hoping to find somewhere in Bristol........any takers?......please, please, please.whistle

Most tyre places will allow it, try National or F1.

Sorted!
A friendly local independent garage let me use their ramp this afternoon, in exchange for some tea fund money.
Nice guys actually, if your reading this, many many thanks!

Do "rent a ramp " type places still exist and are there any in the SW? I need to do a few jobs on my snotter that I can't do on the driveway!

I don't actually know, its a good idea though and I would use a local one if such a thing existed.
There must be thousands of square feet of empty industrial units in Bristol, it would make good a business I'm sure?

Didn't Elf'n'Saftey kill this idea off?
