Mine, and the jack and axle stands were fine on my old knackered tarmac
drive as they just dug in. But I'm not allowed to use them on the new
tarmac drive, and the ramps skid on the smooth painted floor of the
(double-length, single-width) garage. I have a section of about a yard of
rougher concrete where they can be used but it is in the narrow garage
entrance with little room to squeeze past the car in that location, and it
was a pain servicing three cars this year. So I bought a set of full-length
ramps at a fraction of their original price from a pal of a pal who has
invested in a four-post hoist - http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/ramps.htm
These are QwikLift, who I noticed went out of business immediately after I
committed to buy them, hope it wasn't for safety issues!
