Oh, those are really nice, Paul.... How does one raise the front end once the
car is on them?

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!
