[Mgs] car jack question

[Paul Hunt]

Be warned!  These scissors jacks may not have a high enough lift to get 
under something with a flat tyre, as well as lift it high enough to get the 
wheel off and another on - BT, DT!  I was pondering using the spare as a 
temporary support while I lowered the jack and used it in another position 
to get more lift when another MGB happened to go past the end of the road 
and we used his jack instead.  I now carry a small hydraulic 'bottle' jack 
as well as the scissors.
