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!
