Oi, that's my pride and joy you're talking about :evil: Though it is a Ford :wink:

Having been hit from behind by a young driver at a roundabout and suffered no damage other than to the bumper itself, it does do its job at protecting the car, I just don't think Ford expected it to support 150kg of Tiger :lol: :lol:

Well on this subject I have an advantage.
Being disabled my Reault Traffic van has a folding ramp to entre the van with my electric wheelchair. I easyly can drive the T1 into the van.
This is one of the very few advantages I have sitting in a wheelchair.

Anyway, a pair of ramps is a must, unless you are powerful enough to lift/push your tank up to van---very unlikely; or someone can help you to do so---not so lucky every time. :shock:

I just get my missus to lift my Tiger into the car, gives her something to do. Opps hope she doesn't read this.

I use the telscopic ramps from evil bay but the ones I bought were to narrow for the tracks, so I glued sand paper to the backs of the ramps and use them upside down.
