What's cool for the D2?
My birthday is coming up and the wife and kids are asking what I want - and I have no idea.
So, ideas please, for the D2, the garage, the workshop. And no hydraulic lifts or other mega-bucks bits of kit!

How do you do oil changes and other work under the car?
Maybe a set of Roll-ups for easy oil changes? Or Race Ramps but they are pricey. http://raceramp.co.uk/ Lightweight rotors to go that little bit faster? (Getting a bit pricey now) (and no more re-painting brake hubs, on the front at least) https://jhmotorsports.com/shop/catal...-up-p-254.html Custom exhaust? I know I know that's being a bit silly now.

What are roll ups?
The other stuff is, indeed, a bit pricey. Don't want SWMBO to know what car stuff costs!

They are like small race ramps, further down the page. They are a bit cheaper and lift the car 4", I found it sufficient for various things such as oil changes, inspecting the subframe, changing the reverse light switch, etc.
Its nice because you just drive up them, no need to use a jack or anything.

So why not something like this at a fraction of the price?

Hmm, now that's a possibility. Do they affect the wheel balance (the tyre pressure monitors, that is)?
