Not sure, I am scared of them all. While we are at it can you please post a picture of where I can place the jack stands under the front and rear wheel arch areas safely [not the jack points but close to the inside of the wheels - the wishbone area, etc? Cheers.

I think if Tony had one of those in the garage, the danger would be from his missus...
Afraid I've got the T-shirt Gaz.:oops: Don't fit me any more though.

No one has even gotten close yet, but all will be revealed at the weekend. There is another picture in the series (hint) but that would give it away. Clue is, it's nothing like what you have seen, it is really scary at our place, it must be!

Tony, I would tidy up, most accidents in the work place are caused by slips, trips and falls, and in your place, the out come would also be loss of limb or decapitation. The most dangerous thing in your place at the moment is complacency...

On a lighter note, looking forward to the last picture...

Agree Rich, it's a S**t hole, but it's our S**t hole. Joking aside I'm sick to the back teeth of lazy people who don't/won't clean up after themselves so I just keep my little corner clean and tidy and try not to stray.

Tony.

I wouldn't even consider tackling anything in my shop without a week of straightening up. My dear wife, while I was out of commission with the stomach issues, was taking half of whatever she thought was in her way of happiness in our house and getting my son to put it in the shop. I wouldn't even be able to get my motorcycle out if I wanted to. It's over 1500 sqft and there's literally no floor open. And there's only two cars and two bikes in it. Don't know what the woman thinks I'm going to do with it all. JIM

It is an inanimate object though.

When I was first working delivering technical comms engineering training courses there were no women on the courses. This was in the early 90's. Some years later as girls were starting to get into engineering they had to be twice as good as the men to be considered half as good. When I left it was much more usual to have girls on courses and were far more accepted by the blokes. Kept the swearing down as well:)
