Car ramps

Has anyone seen these before? :idea:

Ebay link
Adjustable car ramps

Few others available too

Look expensive but practical as I always seem to end up having the trolley jack where I need to put the axle stand :doh:
I used to own this Calibra...
I now own this one.

I was looking at these at the show over the weekend they look good but I couldn't justify spending that on a set of ramps

Presumably they can be raised after the car has been driven on?
Most ramps I have seen are too steep for modern cars, especially those which have body kits or have been lowered, or both.

Yes they can. Drive on, lift up, place axle stands, and lower. The ramps are about 4 -5 inches high when collapsed.
