Are you tired of getting elbow rash everytime you need to fix something under your car???

Maybe you're looking for an easier way to empty your fuel tank???

Have you got a bad back... and worried about insurance spies catching you in an awkward position???

Is a 2 post hoist almost impossible to find in your area??

Or are you too bloody lazy to get down to the car... and would rather have the car come up to you???

Well, you need not ever worry about bending over to remove your rear subframe or muffler.... because our lazy European friends are quite happy to show you how they do it.....

INTRODUCING>>> the "Cant-be-farked".

Now, whenever you or somebody else wants you to work on the lower part of your mini, you can happily point across the shed to your best worksop tool and say with a smile.... "Cant-be-farked"

"Cant-be-farked"..... already in a store near you. :wink:

Dont know about you guys... but I might give this one a miss..... I hope that mini is in first gear :shock:

I actually like that paint job. It's different, but kinda cool.

Imagine the headlines: "Killer Mini Kills Idiot in Backyard Crush"

And if it didn't kill you, imagine the damage it would do to your Mini's ass...

i suppose it would be the way to get every last drop out when changing the oil but it still dont help when you want to get to the plugs you still have to bend down.

I already have one and opted for a gantry arm in my workshop much nicer to work with and only 40mins to take motor out and put onto the bench.

you drive on them, and at a point of centre of balance they tip forward

Yep... that is the shed that was burnt to the ground... the ramps and the crane were taken by that fire too. The mini with the yellow sides was elsewhere at the time of the fire.

And I have no idea why he has that mini being held up by its balls with the crane....

3 words. CRAZY DUTCH BASTARD.

Um... I think he's dutch :?

It looks like a series of "before" photos, although I get the feeling that they didn't work under it like that, but purely for a kinda funny photo.

The colour scheme looks like the wicker mini driven by Peter Sellers, although without the wicker effect on the yellow bits. Retro cool, as cars don't come out in two-tone any more.
