I normally store my mini's in the shed in gear and with the handbrake off (so it doesn't seize on) but have always used whatever I could scrounge for wheel chock's . I was in Supercheap the other day and found these little folding ones , around $10 a pair from memory (I think $8.??? but say around $10) . So far they seem good and fit a lot easier and closer under the wheel than the silent policeman and airport refuelling lid I was using

Look out for the lizards!

I use a similar set I picked up from kmart, they work well and fold away neatly when not in use.

Datto 180B's used to come standard with them, but they were Orange.

The chock's that is, not the Lizards.

It looks like one of them squashed and then petrified garage lizards. I wish I lived somewhere warm enough for garage lizards..

All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

He's alive actually Mick , that one's Roger , he lives down there with about 300 of his relatives who keep appearing when I move things . They live well off the occasional cockroach incursion (don't scoff , I saw three of them gang up on a roach once while I was on the garage creeper under the fang , you try to laugh when you have a greasy sump an inch above your chest and a writhing mass of legs and tails nearby) though they are still mourning their losses from the great blue tongue attack of 06 .

I like your old wheel chocks. That airport refuelling lid looks like one I've blown across the run bay by aircraft engine at take off power. Great frisbee.

whats wrong with a piece of wood?

You of all people should realise that a block of wood is too normal , a refueling point lid swiped from an international airport , or a silent cop is much better . A folding chock is even better because it's harder to stub your toe on .

Those choc's are really good. I got two sets from Repco a while back for $7.99 a set. Worth it IMO.
