Or play left handed.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Small problem...I didn't play the violin before.
Re: Axle stand warning
You could take it up, its safer than working on a car

The Day of the Jackall, that's what you need. Seriously, an MG Y type jackall system.

Re: Axle stand warning
I use axle stand often. I always shake car sideways before even considering getting under it ( just in case it isn't supported correctly or weight is off balance.
I tend to use jack where possible 'locked' in lift position but just touching car not load bearing. or and sometimes as well as any hell I have removed being placed under car near sill areas. simply to reassure myself IF? an axle stand where to suddenly fail..I may get a fright but not ( hopefully) seriously hurt.

Re: Axle stand warning
I have 4 axle stands and a pair of car ramps. The consensus is if you are working with stands have a fall back position, which for me will be the ramps under the middle of the car so even if 1 or 2 of the stands let go you still have a fighting chance of being able to sort out the problem yourself and walk way from it.

Yeah, 'cos that's the main reason for anyone to be searching for images of her on the web!Cambronne wrote:....We mustn't forget Sharon Corr, who plays a mean fiddle
Damn, she's one geet fit burd very pretty young(ish) woman and fortunately, this safety-related thread remains free of images to support that claim as I couldn't find one single photo in which she was, erm, "dressed against the cold.."
Indeed so. I have a useful collection of old railway sleepers for much the same purpose though nowadays, as getting underneath a car myself on a regular basis isn't such fun as it once was, I find that paying someone to come and help is the way forward. My mate - whose mobile workshop is almost better equipped than the state-of-the-art student facilities at work - uses airbags to lift a vehicle, then puts substantial steel structures under there and lets a little air out of the bags so the object car is supported as solidly as it possibly could be outside of a properly equipped workshop.megadethmaniac wrote:I have 4 axle stands and a pair of car ramps.

Now if we could get him to take such comprehensive precautions against fire, everything would be just grand, and Les wouldn't have the crusty bits all over his arms, chest and head.
