OUCH indeed.

thats one reason we ended up buying a tilting trailer. ok they cost quite a bit more but so much easier & safer to use.

I was working for Maranello many moons ago and they had a car on a ramp 5" up (might have been a 365BB or 328 )
This was not a four poster but a drive on ramp. anyway the mechanic leaned in and started it up BUT it was in gear
Oooops !!
Front wheels landed on a bench in front :shock:
