Just bought a fold up creeper (thing you lay on and scoot about under a car for 11.99 of our earth pounds - absolutely bloody marvelous - always wanted one but they normally start at £50
Rubberised wheels with 360 deg rotation padded back and head rest
Bloody well made and solid too
Once you've had one you'll never go back to lying on the ground again
Very similar to
only fold up and the one above retails at £60 plus vat
It would be well worth your while buying one from an Aldi Store near whereever you are before the stocks all go!!!!
ALDI STORE LOCATOR
Of course if you don't do any work on your own cars it will be off little interest to ya

Good find!
I'll get one of them for when using the ramps at work isn't possible!

well spotted, can get some good bargains at aldi!
been after one of these for a while, even though space under the polo is somewhat limited!
what i need next are some ramps that I can actually drive onto!

Aldi and Lidl, german retail gods of highly unlikely bargain specials
seeing as i'm on my way out to exchange something at halfords i might pop into the brand spanking new aldi that's half a mile up from there and see if they have any left
... creeper = molto usefulness

Hmmmmm - need to take a picture of something that would help you in this respect......
I had these ramp extenders made up for the same reason
Edited to add the picture

It's surface rust. Bstardchild isn't that stupid to drive onto rotten ramps!

Seriously tho Toxxin - I can even get the LC up the ramp with those extenders and that has a huge front overhang so the spoiler will hit a normal ramp even before the wheels have started up it.....
I got a guy I know to knock em up materials and his time came to about £30 all in - cheap and they hang on the wall next to my two sets of ramps

just wondering dude --- this aldi one --- what's it like in comparison to the Machine Mart ones? Checked out their website and creepers popped up starting from about fifteen quid or so...
