Jack under the curvy tube. That pivots up so the jack can get under it to
raise, then down so the car can drive on and off over it.  From the angle of
the last one it looks like it would pass over it anyway, but I haven't tried
that!

  Oh, those are really nice, Paul.... How does one raise the front end once
the car is on them?

  Mine, and the jack and axle stands were fine on my old knackered tarmac
drive as they just dug in.  But I'm not allowed to use them on the new tarmac
drive, and the ramps skid on the smooth painted floor of the (double-length,
single-width) garage.  I have a section of about a yard of rougher concrete
where they can be used but it is in the narrow garage entrance with little
room to squeeze past the car in that location, and it was a pain servicing
three cars this year.  So I bought a set of full-length ramps at a fraction of
their original price from a pal of a pal who has invested in a four-post hoist

  These are QwikLift, who I noticed went out of business immediately after I
committed to buy them, hope it wasn't for safety issues!
