It is always sad to see our old cars leave the nest.

foam ramp replacement

Thinking a Ferrari F355 would make a nice addition to the harem.

I suggest you get a set of Race Ramps RR-RAK-5 (off amzn) to replace those 40lb each steel ramp that will break yr toe one day. The RR are dense foam and weigh 10lbs - was the best add-on I got for my Benq lift. Also I got a full set of plastic drip trays so my '69 280SL does not drip on my DB9

Yea you're right. I wish I would have opted for the aluminum ramps the manufacturer offers. I did get the drip trays too though as well as the trolly jack. The jack has been very useful.
