Reply to "Lifts and ramps"

The back story to that scissor lift is, Brain and I would message back and forth re: his beautiful IM  as seen in the link photos, the lift was in a beautiful large custom garage in Hilton Head SC. The sole purpose of the lift was so that he didn't have to bend over to wax the lower portion of the IM ...I got a message from Brian to call him, on the phone he asked about my then new home shop then, gifts... me the scissor lift ! Drove to SC the next AM arriving at the community gate house I was escorted to Brian's huge home Castle.  If took some time for me by myself to get the lift up onto my trailer w/o making a mark on his perfect garage floor all this while Brian observed while sipping on a goblet size martini. Before I left he asked if I wanted to se his new toy ... a huge boat lock to raise and lower his large boat with the tide.  That lift served me for 9 or so years from speedsters to an extend cab Ford F150 .  It has been in Bill Drayer's home shop for 3 years now.
