Hello Dolly!

It's a great film (despite Michael Crawford's terrible accent and singing) but it's also a great way of moving an immobile car around. Pictured below is half of my dolly collection:
The Beetle is currently languishing in a garage where there is barely a foot of working space on either side and that just simply isn't enough for the scale of work required. Therefore with the help of the aforementioned dollies I should be able to man handle her into my more spacious garage.

For the record, I'm choosing to ignore the "not for use on sloped surfaces (such as driveways)" warning that is prominent on the instructions. I think the slopes involved are minor enough to ignore. I mean what possible risk can a 840kg shopping trolley pose...

  1. Hi John, are you not tempting fate a little bit by mentioning Michael Crawford and "not for use on sloped surfaces" in such close proximity! :)
    The dollies look good. Looking forward to seeing how the resto' proceeds.
    What is she called by the way?

  2. She is as yet unnamed. Don't want to become too attached in case I need to "put her down".
