This aluminium race-style trolley jack from tool giant Clarke will make light work of any under-car maintenance. The jack has been designed with sporting models in mind, as its saddle can drop lower than standard units to a mere 79mm – at full height it will reach 376mm. It weighs only 10.3kg, while the two-piece handle makes it easy to store and use – simply twist and pump to raise and lower the cup. There is also a rubber contact pad to protect the car.
The famous Ford name...
The famous Ford name is set to return to the BTCC in 2009 after an absence of nearly a decade. Independent team Arena Motorsport has revealed that it will field a squad of Focus STs in next yearò€™s championship. Although not a factory-backed effort, it will mean tin-top fans get to see the seriesò€™ most successful manufacturer back in action. Since 1959, the blue oval has won 10 championships and a total of 219 races.
Heading the driver line-up will be Tom Chilton. The 23-year-old last raced for the outfit between 2003 and 2005, claiming six victories in a Honda Civic.
Arena boss Mike Earle says the squad has a bright future. ò€œThis is an exciting opportunity for us. We aim to return to the winning ways we enjoyed in the past.ò€
