I thank you all for your words of wisdom.

I suppose we at some stage of our lives did something stupid or hasty, I only takes one moment for our gamble to go wrong. I fact this is the first time I have written about that fatefull day. The horror of it is too mind mumbing to verbilize it but writing here to people I have never met but feel a close bond with helps a lot.

I have deleted most of this posting as I started to write about how Ciara died and as a very capable person, It was becoming a sad and heart renching affair. I think the thing that really stays with me is the fact that I, as a capable person, was totally unable to stop this tragedy from happening.

Ok back to the matter hand, I was brought in the good old days of Imperial measurements, so if the manufacturesof these ramps state 'These ramps are tested to 1,500Kg each or 3,000Kg per pair when evenly loaded.', what does my Packard weigh in Kg? Also given the large engine at the front, I assume there is a larger loading on the front wheels than on the back, would it still be within the limits of these ramps?

Pat.
