Believe it or not, that list of mine is 100% true - as any UK Club member 
will verify.
 
As I've got older, I've found it _much_ easier to work on an engine if the 
front of the car is on ramps.  And I've found engine hoists quite useful, too.
 
So I began to wonder - would it be possible to design a multi-purpose 
convertible roll cage that could easily be detached and converted into a set of 
ramps or a hoist?
 
(I've just realised I forgot to mention the cigar lighter powered 12v 
 inspection lamp.  And the hose clips and O-rings.  Honest.  Open for
 viewing at any UK Club event ...)
