Just thought I would post a few photo's of the car - well more the hoist which will help so much.

No Fly Nad can't drive - only has the use down her left side.

I drive it but have had the insurance altered for this one to an open policy so the support agency can use it, the ramps were not suitable for them to use w/chair needed pushing up into car.

It will releave me of some work  ;)

Just need to get used to the difference in driving as the last one was a Ford Est, (this one is a Vauxhall), only had 10,250 on the clock and not a scratch on it.

The hoist makes it heavier to drive and once the w/chair in even more so, but will get used to it, only got it last wednesday.

Pete - I take it you need lifting off the floor once out of the pub then - and bundling into back of a car  :))

@ Fly ok sorry got it wrong yes she can but she has always been able to do that anyway as we have used ramps to get her chair into the car.

I now have two sets of telescopic ramps to sell for her!
