I know everyone uses a couple of glossy magazines for this - but I wanted something a bit more accurate, so I made a couple of turntables - 300mm across, 450Kg max weight each, steel ball bearings and 10mm thick.

They work fine and handle the front of the 325i cabby - drive on drive off.

Lovely idea and they look tough enough for the job as well.
