Default Car ramp advise....

As above looking at doing quite a few track days this year in my blob and about to start building my type r track car so thinking I could do with a ramp so what are my options??

My garage isn't big enough for a 2 post ramp but have a open courtyard a side of house I could possibly put on? But how do they cope outside all the time and costs?

Second is one of those scissor ramps which can wheel in and out of garage and have car on it in garage aswell??

Thanks ryan

Not sure how a 2 poster would cope outside as most of them have exposed parts but the scissor ramps are pretty handy, my mate has one and although you are a little bit restricted underneath they are still very good. I'm sure his was about £1500 new.

You can get outdoor ramps but they cost more than indoor ones.

Dig a pit in your grage and cover it with decent wood when it's not in use. That's what my cousin has in his garage and it works a treat
