Smile Some ideas invited

I'm hopefully geting my car [RB5] moved to the scrap yard tommorrow.

It's basically a shell and completely striped out and currently on axle stands on my driveway.

The truck thats coming is a flatbed and just has a winch so I need to think of some ideas to get the car onto the truck.

Now Mariusz Puchanowskikiki is not my neighbour so that idea is no use.

Has anyone any imaginitave ideas that may help?

If you don't want to damage the drive, drop the car ontop of some shuttering ply and use the winch to drag it onto the truck (assuming they have a decent winch!)

You could also reverse the truck so the edge of the ramp is under the car (jack the car up me if need be). Then jack up the the other end of the car (in the middle) and roll with car as it is winched on.

Sorted it.
Reversed the trailer under the front, hooked up the winch and started winding it in and it just slid on no probs.
