Me thinks jeg has been living in the more advanced part of the world and forgotten some of the "repairs" we see in good ole' redneck country!  High falootin' Western Europe has never seen a house window A/C duct-taped to a car window, driven by a generator in the trunk!... with an extension cord!

But in this case I'm not against the idea of a quality trailer wheel being a 'donut spare' for the BACK of a Mini!  It won't fit on the front over even the drum brakes, but on the back would be well within the weight limits...

On a side topic, I was weed-eating my yard and found two cars I'd forgotten about, and a boat!

I've said "Stick a fork in me, I'm done" before.

Why I don't heed my own advice.......

  I realize it was a feeble attempt reposting the picture to make me look silly, if you'd bothered to even read the origanal thread the pic was taken in the PO's (that's previous owners) garage and if you'd bothered to look at the photo it's clear to Stevie Wonder the jack stand isn't under the car but next to it.

Many years ago I had my hand in an engine and a bone-head that I worked with hit the key, cranking the engine over. Hood was up, didn't even know he was there.

Didn't know he was there.

I knew he was there when my finger tip was ripped off. Never got an apology from him. Although I never forgot (how can I ?) or forgave, when he's needed help I've been there for him. It's my problem wanting to help those, even when they don't want it.

I'll do my best to ignore your rants, but if you're drowning, I may jump in and try to save you. (Sadly,looks like you can't swim)

That's why my fellow mechanics gave me the nickname 9 & 3/4. There I can see the humor.

Here on this forum, not so much.

I seriously hope you're not using a trailer wheel as the spare.  If so, you really are an ignorant, irresponsible menace...

My Favorite

I've never owned a piece of crap jack stand like that.

That was before I bought the car, PO was working on it.

And if you look at the picture, that jack stand is just sitting on the floor next to the car.

I'd thank you for your mechanical expertise, but alas I promised Jemal I'd be less  sarcastic in addressing you.

( I'm trying to figure out whether your mind is a dark and scary place, or a place filled with unicorns and glitter )

Now run along sun-ny, adults are talking.

Which one to use ? or  or  or  or

Which do you like ?

an 8 inch trailer wheel fits the mini, just so you know!.. this is what im using as a spare tire.

and please don't do this at home, .. putting the jack stand support on the side beam.  omg!,, lol

Got it jeg, danke schoen.

Brilliant!

SXSMAN - I sent you an E-mail -

I want that stubby Yamaha R6!!

However, I am worried about the tiny brakes that Mini must be running!

SXSMAN - I found it on Minivation's Facebook feed.  Yeah, know nothing about it.  Sure it could be photoshopped but then you'd wonder why.  But by the same token if was not photoshopped, it would be an even bigger why....!

But this will definitely hit 90mph

Hmm... seems faster than mine.

That's very funny ! Is that your photoshop work or someone else ?

Classic. I needed a chuckle.
