....and he's using concrete blocks to hold up his SLK?

On a side note - those are very weedy looking brakes for a 60K + sports car.

Wow does this actually happen!! I thought it was a myth that fellas used concrete blocks!!
When we were in school one of the teachers that was a prick came out to find that someone had lifted the front and rear of the car and strategically placed a fish box under each wheel. Poor sap.

Lads have been stroking wheels like this for donkeys years but I haven't heard of it happening in ages.
