ALDI Bathroom Scales

Just noticed ALDI are doing 120KG Bathroom scales this Sunday for 3.99 ea. So could be a cheap option for doing corner weights if your car's light enough.

Those ratchet spanners they are doing are decent kit. I purchased the non flexi-head versions and they are very good quality. The amount of 'clicks' on the ratchet is obviously not as precise as the more costly halfords versions but definately worth the £££

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

pop them on top of each other, measure each scale, add the 2 readings together. Means each scale takes half the weight, making 240kg per corner.

Surely the one on the bottom would measure the one on top + the car?

side by side with bit of wood on top. but why bother.

you can get 200kg rated scales for £15 if you hunt about. not cheep when buying 4 but much cheaper than paying a race prep company to do it for you.
