"How to" stick your car to the floor :-)
Hi, after my last blat at the end of last year, put the car in the garage. Couple of days later went to move it and at first thought that the brakes
had stuck on, finaly got it to move and this is what I found.
 
Stuck on you :-)
All four wheels had stuck to the floor, "MEMO to self", let the tyres cool down, before putting in garage.   Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Not if you do as I once did, attempt to "burn off" the stuff that soaked into the concrete.
Ermmmm......Not recommended..............!!!!!
Surprising how much can soak in
Nearly set the house on fire
My firefighting as opposed to engineering skills came in handy that day

TiRE SHOES®
for permanent tyre relief
TireShoes® have been specially designed to prevent tyres from going square. Emphasis is made to the long winter storage season when cars tend to
stand for months at a time. Tyres develop "flat spots" and sidewalls deform, resulting in damaged tyres, a bumpy ride and uneven tread
ware.
TireShoes® offer ideal support for both crossply and radial tyres, relieving and keeping them perfectly round by means of a concave solid rubber pad,
shaped like the tyre itself. Installation is simple, no jack, no tools, no screws, simply place the four non-slip solid rubber pads in front of each
wheel and drive on, that's it!
TireShoes® have been designed to fit tyres up to 11 ¼" (285mm) in width and up to 39" (1000mm) in diameter, making them suitable for
virtually all vehicles. The concave shape of TireShoes® offers increased surface support up to 11" x 12" (275mm x 300mm), relieving the
tyres whilst parked and during long term storage.
Jacking the car to relieve the tyres is no longer necessary!

Interesting study into "contact patch" there!
Those tyre shoes, £125 for 4! FFS.
I have rubber tiles down in mine, which I got free after I accidentally ordered a garage too much for a job  , no sticking problems here!

Strange how that happens sometimes
I remember years ago where we found someone had accidentally ordered MGB brake discs and hydraulic hoses for a job, luckily one of the guys was
restoring one at the time so they didn't go to waste.
