Will you please also define your meaning of "unladen weights" and let us know whether the cars are to contain oil, petrol, water etc. We would like to add that it is ever so much easier to obtain the weights with the cars ready for the road, that is with its complement of oil, petrol and water. tools etc. C/Bk{A.
