What pit tables do you use and where did you get it from??
I'm after a new one since my 4 seater fold out decided to fold in last sunday:wtf:
Thanks all

Si Chambers has a really good one, and from last Sunday it looks to be the same as Tom Yardy's. It is a folding aluminium one, and has an interlocking metal top that can be folded up. Its bigger and a bit better than my similiar one (more steady), and has more legroom!
I think he might have got it from Argos, but might be worthwhile PM' Yardee
JUST FOUND IT ON ARGOS

Andy homebase do a folding banqute table for £20 (what a lot of people use) or the one Mark mentioned, do a search on ebay for hi-gear tables think they are 130cm wide they are between £25-30 or £50 from Argos.

Yep, I've got that one too. its a popular one. great price too.
i really like the alluminium fold out one, if anyone finds one cheap-ish, I might get one of those.

they do take a bit of a kicking in rallycross as we are pushing down on starterboxes a lot on them & anything less sturdily constructed breaks very quickly :rolleyes:

Or if your feeling flush the 6ft ones that fold in half and 2 people can pit on or 1 greedy bugger like me can put everything spread out on can be had from

my mate left one of those blue jobbies in the back of his car for a few weeks between meetings a while back. the vibrations from driving around undid all the nuts and bolts as they weren't nylocked!
it was hilarious when he turned up trackside & threw the table open and had all the legs, seats & linkages all just fall onto the floor :D
took him ages to find enough of the bolts etc to bodge it back together!
he ended up spending a few quid on new bolts & nylocks at Halfords on the way home :rolleyes:

I had one like that made out of alloy and wood, it lasted years so i thought how bad can the plastic ones be:o.
Used it about 6 times and its fluffed:D

we have one of the really big ones like bradders and cragg have but it weights a bloody ton, and its quiet big even when folded

well we tested the new table, its a similar size to the big one we have already, but about a 3rd it's weight just as good and probably almost as strong.
worth every penny of the 35quid they cost

That table stayed up all day.
My placky picnic table collapsed though :(
:)
Hey Bondy,
on the link you gave....
is that mr jeffries' dad on the left of the screen? on the helpline?
I use a table that's got a flat top and four legs. It stays up until it's taken down, then goes into my garage...
Just buy a table and use it, that's what I did

Get yourself to Morrisons and get a paste table for £12.99 and then nip to B&Q and get some timber to strengthen it up in the middle or if your feeling feminine get yourself an ironing board and use that.
Plus side of an ironing board is you can make it get taller or smaller. :woot:

not that one, that one looks flimsy!
i've had a look around the Homebase site & the one we all use doesn't appear to be shown on there :eh?:
it has a grey steel frame & flap down legs & it folds in the middle with a carrying handle on one side with a light wood coloured top.
they are £20 to buy and after searching for a picture of one they certainly seem the best value after looking at some alternatives ;)
its looking like you'll have to actually go into your nearest store & ask for one! i think they are classed as a heavy duty papering table?
whatever you do don't buy the hardboard papering table by mistake LOL :lol:

That remeinds me, i could do with a different pit table. Possible a bit lower and a bit bigger.
