I'm currently not at all popular with the parents.

It turns out that parking 2.5 tonnes of Solihull's finest on axle ramps, on a tarmac driveway, on a hot day, results in 4 very large footprints in the drive.
Cant anyone recommend a way of repairing this please? as you can see, the tarmac is well-weathered so a fresh blob of the stuff would look totally incongruous. My current line of thinking is to use some of the light grey chipping stuff the council throw down when doing half-arsed road "resurfacing" - a handful of colour matched chippings in each hole, with a bit of tar on the bottom to stick them down, might just work?
If not, is there anything else I can do?

Thanks chaps, my apologies as I thought I'd replied.

As a temporary measure I swept up and deposited a load of loose matching stones in the holes. When I have the time, I'm going to take them out again, mix them with some spare fibreglass resin, then stick them in permanently smile

Oh, and I've also cut some 1" ply boards to go under the ramps in future!
