sounds like a plan. or just one morning sneak it in and say its a customer car then when its finished sneak it out again  :lol:

The previous panel beater did that every day, hence why he is up the road and the business is struggling. he cost them thousands but i guess that's what you get for running a small company and not being there every day making sure everything is running smoothly.

 

Not all bad though, His stupidity got me a job!

 

i just need to come up with ideas how they can get the customers in the door as the old panel beater set up on his own now and pinched all the customers  :ohno:

tell them thats why they need your mini in there as proof that the work that is going to come out of that shop is better than down the road. i think you will come up with something, if the idiot down the road was stupid enough to get him self fired then he will be stupid enough to run out of business

Because there is nowhere to put it up except the back garden but i have now found that there is no way to get the Mini into the garden without major upheaval.

 

There is plenty of room for it on the driveway but it would block out too much light as the drive runs across the front of the house instead of to one side

Not too bad mate.

We have had no internet until today (Wednesday) so not been able to catch up with anyone here.

I started my new job also, so been very busy.

 

Not sure when i can update this next as i can't see me having the time to do any work on it :(
