How can you run a cc business from a wagon. :-

[Darren O]

Dont belive all the guff they tell you owned by a ex  VW mechanic aye right.

[M.Acorn]

I don`t run it from a wagen,i run my business from home and will go to the job in the wagen,i get bookings based on the quality of my work ,and a lot of referalls,not on how new and shiny my vehicle is that i turn up in

Will also be taking a mate along,who happens to be a mechanic,that does vw conversions

When i first started out 5 years ago iwas using a fecked old sieara estate,and used to put my machine on the back seat ! So the van was much better,didn`t have any effect on the work i got,would not be running still if i was crap !

Wagon

Mark they are advertising brand new caddys at around 50 pound a week with free servicing might be worth a look ..

[M.Acorn]

There is a main dealers at the bottom of my road,will go and check it out in the morning 

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

I think caddys are pickups where he is AUSTRALIA  I think you are reading more into it m8 don't think he was having a go


 Cheers Tony

[clinton]

[Mike Osbourne]

Yeah they were on a top gear a few weeks back.Small Vans from europe but they don't like 'em cos you can't get many sheep in them.

[Joe H]

That looks the business Tony.
Have they tweaked the engine a bit as well, do you know?

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Hi Joe Got my package thanks m8 Nick say thanks also.

Yeh well tweaked 

Cheers Tony

A wagon here is like an estate over there.
mark, the guys are being nice to you and trying to give you some good advice, but it doesn't seem to be sinking in.
If you want to get serious about your cc business, then buy a decent van, no smaller than a Renualt trafic,work on getting a truckmount machine and acessories.5 years is long enough, get with it mate or bugger off and stop winging about you frigin van.
Sorry for being blunt, but someone had to say it.

Plenty of nice vauxhall combos about at 2-3k , ,new shape  perfectly good vans ,, I used to run them as a CD franchise, turned over plenty , nd good profits ,, who needs a big van to be serious?

[M.Acorn]

I have had my fingers burned by vauxhall    And so has my wife,her h/gasket has gone on her 03 corsa,just been quoted £750 to fix it !
I don`t need a big van,a lot of the jobs i do i would not get anywhere near with a t/m,Mr c worx i don`t suppose you have ever tried driving around some of the very narrow streets where i live.
I have no plans to go t/m as yet,earning plenty of ££ with my porty.

When the time comes to go t/m then i will get a bigger van to accomadate it ! But my plans at the moment are to save up a deposit for a house,my wife also has another year left at uni,so i am subsidising her income too at the moment,hence not taking on any extra debt.

[Ricky M]

Mark you could just roll a J and think about the van Tomor or some other time 

[M.Acorn]

I have got £400. worth of work booked in tomorrow,so i will be thinking about the bloody thing all day until i get home tomorrow eve.did a 60 mile round trip yesterday and it coped just,been told to whip out the thermostat,which will help a bit.then it`s got to get me to Northampton on Fri ,so i can trade it in against the other one.

You fancy roling then Ability ?

[clinton]

Good luck with it mark and guna miss your breakdown stories mate

Get some cover when you buy it mate just in case.
