Credit Crunch Blues

[ratman]

yes Ratman, it was me.

 

To be fair the petrol was already in the tank when i realised how much money I didn't have, it just seemed a shame to leave it there. But it did mean I had to be careful not to go too far, I did around 40miles in the end - it was a cracking drive though

 

cool we was on our way to stratford for the tina weekender

everyone is happy then

 

it could be worse you could own an MG

wife sold her MGB years back and bought a washing machine with the money.

 

It was a fair trade considering the weetabix appearance underneath!

I know its effecting you lot, as i've had 2 simple 5 links cancelled and 1 full road/race build cancelled.. and that effects me to, the small jobs pay the rent, the big ones dont.

 

Takes me 4 hours to fit some turrets, and i charge the same as everyone else, but it takes me a lot longer to fit my 4 links and watts ... and i charge a lil bit more, but nothing like the hours it should be, without the small jobs, i wouldnt be able to build the big jobs at the price i do, so i wouldnt get the big jobs.

 

So like you, i'm hoping this country picks up, because it wont be a car i lose .. but a business! ... but they will have to kill me before i give up

I can see it now, wandering the streets with a grubby cardboard sign & a welder 'Will 4 link for food'
