14 hours a week at 60 quid plus vat, minus the electric ( but then a dynamo might be a good idea for it , run the lights of it too )

is that 60 quid just to pay for the 4x4 tune or does that allow profit and the building rent too


how long till its payed for and how liong a waranty do ya get, 100 grand id want longer than 6 months

The smallest one which measures upto 800HP is about Ł80K + VAT
the other 2 which measure 1000 and 1600 HP are well over Ł100K
