This sounds like a day out and a half.

Will see what Stu is sayin.

c*nt

 

ok googled it, bit far so erm... n'op

 

a bit far? Southern and **iry springs to mind...

Wouldn't mind this but am in Welsh Wales on mi holidays..

 

Past watford gap Jim comes out in a rash.

 

welsh wales


where is that? is is close to either north,south,west,east wales???

 

you have a few months notice, arrange some cover

 

Its not possible to get cover in my business im afraid.

 

The best....... North Wales.....and seeing as you are in the south...

 

how are you going to retire and play golf?

 

Im not. Ive no interest in retiring. I will eventually teach my children the intricasies of rescaling engine manegement systems remotely, but until then i have 82 dealers that require Kenny and I to be awaiting their software at our keyboards. Kenny can manage on his own in an emergency, but its not fair just for a track day.

Still, you never know... i guess i could do some work remotely from my car while im there. Will give it some thought as id like to go, should be a great day with some great driving and photo opportunities.

 

get on it stu
it will be an awesome day and its a great circuit.my m5 loved it round there in the wet!!!

 

that's the spirit! I could arrange half a day for you if you just want to come up for a few hours in the afternoon.

i'm off to play golf

cya later!

 

sport on, traction off

 

He's not joking either! He will never retire.......

As for time off, we are having to plan NOW for when the baby arrives in September and that's not proving to be easy

 

ahh been there - done the baby thing

you have to claim that you need to work just to get some r&r

 

Gayyyyyyyyyyy, thats the day i come back from Zante! I will be in no fit state to do anything for at least a week!

 

stu, the got a mobile data card? they're great for working out of the office. bandwith might not be suitable for you to everything online but you can use a remote desktop type service to access the office PC and work that way

 

Yes we do Jim

 

Putting yourself in a position where 82 seperate businesses all rely on your availability in order to not cause them problems with their own customers? How fucking stupid are you?!

 

I seem to have managed ok for the past 8 years mate.

 

as much of a "see you next tuesday" as chip is, he has got a point

 

Do you guys worry so much when you have to go out without your mums too? Welcome to the tuning industry.

 

being an employee rocks... lol

 

I used to think the same, but not anymore mate.

 

Think i'll throw a sicky tomorrow and go drifting while being paid, fancy coming along stu?


Seriously though, fair play to you, but I hope you do manage to find some time for stuff more important than business once the baby arrives!

 

No thanks pal, i cant drift to save my life.

Back to seriousness, we manage just fine mate, we only work Monday to Friday 9 - 5 and have an hour for lunch. Does self employed life actually get any easier than that? The bonus is, i dont have a boss breathing down my neck and targets to reach, oh, and i get paid properly which most employees dont of course.

I have plenty of time to do all the other things in life so im not sure what your reffering too??
I had two holidays last year, one in Germany and one in Barbados staying at the Crane Hotel, the year before we did Africa, Germany and spent 2 weeks on the French Rivierra, staying in the Cannes Hilton. Life is good, and it is good BECAUSE i personally refuse to swan off during working hours not in SPITE of it! It means my dealer network knows they can trust us to perform whenever we are required to. Its called commitment and professionalism, something which will always single out an employee from an employer.

There are better and more profitable businesses of course, many of them, but i get a lot of satisfaction out of growing mine and it has grown, religeusly, year in, year out, sometimes in excess of 300%. thats my golf.

 

Respect for that Stu...............

Btw im chattin to Bobby about what we spoke about last week...just asking a few more questions.

Could be getting a phone call soon

 

It's certainley good enough for me babe!

We live a good standard of life, it is afterall what we make it

 

right! thats enough spamming in the thread! (congratulations btw)

anyone else up for a skive off work day? bbq, beer, fast cars, sunshine - it doesnt get any better than this!

 

I might be.

 

rofl. after all you just said as well. Super

 

you know it makes senseit will be great fun.

hats off to the way you do business though mate...virtually 100% satisfaction is something not many people can boast.

 

it was the bbq that has won him over

 

Beat me to it

 

11 csl's already

c'mon mr eggleton, where are you?????????
