Hi mate , i wish you the bst of luck with it------------- but i dont think it will work.

As you know i have the motor bike shop over the road now it has been a bike shop since 1947 i brought the free hold 3 years ago and spent ŁŁŁŁŁ doing it up and then re opend it last year and it is pants and i mean pants yes lots of lookers dreamers but NO MONEY.

Now this is the point you have to talk to them spend time with them and then you ask the big queston how much have you got to spend and they say there on the dole or wating to start work.

I am very very lucky as i have our Engine parts and sevice business that pays for the shop and rates etc but if it had to stand on its own 2 feet no way no how and this is how you can get in to big big debt and the banks will tie the rope aroud your neck.

I just don't think wednesfield/ wolverhampton has the type of pepole you need to make that sort of business work LOOK at Paul From PJ how many local pepole use him and give him repete business ?? he has to advertise in the mags to generate sales from out side the Midlands so to speek.

I would love for me to be wrong but i think there is no profit in it and i would hate to see the Rent on that palce Ł50k a year ???

 

hey paul, how ya doing me man? Thanks for posting to this. I see what ya mean dude i really do . My thought was the fact (no offence) all car parts places are like well on street corners or in communitites etc

See demon tweeks works well considering they are miles away etc. I thought where the site would be where i am looking is ideal for motorway acces plus the link with Pj motorsport being up the road would help as well etc etc etc.

I am awaiting rent and rates info. I am wining and dining and sweetalking the agenst on wednesday so i guess ill have to wait and see.

anyway bout time you came to pub innit we go to mill house now on a friday dude.

 

best of luck with your business m8

any discounts for overseas goons ?

 

cheers mate

if it all works out then yes, ill be doing mail order and will sort ya out

 

Good luck

 

cheers buddy

 

What on earth are you talking about

Pauls based in Wolverhampton because he fookin lives about 1.5 miles from his workshop . Whats the point in having to travel fookin miles to work

As for advertising in the mags , where else is he going to advertise a mail order parts department from

And most of Pauls customers are midlands based AND use him time after time

Im sorry mate but you defo picked the wrong person use as an example

 

sludge this is a big step mate think about it first and make sure
you know what your doing get some good advice mate this one
problem ive got as you know i want to start on my own and open
up a spray centre doing respray's etc. remember if you do end up
going at it the wrong way you could end up with the loss of your
home and my be the car etc

first of all think about the over head's i,e electric, heating over
winter and the rent of the building it's not easy mate to many
peaple are at this now and it is getting very hard for others to cope
and end up closing down, if i was closer to you i would of asked if
you would like a partnership in it and we could of had a bodyshop
aswell not only that i do have some very good contacts for cheap
items.

im the one you need to see on this if you want cheap stuff i can get
about 5 very good contacts for you, there is a ware house i go to
that do very good price's on amp's sub woofer's calbe for sound
systems and other item's, another that does very cheap but good
tool's plus things like jump starts at very good price's, im just trying
to get to another trade card for another place that doe's wheel trim's
floor mat's, wax oil, filler, cd player's , tv screens, white gauges ie
boost, temp, oil pressure etc

i wish you all the best on this and if you go ahead i will buy thing's
of you in a large amount at a time, i can also get lexus lights cheap

i may be able to help you out on a company that do very cheap disc's
pads wheel cylinder's and filter's.

when you sort out the rest get in touch mate and i will sort the info
out for you

 

baz cheers buddy

Yes i understand all the shit i could get into. Thing is as you all know me by now, i want more more more all the time and i will fight tooth and nail to do it

The situation with me aunt has recently inspired me to rethink stuff of late , including the fact i started this site in january.

Now call me sad, but i dont want to die with a gravestone saying ian taylor rip 1975-20??????????

i'd rather die with this site carrying on ( as discussed with cos33 and sorted cossie weeks ago) with my name still alive and a business thats the same for my kids.

I can choose to go on in life being content. That is not me at all. Sorry. I need and want more. I dream and try to achieve my dreams,

If it dont work out, at least i can say, hey i had a go as opposed to not doing it.

Ona cherrier note yeh any contacts would be great baz
