Buoyant and Busy
Not many posts recently as to be honest we have been too busy. I just don’t get this financial downturn it is not effecting us at all and to be honest, we are probably busier than ever. Of course it is possible that many are no longer buying breakdown cover, but as cars do not know about this financial crisis they still breakdown like they always did. This has meant the nights have been buoyant with regular call outs, even to some distance away from the garage.
We have had no time to work on our salvage projects, but again this is probably a blessing as just as the used car market prices have shot up, so have the salvage prices too. I wish I had bought a bit more at the beginning of the year, when prices were just ideal.
Light nights mean the classic cars come out; I used to own an MGB and had to sell it unfortunately, due to time restraints and also something to do with the fact that by the time I get home I am sick of cars. I do this for a living so struggle a bit when it comes to doing for pleasure except if there is a fast car involved and then it is different.
In fact even driving is just too much bother now. I choose holidays where there are as little cars about as possible, ideally boats or even just a beach but not cars and certainly not where I have to drive one. It might breakdown, I just don’t like busman’s holidays.
The biggest storyline was a car fire; god did that take some parts to fix. Our fault and the engine was fine, but the electric wiring was a nightmare and locating the correct wiring parts unbelievable and expensive. Thank god for the internet and car part locator services like CarSpareFinder.
So until things change, time to sign off.
