In for a penny........
In for a pound.
All this doom and gloom on the news re economy as made us think long and hard over this decision.
Today we have signed the lease on new premiss's opening January 1st 2010, what started as a hobby for the Mrs as now outgrown first home, then a
small lock up followed by the small industrial unit we currently occupy to the point we have decided to move once more.
The new unit is just 700yds from the M1 J29a, so if any locostbuilders are passing in the new year feel free to pop in and say hello, it is my
intention once settled to take the car down there so I can tinker during those quiet moments, I often feel I could be doing all those little jobs that
need doing now but the car is stuck at home untouched and by the time I get home the motivation as gone.
Anyhow we have took the plunge and will be looking to do something we have never done before, look to employ assistance, here's to 2010.

Trying to find out the true cost of parts fitted to the car.......
It all started a few years ago, I was working in China and we was chatting on MSN,
Mrs "I have just bought a pallet of cooker hoods"
Me "What"
Mrs "A pallet of cooker hoods"
The rest is history, we have been holding the venture back for a while now due to been soooooooo busy for the two of us and space constraints.

+ 1 what's the hobby? 
I'm in the process of looking for office space nearer to my home in york as the 70 mile round trip everyday is starting to grind me down.
I've found some lovely little offices with mini indoor loading bays which have a roller door. I had the exact same thought "I could stick
my build in there!"
Congratulations on the new premises, good luck with the upscaling of your efforts and wish you well finding the right people for the job

Best of luck Jon (& Mrs Jon)
Still not sure exactly what the venture is though...???
Is it buying up surplus kitchen stock and selling it on eBay?

Good luck Jon.
Malc @ Yorkshire Engines tells me that the economy will be 'booming in two month's time.' I have to say that my economics degree
tells me something different but I don't think someone in your line of work should be deterred.
Use what you have well, run tight and it's as good an opportunity to flourish as at any other time.
