F-ing bankholidays.
Iv just got back after doing 136 deliveries in 2 rounds (just me and my dad) instead of the normal 3. We let our 'employed' drivers have
the day off so that we could get out of paying them, but we didn't realise we would have this many deliveries. I am SOOOOOO knackered i thought
id let it all out here because that is what others do 
Did anyone else have such a hard bankholiday?

Yes, Went to Stoneleigh in the rain!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but

I worked Saturday and Monday this weekend. Sunday was my only day off for 3 weeks! And working this weekend solid too!
But extra holiday for it all so im happy, especially as it was raining where I was today.
To be honest it wasnt too bad today. Getting some cars ready for testing tomorrow. There was a trackday on too, so had a look round some nice cars. We
have had the new Audi R8 up the last few days for a photo shoots. Fecking beautiful it is!

Thats what you get for being such a tight arse, by trying to get out of paying your drivers, no sympathy, it has come back to bite you on the
arse.....
It was dads decision not mine.

Hard day sticking the engine in the locost . This has been my first weekend off in 3 weeks. I have been to London, Milan, Dubai, Kuwait, Windemere
and Liverpool and worked every day up to Friday so no wonder slow progress! Back to work tomorrow and hopefully a clear weekend to start wiring,
finish bodywork and fix headlights! Currently have knackered left knee and left shoulder and hoping I can get car finished before the rest of me falls
apart
