How is that possible , it just looks like random cutting 

[hairnet]

watching chasing classic cars and hes at pebble beach but he does the concours de lemons - last time i saw him do that he rented a volvo p1800es that someone had turned into a targa  - this time he bought a cadillac convertible that was more rusty than eddys

there was shit cadillacs and azteks and strange shit and then they showed a place holder with needlessly complcated italian cars on it

then they cut to wayne and while hes talking theres only a fiat strada in the background !!!!!!!11111111one!!11!!!!!

not complicated (he was talking about something else)

didnt know they ever imported them into usa

watching fantomworks and theyve brought in a 50s chevy pick up

chap bought it after he bought a ferrari for himself  she wanted a truck

they bought it in and ooh thats rough they took the body off and the chassis was that fucked - when you sat on the outrigger for the cab the rail twisted even with only a person sat on it

sp they threw it away and bought a new frame but as dan described what theyre doing also said theyve buying a newer cab and also they bought a 502 to go in it - well thats why youd throw the orig chassis away then

as im watching the cab they bought is worse than eddys caddy

why didnt the customers - if theyre gonna spend that much money doing that why they didnt just buy a lovely truck - as in even a concours one - they wouldnt have to wait and it would be cheaper

insane

I remember the Chevy Nomad they did that got painted the wrong colour and Dan’s solution to the customer was “it looks better after several glasses of wine” 🤔 they still had to pay full price for the job even though they didn’t get what they wanted/agreed.

Also I know classic car restoration is expensive but their prices seem out of this world

Something I heard today whilst on-site made me laugh,

“sometimes it’s just better to give a prospective customer 5 grand and tell them to fuck off rather than piss about sorting their Quote, as in the long run it’s less hassle and you’ll lose less money”

😂

A two-time customer of ours has just featured in private eye today. Seems that despite having multi-million profits from ppe contracts they can’t afford to pay my companies’ multi -hundred point bill from 2020.

I’ll be writing to them ( yet again) tomorrow with a copy of the item, and to private eye just to let the squalid rag know what sort of fly by night shifty lot they are.

Unfortunate pronunciation.

Not sure what I've been googling recently to get these targeted ads 🤔

A couple of months ago I nabbed the Chevy spark that was for sale here - today we have success! New brake lines will be done in the coming weeks / months. 

I'm really glad it's up and running, minus the missfire now!, as the Honda has been taken of the road while it waits it's turn in the garage for  new clutch, flywheel, full cat back stainless steel exhaust, new rear callipers and anything else they find wrong with it.

HMRC have refunded money into my business account. I can now pay them corporation tax and take the rest* Tax free.  

And close the account and wind up the company.  After 12 plus years.  

*Not alot. But it will pay for a new roof.

The rest is subject to income tax surely?

Keep the company going for another year running at a loss ( just do nothing except pay yourself something to make a loss), and you can claim a good chunk of the corporation tax back.

Something about entrepreneurs investment relief.  Like capital gains tax. 

The problem with running at a loss for a year is that the actual saving in tax would be eaten up in accounting fees. 

Ready made sure the profit was as low as possible by paying a shit load into pension.
