Hi Sean

Work is up and down as usual. At the moment I think people are generally more concerned about servicing their mortgages than their cars.

I usually check with reps calling in whether it's just me or a local trend - at the moment everyone round here is a bit quieter.

Except for the few who charge next to nothing (according to their ads) and take on anything going.

Personally, I would rather be a bit poorer than stressed like some guys are.

I am definitely doing fewer jobs but they are higher value - I am also getting in a few unusual cars. Currently a Panther Kallista with a list of work needed. Hopefully, my reputation for taking pride in work like this will continue to spread - the fast-fits can't (or wont) touch them!

Next month I'll probably be so rushed again I'll think I'm twins!

Nihil illegitimi carborundum (Always buy genuine grinding paste!)

Regards,

Steve
