    bloody hell Nige, you've got as much filler on there as Gusbus has :eek:

    Ella looked in very good condition back at Halloween
     
  6. Got a feeling there is a bit more to come yet ,but the upside is it should be a bit lighter when all the filler is gone

  9. Yeah I agree once you are in then it seems that you are on the home straight, shame really...as getting in is the ball ache, even if you are booked in, its not a guarantee you are leaving it there... still hopefully the job is lush once it comes out... good skills
     
  10. looks grim and expensive...;)

  16. @Lord Congi @jivedubbin that's why I looked elsewhere... He fobbed me off for 18months even when I was booked in three times... Went elsewhere sadly.. Do like the guy he just needs to get a grip of scheduling work and stop living on legends of old

    the wilmas had the right idea plied them with cake and got the bits needed all ready before the job was started.

  18. They can have cake when its finished,(in case there reading it )
     
  19. what was it you wanted doing ,just out of interest
     
  20. I had some holes around the bottom of my windows that needed fixing... Very small - the largest one was approx 5mm dia, but they needed doing and also some work around the gutters... The job was then to end with the top half of my bus getting a respray. Robbie the sprayer said it would take him a week. Problem was I always got bounced if something a little bit "sexier" was booked in - it was also the language he used to tell me it was a bad time to leave my bus... Like I say I like the bloke he just needs to know how to look after all customers, not those who went to euro jam with him in the early 90s...
