My New Venture
« on: 10 September 2007, 12:17:15 »
As a few of you know i was about to take on a small yard with a  sorry looking garage on it with the view to breaking and repairing a few Meegas  ::) Well after a bit of consideration i have decided against this idea :'( However there is a reason for this. When i left school i went straight into the motor trade for a few years and then on to the building trade, which i have done for many years now, but as you all know you do get tired of the same old thing so i have decided to hang my tile cutter up for good and go back to my roots.

I have just taken the  lease on a medium size workshop ( about 12 cars ) with a small car sales pitch on the front of it ( about 10 cars ) with a view to mainly selling and breaking meegas. So hopefully by October 1st we should be up and running  ;) Theres a lot to do yet, an office has got to be built at the front end, a new roller shutter has to be fitted along with the installation of a 2 post ramp, not to mention the sales pitch needs a a good overhaul.

I would just like to add that it is mainly because of this site that my spanners are active again and I forgot how much i enjoy working on motors, so if it all goes T*ts up i can blame you lot  ;D

Before you ask, yes we can have a cambelt party, but not just yet  :y

One thing i could do with a bit of help with is that this new venture needs a name, so any ideas would be appreciated. One mention of my avatar and you will be shot  :D

Good luck with it!

'Doug's meega's'  has a certain ring to it, sounds a bit dodgy though.

Due to the age of meega's now, maybe best to not have them in the name, but as a subheading :

[size=36]Doug's Motors[/size]
[size=12]        Vauxhall Omega Specialist[/size]

Maybe worth investing in a tech2 as well?

Great idea - I wish you the best of luck.
re a name, good old wikipedia includes the following as part of the definition "Omega is often used to denote the last, the end, or the,  ultimate limit of a set, "in contrast to Alpha, the first letter of the Greek Alphabet. In the New Testament book of Revelation, God is declared to be the "alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last"
"

Soooo, with my limited creativity gene, how about "Ultimate cars" or some other play on ultimate?

Good luck

Pat

Or is that a bit Highbrow for Telford?

Is Mark losing his tech2 almost as soon as he got it?  :'(
