lets hope so!!!

can get the v6 stripped down now so the inlet can be opend up, polished inside and out and a few other bits fitted to gain me a few more bhp!!

215 just isnt enough!!!!

ill still be doing the parts and getting a website i hope, but for a month or two whilst i learn the job they will have to the take the back burner!!!

at the moment there is a full time and a part time person in place, full time person is leaving in august, part time person may be leaving shorlty afterwards!
and that will just leave me!!!!

i must of answered the questions right and really impressed in to two interviews as they have me a grand more than they advertised the salery at!!

sounds that way, but also sounds like they want to change the way alot of things are done and need some one that wont be afraid of telling a pushy cocky saleman to do one!
