hard work doing mobile stuff IMO
you only have to check ebay and see how many people are selling the whole package, vans, equipment the lot to realise


most people around this area simply will not pay what is required for a mobile bloke to make a decent wage.

I can sympathise with that. Keep going down steep banks and the front end scrapes nastily when I get to some flat tarmac At leats mines not painted, yet. Must get it done soon.

You going to the NBO, Ritchie?
