Default I might have to sell up

As above. I might have to sell up. Since having Sam we've been trying to cut back, but we've not done it enough. So, it looks like the scooby will have to go up for sale.

The only way i can think of getting round it is to get a job stacking shelves in the evening or getting a job at the weekend. If anyone knows of anything going or know of anyone who wants to by a scooby let me know.

Cheers,

Matt.

cheers guys. am desperately trying to find ways of keeping the scooby. i just got my pink shirt as well.

have had a few suggestions from mates about taking pics of peoples cars. sell it through ebay. not sure if this would take off though or if i'm good enough to do it commercially. oh well, could be worth a go.

Not good new Matt, hope you work it all out.

Thought about similar also, tis no harm in trying to sell some prints, not gonna cost you anything if it doesn't work....I do the odd portrait session myself, just a bit of pocket money but it all helps....

Anyone want a portrait done

What i had to do
You read my mind baz. i did suggest to the missus that i put the scooby on a limited miles policy to get the usage and insurance down and then get hold of a cheap runner for me to get to work. if i was only using the scooby at the weekend, i'm sure a tank of petrol would last me nearly 2 months.

i've cut down on my mags already. only buy 3 a month now, soon to be 2 when j tuner goes. guess it wouldn't hurt to get shot of the other 2. and i can always start bringing lunch to work.

sky will be going this afternoon and the broadband will be changed. will stick some stuff up on ebay to see what i can get for it.

oh and i'm going to ask the boss for a payrise in a bit.

cheers dave. i've got tonnes of libary shots. it might be worth sticking them on ebay and see what happens.

i've got a superb idea for something that i know will sell. i just can't source the main part of it. ABW might be able to help me there though. will drop him a pm.

What about a chauffer business? I drove my mate to a posh night out in my car, and got alot of looks as I pulled up out side...looks much better than a taxi!

I have often wondered about doing Wedding Chauffering as with my car being white etc.......? Would rather turn up in posh Scooby than limo....!!

cheers mate. won't be car less but would be better to turn up in a scooby. thinking about going back to an rs turbo at the moment. insurance on those is cheap as chips compared to the scooby. plus it was a whole lot cheaper on petrol, and if it goes wrong i can fix it myself and i've already got a shed full of spares from the last one i had

still no news on yours?

i think you could be onto something here. only downside is you'd need hire and reward insurance and that's £s
