Goodbye to Unit 3.

Lummox · 03-08-2008, 08:19

There have been fun times

But all things come to an end

But new things start, just about to sign a new lease on Unit 18

No pics as yet but room for about six cars, two ramps, benches and desks etc. So i'll be looking forward to being able to offer a better kinda 'service' to Briskodians and the like in hopefully the not too distant future as we as the usual cruise control retrofit etc.

Very excited as it means I can plough on with the current projects (Golf 20vt, Big turbo Octavia 4x4, Fabia vRS estate) and do some day to day work to pay the rent etc. Finallly some space

Its a big move, a little daunting to say the least. Will still be doing my day job to start with until the client list builds up (hopefully it will) and then who knows what may happen. Guess i'll have to become a Briskoda partner...lol.

Good luck for the future Ross .......what will this venture be called ? surely not Lummox motors

Lummox · 03-08-2008, 08:49

Will have to decide that when/if the time comes. Maybe even something Briskoda based who knows. Might just be pipe dreams at the moment but we shall see.

Octygone · 03-08-2008, 08:55

Just thought ....looks like you already have the cleaning/detailing sorted from your other thread .....

Lummox · 03-08-2008, 08:57

lol, my apprentice

smstext · 03-08-2008, 09:20

just think of all that metal you gonna have to move, good luck mate!!

bengie · 03-08-2008, 09:33

all hail the future, let me know if you need a hand moving and I'll endeavor to be there

Chris_Argyle · 03-08-2008, 09:40

Good luck mate. If you were a little closer you would have my business!

oilburninnut · 03-08-2008, 09:56

good luck mate,i'm sure with your talents,success is but a moment away

monkeychild · 03-08-2008, 10:02

Nice one Ross

The guy who fitted my cruise did something similar to your goodself. He now has a constant flow of folk down to word of mouth and does a bloody good job (like your good self) So good look I seriously hope your business takes off

Babs · 03-08-2008, 10:39

Good luck with it all

Dr Zoidberg · 03-08-2008, 10:53

Excellent news.

Soon you'll have a team of minions working for you.

Taxi 219 · 03-08-2008, 11:47

"Brisky Garage"

Anyway..good luck mate.Hope the new place brings good luck to you

ruku · 03-08-2008, 12:01

You're going to do great mate!

auroan · 03-08-2008, 12:15

Nice one Ross, I'm sure things will work out

Good luck !!!

smstext · 03-08-2008, 13:43

yeap i reckon brisky days, then vag days and before you know it

mattbeef · 03-08-2008, 14:22

you will be fine mate, must be daunting but if you start charging storage for that Octavia you still have littering the unit you will be fine

I could retire now if I charged storage for the old ambulance, not to mention lost revenue due to my unit being filled with it

Basil · 03-08-2008, 20:22

You're a big guy mate (not just in stature) - was really glad to hear of this move upward.

One day you're gonna own a really huge VAG garage with a great rep- we'd better be extra nice to you right from now

Kaiserb_uk · 03-08-2008, 20:24

Good luck with the move!

Chris GB · 05-08-2008, 10:56

Best of luck in your new venture!

Chris

Tom_vRS · 05-08-2008, 11:16

Awesome stuff Ross, exciting times for sure.

I like the sound of "Unit 18 Automotive" or something like that, but if you ever moved it would be a bit stupid!

All the best of luck with it mate

faboka vrs · 05-08-2008, 11:35

Good luck Ross. Just think. 4 years ago you did my brakes on your mum and dads drive.

cheezemonkhai · 05-08-2008, 11:36

Good luck with it all.

Certainly worth a visit if ever major work is needed

ZootyRS · 05-08-2008, 12:33

Good luck!
