I take it you're not afraid of ruining a manicure or of getting grease, oil, and grime all over you. You might want to look at small restoration garages for employment. Restoration by default implies older cars so you'd be in the right neck of the woods for your interests.

I can imagine, twenty years from now, some guy restoring a 1976 MGB finding little "Porscha!"' QA markings scribbled on the inside of panels indicating they'd been inspected and checked.

Sorry, Monday morning is very busy, so I am always quiet...

Re me (sorry Porscha), and my site, well... some people love it, some hate it. I work on the principle that there are enough customers, so I do not try to please everyone. Though people who deal with me are always pleased - I have 1000+ customer letters published.

I use WhosOn to monitor the website and saw referrals from this site I do my best to jump in wherever people have taken the trouble to discuss my site. I think more businesses should do that.

Built the rocket myself (with hubby Jon) - easy It was nuclear decon truck. V8 7.0, 150bhp, very nice, built in 1970 but no miles. Cost £3500. Petrol. A bit like that lump in the X5 then Hahahaha.

Dragons tried to invest, but I refused them Bannatyne and Farleigh. I siad "I refuse it", twice as they raised their offer. Did the show for publicity. BBC great.

1stnewcar, with all respect, show me your website that sells more than £50m of new cars and I will accept your advice

I would say to Porscha, you need a business plan and you need to stop talking and get on with something. Many people would love to do many things, but most end up working for someone else every day. Go and do it! Risk some money.

SoYank... it is your "rear fog lights" that do it for me. Are they Xenon adaptive ones?

Want to see the pics of booforty getting the keys to his car?

(I'll need some photoshop time to do them justice though)

LOL Well it seems to some on here that sex sells Not really the answer I was looking for.

I've done sales and would have loved it if I'd been selling cars that I personally like! Have no interest to go back into that now though.

Exactely the sort of thing I would be interested in working for the right people!

Not really bothered, no. I do nails myself so know all the tricks of that trade and owning a 30 year old MG I tend to get oil and grease all over me anyway, so hey ho!

Can be a rather well dressed and made up girl when I want to be too!!

Huh? Front headlights are Xenon Adaptive. Rear fogs are standard issue but needed a bit of help with the switch replacement.
