TangoVictor32 90 Posted September 29, 2019 Another one of my boring topics... I know some of you trade part time. Was wondering if anyone has other jobs or job like hobby? Am in to house renovations and spend about 60% of the week on that. Love doing DIY and its easier working on a house with lots of space than fixing something under the bonnet and cutting your hands 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My last proper bike was a GSXR1000, before that an R1 - now I have got a Vespa 125. I am not a very good rider to be honest, so didn't get the best out biking - plus I looked like Shamu when I put my leathers on.

tradegirl 112 Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) I spent 2 hours in the gym this morning. The only upside to the rain and having no covered unit to work in. Doesn't look like the rain is going to stop any time soon, either. Edited October 1, 2019 by tradegirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raining now and just sold two in the last hour , Buying them is fecking hard though , Might have to buy a few Water Skiing boats , Thought about selling caravans for two milliseconds , but i don't think i could with all honesty talk to people about where the bloody bed is , how big the cooker is and can you get three people in a cold shower for a group cuddle . 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I toyed with the idea of selling caravans, having owned 3 for a year each and always sold much higher than bought (and no margin because they were mine and I wasn't in the trade). But damp is your enemy, equivalent to DPF/EGR's etc and you're right - could you chat caravan talk all day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
