Due to company issues, im having to take quite a hefty pay cut for the next 3 or 4 months, basically just enough to live on. Ive heard from a few people with their own businesses that the second year is the toughest, and its bloody true!

So due to the nova needing about 1300 ish quid to finish it off, its basically pretty much written off my whole season, maybe might get it finished in time for a few events towards the end, but right now i couldnt really give a toss.

Im completely gutted, ive been looking forward to this year more than anything :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh well, needs must and all that.

Brake lines will be braided throughout, not cheap. I basically have no spare money as of yesterday.

I owe Dar money for previous purchases anyway, so any spare cash goes to him first.

maybe you could auction of place's on your roof a bit like i have for the thank you note's on the stick.
Big sheet of white vinal was only ?4 then cut it up stick it on the roof an haypresto cash in the atick.
I would give ya ?20 to write on the roof of ya car it's less than a few pint's on a night out and may start of a trend as a sort of sponcership.
Just an idear fella.
