Well its been a few days again so whats been going on?
Work is work, so thats done...although i have agreed with my boss that i can swap the Scenic for an 11 plate Citroen Picasso
One of my colleagues has the car already, but as he started earlier than me he is soon due a new car, which puts that one up for grabs....its a high spec one with climate and the steering wheel that rotates but the centre horn push stays static. Plus its an automatic...so roll on that one and bye bye Renault
On the xm front, it was taken for a wash today and the tyres slicked. Its parked on the drive now looking fantastic as only an xm does
Time depending i fancy a drive out into Manchester again tonight to get some more pictures if i can get the camera working again....it keeps shutting itself off
On the Pallas front, i did a range rover last sunday of which you can find the write up and pictures here

And off the back of the great testimonial i got from the owner on the range rover forum, have scored another one to do next saturday off a different owner
Range rovers are such nice cars to work on as they have large flat panels and the quality of paint finish you can achieve is fantastic as you can see on the pictures.....the only problem is they are so big you have to do the roofs outside, and i cant close the garage door when im working on them as its so big, meaning that in these cold temperatures the garage is just as cold inside as outside....which kind of knocks some of the fun out of it when you hands feel like someone is driving pins into them
Well you'd think id be pretty flush what with a wage rise and cars starting to flow again now that the weather is picking up abit, but alas we are re doing the bathroom.....which means "the lord gives, the lord takes away"
....I wanted to save the money off the cars im doing in a little pot....(the range rovers are nice earning jobs) that way once im up to about a grand if any older citroens come up i can take the opportunity to go older and then sell the xm on to recoup the pot
A nice little Ami, or something like that
