ford galaxy

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

It could be because the owner is cheap and didn't want to pay for 2 new ones ;)

The joys of being self employed. I knew there was a reason I stopped doing that a few years ago.
Good luck with your chasing. You'll have to buy a bulldog to take with you when debt collecting in future, that may get you some money in.

You are a bit far away as the brother-in-law is looking for HGV drivers at the moment.
It sucks when customers either disappear without paying or take an age and 100 phone calls to get any money out of them. I know your pain only too well. I had to stop doing it when I had 3 customers vanish in a month leaving me £7.5k out of pocket so I was forced to get a job. I can't say I miss the paperwork and stress but setting your own hours was really nice.
