It's one of those magic pictures you had as a kid that you have to stare at for ages to get the hidden image/message! Took Me 4 hours  :stupid:

I'm opening up my own place from Monday hopefully.

Very excited to finally do it.  Been a lot of hard work setting it all up.  Doing all the electrics this weekend and fitting a ramp.  Fabrication room is all done, alarm is going in on Friday then I'm all set.

Pics to follow  :grin:

Alex... have you got a alignment rig? How much for a setup? (presumably a bit more competitive than BDM was)

Good luck with the new company, hope it all goes well for you.

Cheers Rich.  Not got my own alignment setup, but I'm sorting out something with a local company that does so I can use their equipment, but do the alignments myself how I want them to be using my experience.

If my car isn't setup to a standard that I am happy with would it be my own fault for not having a car with double wishbones like a x bow or Lamborghini like was suggested to me after a recent alignment?  :stupid:

The Cupra will be available any time from Saturday night Alex  :smiley: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Best of luck with your new venture Alex, it's a brave thing to cut the rope and set off down that road.

I'm sure with the ongoing support of everybody on here it'll be a great success, that support is definetely deserved with all the free advice and help you offer on here.

If I can help in any way mate let me know.

Words to that effect, it was BDM but not Alex that said that.  "Thats the problem with these cars, theyre only single wishbone so dont set up very well" I think were the words used  :stupid: :fighting:

Alex is doing it for me in the comming week aswell as fitting my diff  :jumping:
