As a business starting out and going into the dormant seasons of late fall/winter/early spring, it can get pretty tough. I’ll wait for any of them to post rather than let assumptions fly (even if they’re right).

LOL had nothing to to with advertisement fees. They spent well over a 2 grand on equipment to start the service, I doubt the $40 or what ever it is for advertisement was an issue.

Things progress. Networking with the right people = success. This strictly a case of moving forward and being efficient.

They were only working out of their cold garage doing what ever work came up here and there. IE not very efficient. So teaming up with us saves them on advertisement, and use of our facility works out much better for them, hopefully turning out more work.

Oh you are around? I though you went into hiding as you never posted after my reply in the other thread that you were so interested in making me look like the asshole Pete. Sorry Dave? Ah all the same.

And until you actually pay me, you have no business poking fun at my advertising prices you agreed to, as it’s very hard to beat **free**.

With any questions or concerns PM sponsors that are happy to pay for sponsorship to support running a local site and get business back out of it.

I heard you are selling the Audi in order to pay for advertising. Fact or fiction? Also heard PJB is buying it??
