I certainly hope so!! Great progress Dave, should be good when up and running.

Lets face it, you'd probably get by with customers from here!

Just had a gander at the website, it seems to me that the Vsport on the banner looks a bit big. Maybe make it smaller and add other info to fill the banner up ?

List what the company does on the front of the building

The trick is to get a generic feel to all the signs, letter headings, stickers everything, the brand then starts to grow and gets recognised sometimes subliminally even if you just see the 2 colours together.

Looks quality though mate

Looking like a superb setup there Dave, you only having one ramp? I much prefer working on a 2 poster, but like you said 4 posters do come in handy for certain jobs. I think you will get yourself a good customer base just from CS alone, being a friendly helpful chap should see a few faces coming to get work from you.

Nice work

where I used to work, we had a 2 posted and a 4 poster. the 4 is handy for tracking, exhausts etc, 2 poster is good for services and brake work, stuff like that.

Ideally, if you have the space, get a 2 poster as well, far better than using a beam jack on a 4 poster, when doing brakes or something

Rob, I prefer 4 posters for everything. the ramp gives you somewhere to put your tools while working.

safer as well.

(which they won't do til the ramp is about as old as you)

double safety locks even if a rope snapped the ladder latches would lock out as they have a constant compressed air feed

oooh, snazzy

the ramp we had broke one night, with a car on it, writing off a van (with the cable slicing through the a pillars ) the car under the ramp, and the vw camper on the ramp, all because the safety latches were clogged with dirt, and the ramp was about 20 years old.

thing is though, things like that only happen if you don't look after things, which presumably, with them being your own, you will.

what's going in next? rollers?
