im not local but good luck and go for it!!

start small - maybe an old site with a workshop and small shop attached - sub-let the garage/workshop side to suplement income and also adds an extra service to your business!!

Places like PARTCO used to supply to most of the motor factors in Lincoln, so that could be a good place to talk to for standard bits, and they usually can supply in 24 hours.

They do a good trade discount too.

Hadrian Panels (CLICKY) are a good non-genuine panel supplier

Good luck mate and if you get a website, I'd seriously consider ordering lotsa stuff from ya

Don't forget to offer a slight discount to TMF regulars

Sorry Guys, Cheers for all the advice, but i think this was just a one off pipeline dream! I realised i have no experience in a shop, let alone running one, and i dont know enough about minis to be succesfull!

Yeah and most people dont know how to swim until they jump into a pool and have a go!

Better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all!
