Default Sick and tired

After best part of the day spent cleaning out the coolant system on someone else's car following replacement of a defective oil cooler, and looking at my house which resembles a scrap yard I have decided enough is enough.

Once I have completed all of the outstanding work I have at the moment, I am going to stand down as a trader, I no longer wish to carry on as I am at the moment.

Can I take this opportunity to thank everyone who I have had the pleasure of dealing with over the past few years, and wish everyone a safe and happy future.

All of the best

Brian

Your resolute services will be sorely missed....
Will you still be available for ecu superhero work?

I want to be the first to thank you for what you have already done for the club and it's membership....

Family and health first Brian. Many thanks for all your help given, not only to me but to the countless others that you have helped over the years.

You need to do what's best for you Bri, I hope you will still go to the club meets though Sir

Nothing worse than doing work that you no longer enjoy, hopefully a break from other peoples cars will perk you up.

Good luck whatever you decide mate

Brian, I doubt I will be the first or the last to say that you stepping down will be a major blow. However, I also think that like many people you have put others and their cars first and deserve a well earned break, either temporary or permanent. Hope that one day you will feel the need to get your hands dirty again, but until then my thanks for all you have done for the members and their cars.

Sorry to read this, hope you will still have sufficient energy to continue insulting my Snot Green Supertallic! Mind you it could have been a worse colour, Harvest Gold springs to mind.

No, I will be available for nothing whatsoever, zip, nada, nothing

Once my current jobs are finished, I shall be scrapping all of my gear, I simply do not wish to continue in any form

That will a sad day to see you go Brian. I have never met you but your knowledge you have shared has been priceless.
All the best for the future buddy and thank you for all the hard work you have put into keeping our cars alive over the years.
Johnny
