Thanks Dave, I quiet enjoy it really, this and planning the trips. My Graphic/Web Design company I’m done with, after 25 years it just doesn’t enthuse me anymore. The staff run that now so I just do the finances.
So I’ve turned my time to the forum to give it a shove and see where it goes,..hence the raft of products that have appeared lately.
Next up are SM car covers for 3200/4200/Spyder/GS/QP/GT
Believe it or not I will be making these myself. Made from the same Spanex material and fit as the OEM, in black, SM logo and the piping will be the Italian stripe.
I’ve always been interested in leather interior work so I’ve ordered an industrial sewing machine capable of going through 7 layers of leather and been training online for the last year. The car covers will be simple in comparison to the leather work.
I’ve also purchased a 3D printer. We do CAD and 3D modelling so it seemed an logical choice. What I’m going to do with it I’m not sure. Get it out of the box probably a good start!
The Euro trips I love planning (with the assistance of Zep) and so far have been a roaring success.
As this is pretty much a full time job for me now there are margins on the products but still stupidly cheep. The trips to date I do for free but negotiate free rooms and ferries as part of the deal which negates the need for insurance...just though it best to be transparent.
Strange how things work out!
