DO it.
But plan it out to the finest detail possible, buisness plan etc. -
what you want to do & offer. Rent / mortguage, Buisness Rates, Accounts - book keeping etc. utilities. suppliers.
When I tried to go self employed the 1st time I didnt do all of this and ended up in a bit of a mess, both financially and personally. - I'm now all sorted, work for myself (Design Engineer), ive never been better off or a un-stressed, well i do get stressed but its a different kind, as its my doing and my problem to solve.
equipment - coffee machines arn't cheap, need regular serving, shop around for a decent coffee & machine deal or do it all seperate - so your not tied in with one company and can shop around.
make sure you have reserve for the bad months (which you may well get).
sell pie. (seroiusly, all the pubs round here do a "pie day". homemade pie, chips or mash with veg for £6-£8 and they are rammed on that day.
also is there a pub in the village? micro pubs are pretty damn popular.
sorry if I'm explaining how to suck ones chicken offspring.
best of luck to you!

You don't like to keep things simple do you. Not sure what you mean by that? its all pretty simple, no wheel re-inventing going on. I had a pre converted engine loom to reference to, and a very good unadulterated loom to adulterate. Traced all the wires back to their connectors, bit of cross checking with the haynes book of lies, solder and heatshrink, loom is partly re wrapped now just need to make sure it all fits where i want it to.

For me a decent chassis, but a good handling is subjective to the person driving it.
keeping a car without much power on the boil is hillarious fun,

Not alot you can do there.
superglue in the garage door lock when his pride an joy is locked in there does spring to mind...and witness the joy of him trying to open the door, then having to call a locksmith or breaking in (at which point you as the dillegent local resident phone the police about a man breaking into the garages near you)even better if you pick a suitably wet and horrible day (harder for you to recognise said muppet when you call the police and he gets wet, cold and even miserablerererer).
I'd possibly use a two part epoxy type glue....
But thats damaging the property of the garage owner.
a very large Traffic cone (or the big yellow ones used to cover live lamp post wires) filled with concrete placed in front of his garage door would be equally as amusing.

I understand your stuggle with silicone bodgery, the flashing on the rear bay window was smothered in it, what appered to be a full tube bewteen the end of the bath and the wall to fill the gap, Oh and down the corners OF EVERY SODDING ROOM in the house where the plaster had shrunk & cracked.
top work! I refuse to (and am banned by Mrs TheWall) go anywhere near our roof / chimney.

As Welshpug says. 10w40, a good quality semi sytnthetic will be fine. and will cope with track work on a standard / mildly tuned engine.

So Naked loom. it seems some muppet has been here before me or even before it got converted to work in an S1 106 (many moons ago by Cobblers of this very parish) bit more hunting around the looms, repairing odd bits, went to look for a bit of wire in the Big-Box-of-Many-Many-Peugeot-Looms. to my suprise found a very very clean 106 Gti loom i purchased ages ago and had started to convert it to an S1 106. delved into it and it has not been curse word around with in any way. HHhhhuuuzzzzzahhh! que a few hours of me unpicking both looms and finding what goes where. hopefully more loom solderyness this eve after ive finished thebrakes off on my brothers Modern Swift.

SO this Happened. not without issues. bit of exhaust needs fabbing up & welding in. Problem. "easy just need a bit of tube...curse word ive not got anythe right size" more hunting around the workshop. "I do have a bigger bit" Solution. take one perfectly serviceable if too big bit of stainless tube, Ruin it. clampy, clampy, dress round with hammer weld it up. then trim to suit, forget to take pictures and discover problem 2 once iverefitted everytrhing. Problem 2 car runs on 2 cylinders...its got 4. bizzarly its the inner 2 that don't fire, que lots of stripping down the inlet to get to the injectors whilst swearing, test the wires, build the curse word back up, mess around swapping fuel pump relays. SUCSESS! it runs on 4... Oh wait, no it doesnt, get angry have a Mug of Tea and a biscuit. "..Right bugrit engine looms coming off.." - several years of rattling round the countryside, a small oil fire, water, heat more water and being elderly and french wont be helping. thus far i have the loom off and hiding in a box under the car. The current plan is to have the car ready (in its badly painted, scabby bumpered glory) for the BHP & BBQ car meet the motorclub are putting on (see events section!).

Some mighty good work occuring here! You looking to use it on gravel or tar? id be tempted to fab up & fit some strut top reinforcing plates & stitch inside & outside of the strut top bottom (if that makes any scence!)
