For some reason that just made me think of an old 80s song by a one-hit-wonder called Rockwell which featured Michael Jackson background singing as well, the song's called "Somebody's Watching Me"!

"It always feels like... Somebody's watching me!"

Just my opinion though, and am sure you and daddy are wonderful chaps

It's not just a case or 'BREAKING' down its for transporting cars about as well. And for the spelling you should check other posts and i'm sure alot of other people spell things wrong! Mr Perfect!

Is not too bad mate, i know of people that stupidly havent had break down cover and have had to pay150-200 just to get trailered home. Only thing is, what are the chances od people havin your number when they do break down/crash.

If i was you i would run an ebay collection service.

Charge 'X' amount per mile and when people buy cars on ebay you go and collect and deliver them

yeah sounds good, i'd put a number in the advertising places, also going to do small buisness cards i think hand them out to work people, fiends, family etc, i know like langey struggled to get his car to lee mitchell etc and a few other people, could come quite handy for sure. Just need to advertise in the correct places and charge the rite amount.
