Ideas
I am a precision engineer (no piss taking!) and our company repairs and makes plastic mould tools and die cast tools. Due to cheap labour and cheaper taxes nearly all our work has gone abroad,China,Romania etc
This is a last throw of the dice really for our company (7 of us) is there any of you lot out there who work for companies that could put any work our way, or do you have an idea of what the market (vw or not) may need as we could make our own products?
If anybody wants more of a clarification of what we do or can do then give me a pm.
We also do general engineering too,as we have a fully operational workshop, just sorted out Fonz's wheel clearance on his Granada wheels for his Bay
The worst i can say is no we cant do it, but hey im an optamist it will be ready at the end of today
Come on guys nothing ventured,nothing gained

You have two choices in life:
You can stay single and be miserable,
or get married and wish you were dead.
