Time to hang up the boots...
just to let everyone know that I'm no longer going to be doing vinyl graphic car kits, fitted or just supplied.
I have enough of being f*** around, people who cant wait and then moan that stuff aint sticking even tho i had warned the conditions were not right, people moaning about the price. I've taken all that I can now for the 6 years I've been doing
When I look back I think of Tiny's car, the first time I did one, the 'prototype' where I also discovered my long lost Bro in Tiny and still my favourite then the list just went on and on, Spec C, Phil's STI, Spally, Rob Roy, ScoobyWilf, Bubs, to name just a few
I will still be able to do plates and the window stickers and other stuff, just not the full car kits, time to let others have that fun

He was very busy last year, I know I contacted him during the drift car preparations he was doing and I think he had just moved workshops too. I spotted his car a few times and it was only half finished for ages with the amount of other work he had on. Worth the wait but can be frustrating

Mark I appreciated what you did for me on the 03 I've lost count how many people I've sent your way but if they were half as happy as I they must have been well pleased

I may not be Marks closest mate but in the years I've known him he does what he can where he can and when he does do a job it's well worth the wait. So Looie ya missed out

Wow what a decision you have been the ESC Main Man for many many years and it goes without saying the Pink Sti
Marks Photoshoping skils weren't bad either
Even when they were removed to make way for the latest SIDC Stuff Robbie at ClassA was very respectful of Marks work with not a single bit of paint removed.
Good luck in your "retirement" Mate

that's a shame Mark.. top class work on the graphics you put onto mine....started off with just the swoosh then with some gentle nudging ended up with the full graphics.
can understand though fella, must have been frustrating when people just dont want to listen to you.

thanks for all the kind words and memories
Every car that I have worked on has been a pleasure to do and even more so the looks on all your faces once the final product has been done.
Tiny's Phase II graphics were just like doing it the first time round, seeing a legend becoming with every sticker that went on.
A major factor in the decision is that I have no where inside to do the fitting which makes it hard to be able to set a date and do it, i hate letting people down.
ABW kindly offers his unit but its a bit of a trek for me to go back and forth, pus in the height of summer my whole weekends are taken up with stickers or car shows. i want to spend some time with my wife at the weekends nowadays
