Kingsbridge... Part of my delivery route.

Well I had the bumper scuffs done today, wow the car looks fab now!

I'm going to order some shiny new indicator lenses now, then next week I'm getting the valetors in!

Hello,
Looking great

New front indicators will just finish it off.
You must be pleased.
Cheers

Where do you deliver to mate? Maybe we can meet up some time?

Bumpers look good, how much did that set you back?

Cheers!

Car is looking good Marc I saw you about 8ish on the totnes road I flashed you but I think you were too busy looked like you were picking up youre phone or something else that had dropped in the footwell lol.car is nice

I was just on my way home from work, via Sainsburys!
Sorry I missed you.. been a busy day trying to navigate through grockles whilst being slowly cooked in my van!

I want to polish the car because it's covered in dust from the guy sanding the bumpers yesterday, but he told me not to wash it for at least a week.

@Phatboy I deliver parcels for a courier firm, and my route covers the TQ6 to TQ8 post codes (Dartmouth/dittisham to Salcombe area) so you name it, I've delivered there!

I paid £178 in the end, he did the front bumper, and the top of the rear bumper to, even looking closely and you can't see any sign of the old scuffs, he did an excellent job indeed.

Ahhhhh I don't envy you Marc most of my working life has been stuck behind a steering wheel aswell,and it's murder in the heat,I used to work for refurnish driving their vans and delivering furniture up and down steps,sometimes through windows depending on the places,if it wasn't for my drivers mate I wouldn't of got through it sometimes no time to eat lunch due to traffic gridlocked Torbay and surrounding areas

,then a stint at driving coaches and busses which was good because of the characters that would get on,I don't miss the furniture delivery job one iota tbh.the traffic around today was pretty bad. Who did youre work dr bump on the industrial estate,Arlington body shop is very good aswell in Preston

,it looked pretty good Marc

Marc, you've prob delivered to me then, I get a lot of parcels from the internet etc lol!
Will PM my address so you can see if you've been here

@Kieran It was Liquid Finish in South Brent.
He spent a good 4 hours, and even got a job from my neighbour!

I did have the Paignton route for Citylink a few years back, but the holiday traffic drove me crazy, so I left and opted for a mainly rural route.
Now I get to deliver to bored housewives in the back of beyond!

@Phatboy I have to say the names are familiar... but then again I see so many names and faces they all blend into one!
I'll keep my eyes open tomorrow though!
