    My new job/venture - discount!

    LOAD's of crap going on with my old company/mag i worked for so decided it was time to move on, it got to the stage well beyond "if" but more like "when". Had something lined up a German tuner but that went t1ts up right at last minute, one of their big race sponsors pulled out because of the credit crunch and that in itself led to redundancys.

    Anyway, looked at various things but as most of you prob know, the job market is on its ***** at the mo. It got to the stage where I HAD to leave my job as it had gone past ridiculous so decided to bite the bullet and go self employed, nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that.

    So, this is the new venture, I've hooked up with an established US tuning & parts company and we've just set up Vivid Racing UK.

    Check it out, let me know your thoughts on the website, it still needs a bit of tweaking for it to be completed just yet (theres masses of stuff going on on there)but needless to say if anyone wanted anything, there'll be discount for forum members.

    You'll not really find anything S2 related but would apprieciate it if you spread the word.



    cheers
    Darren

    good move!
    You can't beat working for yourself.
    Site looks good too - your vernier cam gears seem like really good value - got a set for a zetec back top? I might be one of your first customers!

                        Good luck on your new venture.

                        Re the Web Site, just change the spelling of tires to tyres and loose the reference to $ to keep it looking UK rather than US also the phone number 'please contact us at 1-480-966-3040'

                        Hope this helps

                          Good luck to you Darren - its a tough environment for a small business at the best of times - so I hope it goes well for you.

                          I've hummed and hahhed about doing something myself for a long time, but thats another story.

                            Thanks for the kind words and feedback, it SHOULD pick up that its being viewed from a UK server and prices should automatically be translated to £££'s rather that $$$'s. (its actually linked to their current US site to save redesigning a whole new .co.uk site)

                            This should also incorporate my UK tel number and contact details as well. Are UK people not getting this? IE - Are they still getting US contact details and prices?

                            Regarding the speed, it seems OK on mine (Im on a 10mb broadband package), it maybe coz theirs so much going on, i'll check with the programmer.

                            Thanx for your help..

                              All seem OK, just the wheels and tyres bit that is obviously US linked.
