Greyman 33,010 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Some time ago I stuck some pics up of an electric skyline that a lad I know had built, over the last year or so his company has grown on and is now worth considerable shilling, I’ve been back out and done some more work on extending the unit and building more offices and toilets etc, so for anyone with an interest in all this stuff he’s now got a channel up and running, here is the car that started it off and episode one of his channel 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think he will be bought out within a few years mate, it’s growing big quick, he was talking a five year plan when I first went out there but it’s been valued in the millions in under 2 years, early retirement sounds nice but it’s letting go of your baby that’s tough as you probably no mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
