For today's post I thought I would show you some progress in a more visual way. I found that when I set out in business HOURS could be spent working on something... but that effort wouldn't show in a physical way. It doesn't make the work any less important, but still, sometimes it's nice to see your blood, sweat and tears pay off!
When I finally decided to launch the business, I started looking for vehicles. Price was fairly restricting so instead of looking for a brand new bus with a few too many zeros on the end, I started looking for one with potential. I came across one on DoneDeal (no surprise there) that had been used as a school bus. With low mileage and one of the friendliest drivers I've ever met, I decided this was the one.
And this is what she looked like...

So first the letters came off...
Then the rust, and the tyres and skirtings got painted...
Then the logo went on and the blue disappeared...
And finally the transformation was complete!
Time to really start 'monkeying around' and get the business on the road. So far, the business mainly caters to Hen & Stag parties, guided tours and concert & event travel. But the more the word gets out there, the more the phone rings. It's 2014 now (can you believe it!) and things are only getting warmed up... It's still a recession though, meaning it's about time the customer was king again.
The plan now is to get more vehicles on the road and keep catering to special requests... Let's have some fun with this! :)
