6 years ago I finnaly decided to go it alone in the tourism industry, a huge move up here.
I had a 80 series and a
camp trailer full of gear, I was wondering if it was a good move or not.
Well today I pick up my 4th truck a 03 100series diesel with 70,000 kms, the good part is that
Bridge Auto's have put there name to the extended warranty, that takes it to 150,000 and another 3 years even for commercial use, I don't have to have it serviced at their work
shop.
I'm feeling quite proud.
Steve.

Congats mate sounds like its going
well...... but I have had an extended warranty and it was not worth the paper it was written on, hope yours is different but most of them are bs.
Cheers

Congratulations Steve!!!!!!!
You really must be feeling so proud of yourself because of what you've accomplished! I can imagine how scary it must have been taking that first step and freaking out whether you are going to make it or fall flat on your face.
Well look at where you are now! You really must feel very chuffed!
So do tell all!!!!!
Cheers
Jo

Good one Steve,
Sounds like the Darwinians are looking after you!
Anyways, thanks for making that connection for me - proposal about to go to client - the marvels of modern communications.
Cheers
Andrew.

Steve, you've done very very
well, in this day and age thats quite an achievement.
As a fellow EO member I am worried about the coping mechanisms you are using to try and restrain your joy. Buying Toyota's is a time proven antidote to feeling good and you will soon be feeling normal and the euphoria from having a successful business will soon be dealt with by your Toyota purchase.
My concern is that for normal euphoria the dose is 40000km and I note that you are taking the full 80000km dose. I would caution you on this as there is only one recorded example of such level of euphoria and that was back years ago when Roachie met Annette and he showed her his Nissan.
Be sure to have at least one, maybe two, Nissan Patrols ready for immediate purchase to lift your flagging spirits once you reach 150000km. It is the least I can do to warn you. This is something that you shouldnt toy with its serious. hahahaha

Congratulations Steve, I used to do outback tours myself for about 15 years, so know how much effort and time you must have put in to it.
You must have a good 'behind the scenes' team as
well!

Scary stuff, but I'm sure we'll have a great season!
