Blackbird Spares is selling up!!!!

[1200Pete]

Well, it has been fun, but now I have had enough. After working for years without a holiday and continuing to work with broken bones etc. It is now time to quit. I would like to thank all the people who suported us. Blackbird Spares as from next week will no longer be trading. I am looking to sell the business as a going concern, so there will not be any last minute bargins. But if anybody is interested in a change of lifestyle, it is an excellent business opportunity available here. I am currently at home recovering from a bone graft operation. If anybody is interested in buying the business, please contact Brett at Blackbird Spares and he will pass any messages onto me.
I do not have any internet access at home, so it may be a couple of days before I can get back to this post.

Good luck Pete

you've done wonders for the Blackbird and bringing lots of new and fantastic ideas to the fore. I can only repeat what everybody else has said and wish you all the best. I know from our conversations that you've had some crap to contend with and you need to look after number one.

Have a good rest and do keep in touch, it would be lovely to know what you're doing.

Take care,

:xm sorry to hear pete, but you, your health and your family must come first.

A friend of mine lost his business after an accident on the road, 2 years later he is back on his feet, working for someone else and is happy now someone else has all the hassle of being the boss and dealing with all the hassles

Thanks again for all assistance offer not just for the BIRD

[Fat Bert]

Sorry to read this Pete

but know where you're coming from

Trying to make a living as an independant "reseller" gets more difficult each day

Wish you and Lenka well - keep in touch?

 

[Jaws]

Pete, its been a total blast mate !

I am sure someone will come along and take it all on lock stock and barrel but I bet whoever it is they will not make me grin half as much as I have when we get on the fone to each other LOL !

 

[Jono]

Pete, I can only echo what has already been said. Thanks for all the help, advice, and bits, and providing an excellent service. Wish you all the best for the future and good health, :bow: :bow: :bow:

[Taz CBR1100XX]

Yo Pete - on the one hand I'm sorry to hear that you're packing it in after being around for so long helping people out and doing what you do in the way that you do it - BUT - on the other hand I'm envious of you because there's nothing I'd like more than to say "I've had enough - I'm gone" - just before I bugger off abroad - maybe soon c7u8

Good luck in your new venture whatever it may be and give yersen a BIG pat on the back for being such a nice bloke :yo: Take it easy dude :bow:
