So many in fact that I wondered if you were yet another dreamer.

Boy was I wrong. :lol:
Nope. I wasn't wrong after all.

when your not well enough to do the job, something has to go,

since Christmas, i have taken in just under 6K, after i have paid for unit/elec/rates etc costing me more to be here than its worth to keep the cars,

there comes a time when you have to make a decision

Fair play, and it is a personal decision and it depends very much on your predicament at the time.

Hope you stay in the club and in the hobby in general, and that things turn around....

Yeah, had bad back problems, but that seems to have eased now i have stopped driving as much and started walking, but the all over pain has been there for a while and getting worse, been for loads of blood tests and x rays past 8 years, and they have found nothing just put me on co-codamol and Ibrufen, but gradually got use to them,

finally diagnosed it about 4 months ago as Fibromyalgia, so now taking Duloxetine, Naproxen, and Tramadol, which seem to ease the pain, but leave me tired so dont get much work done through day, without loads of breaks plus cannot sleep to well,

finally decided that i probably wont get all these cars done so might as well cut my losses and sell as storing them would cost more than there worth, plus dont know how much longer i will be able to do the job,

so there it is, might have someone else lined up on the Challenger to carry on with it

Paul.

Sorry to hear that diagnosis, chap. I have a friend with that condition. I hope the treatments relieve the symptoms for you.
