  3. Dojo is another brand to consider, I know a few people who use it and are happy, although, as mentioned, all these operators are competing with each other so will have to keep their costs and features similar. Also as mentioned, you really need to have a card reader for even a small amount of sales as so many people - even tech-dinosaurs such as me - pay electronically. It doesn't prevent people still being able to pay in cash. This latter point is one that I futilely make to my barber: she stubbornly remains cash-only, her argument being that "a lot of her customers like paying in cash". Well, they obviously will as there is no option. I have said that she'd be surprised by the number who would pay electronically if it were an option, plus the benefits of not handling cash (bank runs, having loads of change etc.) but she won't have it... Let us know what you end up with and how you get on.
  4. Another repair option: Cut a square(ish, it doesn't need to be precise) piece of ply or similar, place on the underside of the cab top and fix the handle to this. Use a dome-headed machine screw (this will probably look right on the handle), a washer and a nylock nut. No need to fill the existing torn hole and the wooden piece will help spread the load. Good luck. Edit: obviously will only work if there is access and space. If you can't fit in the piece of wood, there may still be room for the washer and nut, though. Further thought: it may be woth taking the preventative step of repeating the process on the other fixing; it would be frustrating if your repair held but then the other end of the handle ripped out.
  5. Classic. Ticks all the boxes for me: nice 3-tone sunburst and a really dark rosewood board. The changed pickguard and knobs look absolutely fine; the full-sized reverse-wind tuners and the threaded saddles are a real bonus. This will not hang around.
  6. It's a shame that she sounds as she does but this is inevitable for most singers as they age. I heard her (on't telly) at Glastonbury, I think it was, a while back and she didn't sound brilliant then. It'll be interesting to hear Elton John this weekend.

  8. Norm has just bought some footwear from me, he's great guy to deal with: good comms and payment, a real credit to Basschat.
  9. As soon I saw Tom's ad for his Volvo V50 I had a feeling that it would be a good, reliable car and exactly as described, as well as just the type of practical car that I was after. Frustratingly, I wasn't in a position to buy and was sure that it would quickly be snapped up, especially when he twice dropped the price. I managed to convince (didn't take much, actually) my wife's nephew that he would love to own my Mk1 Audi TT, so I immediately messaged Tom who gave me a call and we had a good chat about the car and said he would put it on hold until I could meet him in a week's time. I sent Tom a few questions that came to me as I did my Volvo V50 research over the week and Tom replied quickly and in great detail. Yesterday, I drove to Leeds, left the TT with its new owner who then drove us to Tom's, near Middlesborough. Tom is a real gent, had a good chat with us about the car and all sorts of other stuff. The V50 was just as he described, in really good condition, I had no doubt that I would be going home in it. We did the admin, fortified by coffe made by Mrs Tom, said our goodbyes and my new toy took me back to north Wales in comfort and economy. I would strongly and without hesitation recommend dealing with Tom, he's a star. .

  11. Lovely. There seem to be fewer and fewer Leo-era G&Ls for sale nowadays, much less the obscure models such as this. I wonder how many S500 were brought in to the UK? As you say, it's in immaculate condition, nice to see the patent sticker intact - although they didn't all have one fitted, apparently - and the deep body contours that these era G&Ls had. This would be an ideal partner to my 1987 ASAT and SC-3 but I'm trying to get rid of stuff not acquire more. I'm sure someone will be keen to have it, though, and it will soon sell. A great bit of history. Kevin.
