radio 80 pounds

offer for 3 weeks to get you started : 135 pounds car and ins , 50 pounds radio.

cheers

Doesn't sound too bad, but of course it all depends on how much work you get for it. If you get a grand a week in work then clearly that's good, but if you get half that then once you've paid your fuel and all the rest then you'll be left with very little.

And in the longer run don't forget you could run, maintain and insure a decent car for around a £100 a week.

But the only way to find answer all these questions definitively is to give it a go. :)
