QUOTE 9 times out of 10 it is cheaper and easier to buy a new one rather than repair an old one QUOTE Yep well worth paying £200 - £900 for a £5.00 lead makes sense . A bit like replacing your lighting effect cos the blub has blown. You must have the odd 1 out of 10 !! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
That reminds me, how much are Moonflowers or is it the fuse LOL http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/blink.gif

I keep the van locked away most of the time, with 2 alarms switched on.
So Mikee is the closest to my 187,000 miles and I've still got another 55,000 miles to go to catch my record up !!

9 times out of 10 it is cheaper and easier to buy a new one rather than repair an old one, no doubt Chris will disagree and recommend a repair on it, I'm getting lazy and just buy new each time.

QUOTE Another good thing about trailers is that you can put your Name and number all over it-free advertising
I have a van with my name plastered all over it and a car with my wife's company on it too, it's not just trailers that you can put signwriting on http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Keep a van.alway had them from LWB Nissans to Escorts, and get a diesel as I swear by them
Last four modes of transport to gigs and milage when sold are
Ford Escort Van 253,000 miles
Nissan Urvan 161,000 miles
Vauxhall Carlton 163,000 miles
Vauxhall Astra 187,000 and still going strong !!
Anyone got a higher milage vehicle ?

Try this Website for your insurance needs. I pay (I think) about £250 to £300 for PLI to £1m
(they will not increase to £5m) AND all my gear insured (£8k) including in transit and situ.
Hope this helps

I think we all agree that the best route is the roadie one, I think 95% of DJ's start this way, I know I did 20 years ago. You can be sure you don't mind giving up every Friday and Saturday whilst your mates are out on the town and that you really want to do it. Also the hardest part of the show for any new DJ is the talking and as it is the bit that will get you repeat bookings it has to be right, so pratice makes perfect (although nobody is perfect). Some other good tips are to record yourself onto MD and listen to it over and over again to pick up on bits and pieces of your show and improve it.

Chris, off the subject somewhat but as you ship your goods do you ship overseas ? I have a package that needs to go to Greece and I wonder who you use ?
