How can I make money whilst travelling on business?

[trade-plates]

I deliver new vehicles to customers throughout
the UK and Europe, and I'm looking for ways to
supplement my income whilst on the move...
two ideas spring to mind, for example:

1. take and sell photos of scenes, buildings,
people, objects, etc

2. offer to display ads on the rear of vehicles, etc

Do you get the idea? Some other business
opportunity, or ideas to combine with my
regular job, and increase my earnings.

What about using your 'fag' quota and buying packets of 200 x Bensons/Superkings whatever and selling them down the pub? not strictly legal of course....

Cheers Wilbert,

Thats a good idea. I haven't done it, but it could
be worth a try.

What about getting a feel for speciality goods in thos countries that you could bring back and sell on ebay. I once tried to play guitar, and bought a very nice guitar in the US. I got bored, and sold it on ebay a little later that year for considerably more that it cost. There may be goods in the countries you visit that have a high attractiveness to UK citizens, but apathy prevents them being available here.
For example, why not liase with a local wedding planner about sourcing them cheap champagne from France for the weddings they organise.
What about bringing import cars back into the UK to sell to UK punters. You could develop a network o overseas dealer contacts and then use these to offer a bespoke EU import delivery service to supplement your return journey.
