Cool Never judge a book !

There is a question here..... be pateint.


ok have had "16" for 2 years now, was origianlly in telcoms, even though, my boss always gave me stick.

Then I got made redundent, and I was sure glad that my s2 cab was also a great daily driver, a FPSH has its advantages.

got major stick whilst I was inbetween jobs, did some security guarding work. Again, some ppl wre nice others just treats you like crap. then the first day I pulled into work with the top down and I knew eyes were popping.

The facility manager who drove a Fiat Tippo always used to say
"Why would a security guard drive around in a Porsche ?"
"well cos I'm a drug pusher on the weekends I used to reply sarcasticlly"

Why do people assume you are what you are cos of the job you do ?

Anyway, back in Telco's now

so my question is.....

Have you seen or heard of other people who drove cars (owned them) which didnt match there job.

Ie a toilet cleaner driving a Bentley Turbo, or Heart surgeon driving a £30 battered mini

off you go

I saw a bus driver on tv who owned a Ferrari from new.

I knew a waiter who ran a newish (at the time) 944 turbo. A hotel reception clerk with a Renault GTA

I know a scruffy hand car wash place where the manager/owner keeps three Ferraris.

These three were the most extreme but I've come across lots of others. Same thing with people and their homes. One of my clients is very rich and succesful, he lives in a small two bed flat with his wife and son in a very ordinary neighbourhood on the main road. I've learned the hard way not to judge too fast by appearances.

And then there's the other side of the spectrum: the old dead guy who owned Wal Mart, who drove an old Chevy pick up.
