I bought a 1.8 Fiesta Diesel off eBay lastnight. Do you reckon if I feed it after midnight AND wash it, it will turn into a brace of M5's? :)

I would guess that like a high percentage of people on here, he either runs his own business or is highly skilled in one trade or another and paid appropriately :)

Actually, what I do for a living is kinda irrelevant here. I have a lot of credit cards with large limits. So, I took a punt on a second car, figuring there's some profit in there in one of them... I have no debt aside from my mortgage, and my wife knows I'm pretty conservative in what I buy, and haven't yet lost any money, so she's cool about it. Basically, I fund my hobbies (hifi, cars, bikes etc.) by buying and selling on eBay/Autotrader etc.

For the record, however, I am a Sales Director at a tv content security company....http://www.widevine.com if you're interested. And yes, the remunerations is 'ok'. :)

I am highly skilled at buying customers dinner and can ask for the Wine List fluently in around fifteen languages. :P

Fair play and good luck to you mate.
I bet the old wine list trick worked a treat on the ladies before you got married! :wink: :lol:

At least you'd get an hour, if I bought another couple of cars I'd have the 'Pleasure Prevention Officer' moaning in my ear within seconds :D

I must be really lucky then. I have been told we have to buy either an Evo or a VR4 as a family car :D:D
I may be getting older but I REFUSE to grow up :D

There was a certain amount of that last night, as the reality of me tooling up in a nice shiny Cosmos Black example came about.

It's bloody good actually...seems faster than the Silver one, but I think that's my imagination.
