M series BMW convertible (and he's only 24) He test drove a brand new Porsche Carrera on Monday and fell in love with it, said he will collect it in December. He also promised me an M3 convertible if we have the year we are expecting to have. Nice little Christmas present!

Well, as I really have two bosses..

One drives a Hyundai Excel, '97... the other drives a Daewoo Matiz. Yeah, as far as people earning too much money, they are letting the team down.

One invests money in killing his liver, the other has a nice big purty house and a plasma.. but -shrugs- its what you want in life isnt it?

One of the higher ups at my place of employ has a new Rolls. Another has a black SL65, and his brother who is a property developer, is one of the rare few who has imported a Pagani Zonda. I hate them both.
