      Back to this car image thing: would no-one think that because Dodgy Agent happens to be a very successful agent, he can afford a Ferrari??

      Why is it inherent in our culture to despise success at every level?

      You don't see this in other cultures/countries: Hungary, Oz, Spain, Norway... all very open about salaries and success...

      Here? Bunch of fucking whinging, spiteful retards...

      (sexually frustrated, sorry)
      If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

        Only the chassis thse days, which is a damn good one anyway.

        Saabs get their own diesel engines now ( since 2005 ), much better than the old ones.

          I honestly congratulate with DA for being such a successful parasite of the society.
          I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

            It is an interesting concept. If you remember IBM came up with the dark blue suit and white shirt because according to some so called clever research organisation this combination of clothing was the most acceptable form of attire least likely to create negative feelings from customers.

            I suppose a car conjures up similar reactions. I tend to agree with the f*** em attitude, but unfortunately this comes accross by the car you drive or clothes you wear- rightly or wrongly. As we have quite e number of our clients to who you must drive to go and see I do believe that the car needs to be fairly discreet without the F*** off element but at the same time not the "poor bastard" or cheapskate image.

            It also has to fit in with your age and status to a point. So an S class merc would not be quite right for someone under 40, likewise a honda Civic type R is not for 50 somethings.

            A second hand dark blue Saab with a white interior it is then

                  Is that the one made in collaboration with Fiat?
                  I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?
