I am not sure that a Saab or a Skoda is good for my go getting yet professional image. A Ferrari or a Porsche (not that I can afford either) would antagonise my contractors

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...

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.

Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone
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.
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!?
