What type of business is he in? computers no doubt?

I once did some work for this guy, and he had some items being delivered and he'd be away and asked if I could accept them.
I asked where abouts he wanted them to be stored to which he said in the garage if there is enough room.. enough room? it's a double garage??? ah yeah he said but it has two Ferrari's in there! AHA! :rolleyes: so he showed me, and yep, there they were.. two brand new Ferrari 360's.

He had several homes in other countries too, which was the home to many other expensive cars.


Oh.. to be rich. :greedy:

property mainly, & vast amounts of it !! Gave his builder, £16,000,000's worth of work over the next couple of years or so !!! I want my bit of that I can tell you !! :-D
got to be philosophical about it though !! today, I'm his electrician, tomorrow I might not be ! :(
even though other sparkys are wiring his extension, I'm the only one allowed in his house !!

Oh !! & one last thing........... he has a bentley arnarge, a Merc 600 CL, & a porsche cayenne turbo !!
