Occupation: lurker on 911 forua whilst being paid to be a Business Manager for a vehicle leasing company in the UK!



Education: BSc in Electrical Engineering & Electronics - not used as you can tell, being a "car salesman" these days, previously IT techie/sales!

More relevantly, my wife (the main earner in our household!) is in sales for IBM and also has an unused engineering degree.

We've had a 00 C4 coupe tip for six months (a BMW 330Ci cab before and a TVR Chimaera prior to that)

I'm the top mobile and wireless analyst in the industry...

Oh and unemployed thanks to an acquisition and poor planning by another company...

So I sit around waiting for the market to get better, or I drive to random locations and try to think of ways I can keep my Porsche when the bank comes calling...

Any tips?

Oh I almost forgot, I have a law degree too... anyone want a photocopy?
