This little anecdote follows on quite nicely from my last few posts which featured the brochure put out after the Ford contract had been secured.
Even though I didn’t like working on the Ford contract it had its attractions. I was already a director and major shareholder of Promotor and once everything was running kinda smoothly on the Ford job Peter and I treated ourselves to some new wheels. We didn’t buy new cars but there was no need. He bought another BMW M5 and I found a nice Jaguar XJRS. If I remember rightly both vehicles were eighteen months to two years old.
Seeing that Ford owned Jaguar at that time I thought it good for the company image that I was buying one of their cars but there were a number of people who felt it was a bit ostentatious and over the top but I didn’t let that worry me. I knew I wouldn’t be around much longer and I was determined to make the most of my remaining time with the company.
