When you're introduced as a friend of ours, rather than a friend of mine.

I define having 'made it' as waking up every morning & doing exactly what you want, albeit within fairly reasonable financial parameters.

Me & Mrs rouge are in that place now, & whilst we could be a lot better off if we ran our businesses ourselves rather than have managers, we certainly wouldn't have as much fun & contentment as we have now.

When you are happy with what you have and don't really worry about what anyone else thinks.

Is the correct sensible answer!

When you dont need to get up at 5am to go "work"

I have to agree. Getting off the wage slave train is great!

Someone's already mentioned my ultimate from the eighties....the electric aerial.....so I'll raise you OE front fogs and an integrated x5 cassette storage pod in the centre console!

[Getragdogleg]

When the outer door handles have little lights hidden under them.

Pop-up headlights. Oh, yeah...

I'd say it's when you have to pinch yourself every time you go into your garage.

In my experience truly wealthy people drive beaten up snotter estate cars, normally with three dogs slobbering about in them.
They are sensible enough to know that having too much money in a depreciating asset is not the best idea.

The ones who are car enthusiasts don't. The ones who would only otherwise have bought cars as status symbols do.

The old guard still potter about in snotters. When they hand the reins over to Junior he's often the one spunking the inheritence and estate on hypercars.

Harry Metcalfe seems to be doing OK for himself. Is Lord March old money enough?

Like this one.

[Dr Jekyll]

I was at an event the other week attended by a multi multi millionaire, and he turned up in the car I could least imagine a millionaire driving.


Mundane attention dodging snotter? No.

Well used 4WD? no.

Exotic 6 figure hypercar? No.










A second hand, tidy looking, Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.

[Justin Case]

When your signature is just your surname. Or if you have a Land Rover Defender just for getting around your estate.

[Dr Jekyll]

When mad people think they are you.

[barker22]

The bloke you sold your car to 1 month ago for 2 grand has it up on eBay with your name next to it and a starting price of £20k

Actually makes a lot of sense - wants luxury, not daft with money, can afford the running costs, doesn't give a stuff what anyone thinks of it!

When you don't even know what cars you own, you just get in the back of whatever black, shiny sedan Jeeves has brought round to the front staircase.
