Just curious really, is there any connection between the car you drive and what you do for a living...

I'm an IT field engineer (Storage & SAN), currently drive a Volvo S80, last 3 cars have been Jags.

I'm a student and I've had two BMWs and an Audi for my last three cars.

So I dont really think there is a link in my case.

Funny my mate is an accountant and he is tighter than a nuns **** but he currently drives a RR Vogue, and had a Boxster before that. Never buys new though. Always a few years old around the £14k mark

Air Traffic Controller.

About 70% of the car park is either Porsche or high end BMW.

I drive a 12yr old Alfa.

Go figure!
