I'm a team leader, so in Bernie-speak does that make me a McTrainee Manager?
My team is a group of recruiters who are all high achievers so they make my life easy.
My first drive in a Cobra was when I had to show Qld Transport that my supercharged V8 Cortina was not too loud. There were 3 test facilities in Brisbane and my nearest one was about to close when I arrived. The owner asked me to meet him at his place later and he'd test the car there.
Frank opened his garage door and there was the dream car. I jumped in and we headed off to grab some fuel. I was 24 years old and drooling over the little details, not to mention the sound and feeling of cruising down the road in a COBRA!!! Frank offered me a drive. I never usually drive other people's cars, but I couldn't resist. I was hooked.
He had me hook, line and sinker, so when Frank mentioned he was selling the car, I had to have it. I couldn't afford it, but 2 minute noodles go a long way.
That was back in the 90's and a few Cobras ago. I can't imagine not having one in the garage!
