My dream come true
I'm afraid this story is not about the purchase of my first prancing horse.
Around about 15 years ago (13 years old) my dad used to drive past my local Ferrari dealer and we used to stop and look at the awesome cars. We had a family friend who had an F40 and locally there was a F355 that used to drive around.
After a varied career I got into car sales at Nissan, that was 2004. the first car I sold was a Nissan micra 1.5DCI. No laughing please. In 2006 I was promoted to Business Manager but hankered after working with some 'proper cars'.
That came in the form of Porsche in 2007(right next door to Ferrai Maserati Bentley) Since then I have sold 250 cars+. They have varied in price from £12500.00 (Boxster) right the way up to £750000.00 (918 Spyder). There have been 95x 911 including 1x GT3 RS 4.0, 2x GT3 RS, 1xGT2 RS, 7x GT3, 6x Turbo S, 10x Turbo, 2x Speedster and 1x Sport Classic as well as 62x Boxster, 28x Cayman, 43x Cayenne (3x Turbo S), 11x Panamera (4x Turbo) and randomly 1x Lamborghini.
The reason for my post is that I have now started at the same dealership that I used to go to 15 years ago, as Business Manager of Ferrari Maserati.
My dream job has come true and I thought I would share my excitment as I'm sure my wife is bored with me talking about it by now.

No worries I have PM DJ earlier as it would be great to push the dealership on here the site is amazing. Thanks for deleting the other thread. Is there anyway of deleting accounts as I still have the one I setup when I worked at Porsche.

Thanks. Whats even better is that I took my 4 year old son to see where I work and he sat in a 430 and said "daddy the engine is in the middle of this car".
