Players Cars

Schlupp, Dyer and Simpson all have Lamborghini Hurracans, Inler has a gallardo. They all have other cars as well though! Schmeichel has a Mercedes SLS and Range Rover

Just the idea of Jeff in a lambo ...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. These players may drive the worlds most expensive cars, live in mansions, earn tens of thousands a week, play in front of adoring fans and have glamour model girlfriends. But are they happy? Really happy?

Does anyone in the UK drive Subaru?

Not compared to the US. The horsey set seem to have a few of the larger everyday models (Legacy estates, Foresters, and such) and there are fair few Impreza WRXs around but they're mostly from the '90s to mid '00s (before they became crazy overpriced and all the hot hatches started getting turbos), but they're pretty niche.

I'm surprised noone drives an Aston Martin.  Always felt Bentleys are a bit "old man-ish" like Jags.  Lambo's - ok I guess, but you can't beat an Aston Martin.  Beautiful cars.

True, but I imagine Bentley are about as comfortable as you can get if you do a lot of miles, imagine they're also pretty low maintenance and absorb alot of crash if you're driving like a bellend

I got a DB9, one of the nicest cars to drive but they're properly old man cars

With what these guys earn I genuinely wonder sometimes why they don't employ a chauffeur. I think it sometimes gets a little lost. 80k per week is 40k after tax, EVERY WEEK. That's on average 160 pounds every month of the year. Every month, you look at your online balance and see ANOTHER 160 k paid in. That's if you've played or not. If you have played, and scored etc.add 'bonuses'....

Lads on that sort of utterly ridiculous money could buy a new flash motor every month and pay someone to clean it! And certainly to drive them everywhere....lol

Crazy world.

Yeah but they might get mixed up for one of those weirdo grownups that don't know how to drive

Who had the battered old 1960's beetle, was it the goalie Henderson? Or I think it was a German player of that time

Not a players car or anything remotely like one but I've seen a 4X4 around the Lutterworth area with a number plate reading

NP 04 WBA.

 

Thinking it's a sign or a subliminal message for me to go and put a bet on.

It's the same with most audi/bmw drivers. Pretty much all cvnt drivers who think they're above the law. (Awaits abuse from Audi/BMW drivers on here.. :whistle:)

 

I take exception to that.

 

Don't be thinking I drive a BMW though. Only pricks drive BMW's.

Because a chauffeur is a person, and generally it' can be more hassle than it's worth. Like gardeners and cleaners, they are nice to haves but need managing and that's the issue. You might as well drive yourself rather than have the hassle of dealing with someone who you have to spend so much time with etc.

My cleaner (gone now) used to put my music system on and come down wearing my missuses perfume. They ain't at the top of the ladder when brains were given out, and so they come with hassles.

I have a guy who does some driving for me, he is ace. But because he is ace he has another very good job so you can only get him certain times, which means it's not ideal.

It's genuinely isn't that easy. And bare in mind lots of these guys will be on the phone discussing private stuff, the last thing you want is someone ear wiggling, then going to the papers.

That is why they don't have chauffeurs
