Sorry I don't go for that. You don't have to be rich to spend 6k on the licence & 16k on the a/c.
I don't know which world you live in. I can assure you that in many of the council flats in my ward the description that would be applied to anyone who could spend twenty-two thousand pounds on toys!!!! would include "rich".

Yes there are beamers around the estates. They might have cost a lot when new, but just right now they're getting on for twenty years old and probably have negative scrap value.
