TOFO,
None of this matters to the AEO because he has the fastest car
Certainly don't want to start a bun fight over the house or good looking Mrs piece but I have to call you on the car front. Having scratched my head on this, I can't honestly think of any AEO (in my 28 years of maritime) who had a decent car, let alone a fast one? Seem to remember Terry Anning as a young snco had an E Type that he used to drive home from Kinloss to St Mawgan every weekend but that was before he became an AEO.
I can however, remember lots of Cortinas, things by British Leyland and more latterly Hyundai's and Kia's but that's about it!
