Possibly the best 300,000 dollars you never spent - you were not the only person to be refused entry to the hallowed halls of said car company. Even the one person who did more to promote the distinguished marque and sold more cars than anyone was barred from even setting foot inside the front door by the hired muscle... ah the joys of Public Relations. Some people live by different rules do they not? Or do they make it up as they go along? We recently had a Prime Minister who did that.....
