used car salesman

Post Sat Apr 29, 2006 9:27 am

is Joe Strummer's story that you were once a used car salesman but didn't sell a single car true?

I also have never been a car salesman. Don't know why Joe Strummer would know this though.

here's an interview with Spider, it's in german, but i translated the parts where he talks about the car buisness:
http://www.shanemacgowan.de/Deutsch/Interviews/Spider_Stacy/spider_stacy.html

Work experience?
- I did different absolutely boring jobs.

For example car-salesman?
- For example car-salesman!

- Have you ever sold a car?
- Yes, I really did. But if I have had a driving licence, I would have sold many more.

- Can you drive?
- No, I refuse to drive a car.

Joe Strummer is a lying bastard and if he wasn't dead i'd kick his ass! As a matter of fact i sold loads of cars, most of which were new. If i had been able to drive i would have sold even more. As it was i had to go out with George, the 75 year old cleaner, driving. He reeked of pipe tobacco and had a glass eye from a shrapnel wound he recieved on d day. That was his story anyway. He never seemed to grasp one of the fundamentals of the test drive which is that the prosepective customer should get a go behind the wheel.
