In years gone by, the salarymen traipsing up and down the UK’s motorways were worried about prestige and hierarchy.
In 1993 the BBC released a documentary called From A to B: Tales of Modern Motoring. It was probably well received enough at the time, but decades later Millenials on the internet discovered it and were surprised/delighted/fascinated by what they saw.
The salesmen in question were obsessed with status. And what company car they were driving became an all-consuming part of their lives. One man went as far as saying he wouldn’t let other drivers pass him on the motorway if they’re driving a base level motor.
