Does this mean that he needs a helmet, licence, registration and insurance?

I haven't bought a VW for several years!

 

You should, apparently their 911 is quite good.

 

And then you think what the ski schools actually charge ...

 

Well I do happen to know that the small ski school that Jude works for
only just manages to turn a profit, even with such an apparent margine
between customer price and instructor cost. Not looked into their
finances in any detail, mind, but Armin, who runs it, is certainly not
making a killing from it.

I rather doubt I would ever buy another new Porker

 

This has been my observation for decades. They do it because it's "fun",
not because they're businesspeople, which is why so many are utterly
incompetent and go bust in spectacular fashion, regularly and
frequently.

The parallels with the motorcycle world, as I've also observed for
decades, are inescapable.

 

I don't think this is a good thing, in either.
