I have a similar 'Mythical Jaguar' story.
I went to college with a bloke called Michael, who looked a bit like Michael Jackson before he was white.

He was absolutely adamant that he had an X-type Jag which daddy had bought for him, but nobody ever saw this Jag, and he used to come to college on a push-bike. He also used to say he had a part-time job which paid £25k a year, but he would never tell anybody what this job involved.

Only problem is, I happened to know that he couldn't drive. He may have a Jag for all I know, but we never saw it, and I seem to remember his family was very poor indeed.

Judging by some interviews I read recently...
Poor background
Going to university
Travels by push-bike (which is less likely to get stopped and searched than a car)
'Part time' job paying £25k.

He was a drug dealer. If he was doing it full time then he'd be making around £50k.

Maybe...
... the college friend became black. The syntax would have to be stretched a bit, but that interpretation would just about work.


Wouldn't make much more sense, though...

Edited for truth.
Before he was white, sorry.

Thinking about it, he could very well have been a coke dealer and/or pimp, judging by the way he used to dress. Leather jacket, white shirt, all kinds of jewlery.

But I'm sure he didn't have a Jag. Nor £25k, for that matter.

Michael I know him
Drives a Bentley now. Wouldn't be seen dead in a Jag (they are all mondeos underneath now don't you know). In those days, you'd have to have a kidney out to buy one (his part time job).

£43,000 it cost him. Plus he private plate N one G E R springs to mind.

(this is a lie by the way)
