This is amazing. Genuinely. Assuming these people aren't scripted and this isn't a stealth parody of salesmen and their hangups (which seems unlikely; what little the internet has given me about this is that it was a legitimate docu-series), this is a fantastic piece of work. Even tho the drivers themselves are taking themselves very seriously, the film seems to mostly pity and/or disdain them. No matter who they are, how "good" their car is, they're shown all driving the same, empty stretches of barren highway, eating at the same sort of middling lunch holes, stuck behind interchangeable 18-wheelers. If I had to pick only one to follow up with (would love to see an update on the lot, tho), it would have to be the guy and his Ford hatchback who pops up at 18:30 or so. Because he was definitely the most insufferable little weasel I've ever seen. Would love to know if he grew out of it or just became more and more of an irredeemable waste of air as he got older. Willing to bet the latter.

I worked as a sales rep in the late 00s and badge snobbery was a real thing even then and something we all discussed. We all got utterly shite base model Renault Megane "sportshatches" (basically asthmatic 1.5 non turbo diesel estates) whilst the regional managers got Lagunas. The area managers got a choice of higher spec Laguna or a BMW 3 series estate. My regional manager left and got a job working for Nestle where you could pick a car within a certain budget so he managed to get a 2 year old 57 plate BMW 3 series coupe. Much jealousy ensued.

Why is this so compelling viewing? These people made cars/standing/salary/seniority all in one and make it about cars. I'm totally fascinated. It's almost 30 year ago now, but whatever you think about these people, I'm glad they were honest and we got a view inside this small-minded struggle in their company's. I bet those upgrades from a 1.6 to 1.8 or whatever made those people do extreme hours. They didn't see and didn't value all other perks a job has to offer. Also, the views of near empty motorway's, speeding cars and HGV's(!). I would like to go back in time and drive my current car in those setting. It's stylistic a very nice view, and portray's a sort of emptyness about the roads and the people.

This is fascinating and a fantastic documentary. I was a youngster back when company car culture was rife, but vividly remember both my Uncle and my Dad's 'healthy' competition over it. I remember many company cars on our driveway. When I was just about old enough to remember we had a Calibra (red top no less) as my Dad's then company car. Then came an E36 coupe (318is in white on an early J-plate but with body-coloured bumpers and rear headrests). A W124 200E even made an appearance (in the obligatory white base spec colour of course), which I remember my Dad not being so fond of as it was about 3-years old at the time he ended up with it. My Uncle had a base-spec 318i saloon on a K-plate, then not long after he had a Rover 620 turbo which I thought was actually really nice, and went like a rocket. When my Dad and a business partner eventually started up on their own and took over a business up in Northants, my mum drove a couple of the spare rep cars for a while.... first a white Cavalier 1.6GL and then a white Vectra diesel. The latter must have been dreadful to drive, but all I remember is being wowed by the then novel TrafficMaster updates! The subjects of this documentary are laughable and at the extreme end of course, but it goes to show both how real and slightly pathetic this subculture was back then. Our modern day equivalent fringe benefits are probably remote working and/or health care, amongst other things.

I think it's healthy for one to speak their mind about such things. When I was younger, I used to "pass judgment" (if you can call it that), on particularly older designed cars and their drivers - not necessarily _poorly maintained_ cars - just old ones. There was something of a "behind the times" mindset I had toward such motorists, who [somehow] _could_ afford a "better" (ergo _newer)_ car, but just stuck and "made do" with what they had. I don't think I could've tolerated sitting as a passenger in a car, unless (at the *least)* it had head restraints, and or just "appeared" conventionally, contemporarily "mainstream". I would probably have felt embarrassed, to have sat in a car from before such things were ubiquitous enough. Even now, there is still something of a "does it meet _this_ criteria, and _that_ criteria?" mindset when looking for vehicles. They might not all be the same, but there is still something lying dormant.
