Ha, I remember this guy, he had a certain swagger about him, only driver for his car also.
'A Certain Swagger" - do you mean this?

Believe I do

Swagger
"A demeanor of confidence, coolness, and togetherness. Someone with Swagger gives of an ora of comfortability with his/her self. Swagger is commonly referred to as Swag or Swagga. Swagger is not to be confused with cockiness. Cockiness is someone thinking they are the shite, but if you have swagger you probably are the shite."

When I saw him he was walking around trying to light that firkin cigar in his hand, thats why I said swagger and not a rich arrogant swiss banker

OK, time for some kinder words I think. Yes, it's true the lad had a certain swagger but I don't think he was being arrogant, just exuding a confident ease that wealth can bring. Maybe some folks didn't take to him but he did nothing to upset me.
And that car looked and sounded superb. It's a fabulous 911 and he's to be applauded for racing it. It brightened my day watching it on track and I can't help thinking I'd relish driving it too.
If I had the opportunity I might sit quietly behind my car whilst in the pits but hey, we're allowed to show off on occasions aren't we?....

Fair enough - not meaning to speak out of turn - never saw the guy myself.

Just saw the photo and comment and realised the chance to show off my faultless photoshop skills
