No ... my job involves too much travel. If I had the cash, would retire early, buy a few Ferraris and join JW as Jabba's second in command - move over TT...
Oh and I am a consultant by profession.

I have a weekend job as a basketball referee which I used to do for free when I was still in school. Getting paid for it is so much better, and I wouldn't go back.

Hmmm tricky question since I run our family businesses and I get my expenses anyway so would run it even if I didn't earn anything even though I would still love to close down atleast one of our businesses!
But if I could do something with cars I would do it for free for all especially being a test driver for BMW/Porsche!!

So no - I won't do it for free........ :wink:
