A few months ago I was told this by someone;
My mate, who is a mechanic at Porsche, said that Ronaldo called in when he first signed for utd and asked to go for a test drive in a 911. The manager gave him a brand new 911GT3 to go out in unaccompanied. Ronaldo returned about ten minutes later saying the car had a fault and he'd like another one. So they had to get a second hand one off the forecourt for him. He returned about ten minutes later saying that this one wasn't right either.
The manager found this hard to believe and sent out the head mechanic in the car and who, on his return, reported no problems at all. He asked Ronaldo what gear he noticed the problem occured in and it turns out that the dick thought it was an automatic and had been driving around in first gear!

That was the second time I'd heard this from the same guy. Both times I have pointed out that had Ronaldo thought it was an automatic he would have tried to put it in gear without dipping the clutch - and I think the grinding noise would have stopped him pretty quickly.
Why are people so gullible?
