also good call on the number of established middle classers, that means the majority of CTRO & their partners earn £50k+ each, have a house worth £250k-£500k and savings of £50k+ in the bank. standard.
Don't see how that many people on here fit the Established middle class bracket as this is a type r owners forum not a Nissan GTR owners forum :lol:

If me and my partner erned 50k each and had a house worth 250-500k plus savings of 50k I would not be driving an EP3 thats for sure.

The brackets on the questionnaire are pretty large, you can have an after tax household income of 50k-100k, huge difference, so some pikeys might just slip into the "established middle class" section. :P

The brackets vary quite a bit, so assume most are the lower level.

No way, remember the lotto lout? Won £9 million and was the biggest chav alive, biggest scum bag.

Modern society basis your class on a number of things money being one, but money on it's own does not indicate class.

I hate the whole "class" thing.

Established Middle Class, though i'm not sure thats entirely accurate since I don't earn a particularly high amount, own an expensive property or have a huge amount of savings, so I can only attribute it to the high rollers from CTRO I associate with

I know someone who earns in excess of £200K on his own (his wife doesn't work) and he drives a 52 plate Focus and he's happy with that.

Swings and roundabouts. He views cars in a completely different way to others.

Can't pigeon hole people. :salut:
