Bill Bill Gates Drives a John Ford Focus 2-Door? Who Cognized?
BY DIEDFAMOUS AT 01/06/08 10:45 PM
Hahaha, fat chance, Gates is much the ground the Porsche 959 of all time acquired off into a “road car”, even if it was a very circumscribed tally. We all cognise Billy club has a hoon streak.
BY CHUCKIE_A AT 01/06/08 10:46 PM
I wonder when the last time was that Bill sprang in his car and used up a recollective driving force only for the the pits of it. Or throw some shite into a duffel bag and realise how tenacious it occupies to get from Redmond to Ft. Meyers. And what car would it be?
BY JOHNNYICHIBAN AT 01/06/08 10:58 PM
BG: “Bye, Microsoft! It’s been playfulness”
[shifts into first and uses up off]
Managing director: “and…cut! thanks, mr. gates”
[BG leaps extinct of car]
BG: “Give thanks Supreme Being! Gemme extinct of this affair! I feel soiled!”

I’d burn my wearing apparel after I Sat in that matter.
BY NIGHTWING AT 01/06/08 11:22 PM
manok: Wow, that’s truly rough. LOL I state that only because if my car locomotes in the next couple months I could view an econo car if I could not give anything else, although I’d likely by novel anyhow.

OMG i can conceive of about 70 000 000 000 reasons he makes not drive a Direction
BY UTTERMAN AT 01/06/08 11:40 PM
I’m pretty certain that Bill Gates for months horde a John Ford as his daily device driver.
BY CAFERACER1200 AT 01/06/08 11:44 PM
Bill drives a Focussing? I feel SO a lot better in my Yaris today.
BY FISHINGCRUE AT 01/06/08 11:46 PM
I do not doubt that he’s acquired some grievous metal in his garage but his full ally Robert Penn Warren Buffett drives a President Lincoln Towncar (though I consider he could have merchandised it in for a novel Tea caddy lately)
BY NEWRIDER AT 01/06/08 11:47 PM
I wonder if Gates cognises Ford engineers use Solaris on their design workstations.
BY OPTIONIGHT AT 01/06/08 11:55 PM
His sidekick Robert Penn Warren Buffet drives a President Lincoln Towncar (no chauffeur). If I had got not understood it I would not have considered it.
BY SOS10 AT 01/07/08 12:01 AM
Not only makes he drive a Centering, but a screen-of-death-blue one!
BY TOMANDERSON AT 01/07/08 12:05 AM
Uhhhh…was there called to be dialogue in that vid. All I saw was the kind of lift euphony that Asimo would indite.
BY MAYMAR AT 01/07/08 12:13 AM
Yea, I ca not envisage Bill Gates having a Focussing demur as a plaything for his girl (when will Small Boors eventually get about to instalment seat belts and air bags in the Cozy Coupe?).
TomAnderson: All I got wind was lift euphony. But it touched and divine me in slipways I made not cognise were possible. It was the euphony, or mayhap a biscuit.
BY ERICMERRILL AT 01/07/08 12:19 AM
Genuinely, wherefore would not he? A adult male with that a good deal money has no reason to have any taste in living itself, and he’s acquired less style than Donald Trump. He’s belike owned and goaded so a lot of motorcars he’s desensitised, and a Focussing in all likelihood feels the like as a Bentley as a Porsche. He could as good drive a Direction, it matches his hairdo.
BY SOMETHING_Unparalleled_AND_DESCRIPTIVE AT 01/07/08 12:20 AM
I do not cognise what he drives today but it truly would not surprise me if he made drive a focus. A twosome of months ago I saw him departure Calif Pizza pie in Bellevue and he acquired into a black Lexus… not certain what model because the only Lexus that’s of all time concerned me was the SC300.
Yea, he’s acquired a service department (belike more than one) total of exotica but he’s voguish enough to cognise that you truly do not want to use up anything excessively rarefied extinct onto Seattle country motorways on a daily ground, it’s overly wild.
FishingCrue: That appears to be a shaping divergence betwixt the productive and the “I simply purchased your society”-rich. The productive driving force flash motorcars and show off how very much money they have, the cats like William Henry Gates and Buffet maintain a pretty toned visibility. And genuinely, what could be toned visibility than a Direction.
BY SOMETHING_Unparalleled_AND_DESCRIPTIVE AT 01/07/08 12:39 AM
TomAnderson: Yes, there was. The whole segment was really pretty funny (I’m a Brobdingnagian eccentric and followed the whole press league teemed live). Do not cognise wherefore this clip makes not have the existent soundtrack.
BY DANIO3834 AT 01/07/08 12:41 AM
FishingCrue: Yep, Buffet drives a Tea caddy DTs. I found out its because the Black Maria Rick Waggoner

Adult male… wherefore the Measure Clubbing? The Ford Focus truly needs to be turned to, and it surely is not Ford’s best car, but BG has made a flock of full for people all all over the spot. As far as I’m interested, anyone who has made what he made with his groundwork, and well to turn to tropic diseases that no drug company would touch, because they were not profitable; anyone who makes that has my permanent respect for the balance of his freekin living. Go away the personal material off. The Synchronize may not be the be-all and all, but he’s only wracking to aid his buds at the society, do his time, and get to his retreat. He’s a short-timer. Yield the bozo an interruption already.
BY SKULLDRIVESHAFT AT 01/07/08 01:50 AM
wherefore is he motorring by himself at any rate? clone? decoy?
BY SKULLDRIVESHAFT AT 01/07/08 01:51 AM
what’s with the cumulation of dust in the loge on the cap?
BG… I wonder what you believe about every so often…
in any case, who the ass are we to state that guy what to motor
BY MIKAIL511 AT 01/07/08 02:10 AM
if u consider about it: occupying the amount of money of mulah bill gates has (52 000 000 000 clams some) and taking off the monetary value of the “econo limousine”, it affords u the amount of money of grounds y he would not drive a focus. And u could then append any former grounds.

And then click on one of the velocities to “View the live webcast” (they launch the on-demand today).
The funny spot starts @ ~10:45 into the cartridge clip (you can jump about, at least in WinAmp)
It’s for the most part simply Bill fashioning merriment of himself with a clustering of famous persons that is really pretty funny and there are more shootings of Measure in the Centering.
BY XSTYLUS AT 01/07/08 03:54 AM
Uhh, guys, of all time idea that perchance… merely peradventure… it’s a rental?
Nevermind the fact that William Henry Gates can give to purchase John Ford Focuses as if they’re disposable, makes not mean that he makes though. He made not get one of the fertile cats extinct there by cachexia money.
BY Trotskyite AT 01/07/08 03:57 AM
There was a Forbes article on this a patch back. Harmonising to that, he daily drives a 996 cab. Maintain in mind this was last twelvemonth, but still a 996 was superannuated by then.
BY KNIGHTLINK AT 01/07/08 04:38 AM
good pose it this way wherefore not, unless your the case that merely want people to find you… then over again who cognises, if i was individual like bill gates but then once again i’m not motorring a car like that is not a big matter its to hold him or my self toned tonality. Motorring about in a BMW / europen car draws a tentions, plus motorring a pussy porsche merely agency your appearing to be the fancy man pop of the road, anywho what makes it affair what people drive ever encounter it funny whats people perseptions are when it comes up to money…
BY Microphone THE Domestic dog AT 01/07/08 06:35 AM
DiedFamous: Really the 959 was “off into a ‘road car’” because of homologation rules for Group B rally racing. I.E. to be eligible to belt along, a sure figure (unremarkably 50 - 500 it alters by serial) of street legal machines must be reinforced for public rate sale. So technically, it was a road car first (even though it was purpose reinforced for Group B). FWIW, I’m pretty certain the 959 is not street legal in the U.S. anyhow…
BY OMG! Cribs! AT 01/07/08 06:40 AM
No way makes Bill Gates drive a Ford Focus IRL. He’s more of a 1994 John Ford Carlos the Jackal/1981 VW Rabbit kind of hombre
BY Diametrical AT 01/07/08 06:48 AM
When you have his kind of money you can give the fixture bills.
BY FRANZOUSE AT 01/07/08 07:05 AM
When I was 15, I was kayaking on Lake Capital of the with an ally and we saw Bill, by himself in the crappiest kayak on the lake.
He was cognized about Seattle for being inexpensive on himself, and I think his daily device driver for months was a Corolla.
BY NOVALOAD AT 01/07/08 07:09 AM
DoctorNine: Good, yes, he has ditched money into malaria research and early countries, a lot of worldwide instead than interior, but makes that truly yield soul a free pass for living? Even in respect to his personal living? He’s a dweeb, not a holy man, who contended tooth and nail to maintain a Monopoly with Windows and held a potent repute for handling his proles as Micro-serfs.

Microphone the Canis familiaris: i’m pretty certain by “off into a road car” people are mentioning to the transition of the “Show and Display” jurisprudence that Gates was implemental in acquiring went across (since his 959 was sitting down ununsed for a full dozen months). and not so a great deal about Group B homologation rules.
and… “FWIW, I’m pretty certain the 959 is not street legal in the U.S. anyways” … is pretty a great deal spread over by that factoid as good.

Yea, a bozo that could purchase the entire JFG in existent living drives a Focussing. Right…

‘Course he drives a Fuckus. He’s an adult male of gustatory sensation and differentiation.
Steve Jobs has an Aveo.
They both like motorring common persons autos.
Makes them feel kind of unclean.
BY JEB_HOGE AT 01/07/08 09:04 AM
I’d conceive it, specially if it had got Synchronised in it. I’ve acquired a fat uncle (no, truly, I do) in Seattle (he makes patent jurisprudence, and apropos in one case sour down a line cancelled from Microsoft’s legal section), and he holds a base-model 1993 Honda Del Colloidal suspension in his drive as a ball of fire because it’s bantam, fuel-efficient, and makes not get attending. Bill Gates can have the most alien service department external of Maranello but that makes not mean he lives in those autos. And the Focusing is merriment to motor for what it is, even if it’s a small turdbox.
BY Microphone THE Canis familiaris AT 01/07/08 09:12 AM
: Thanks for the nexus, I was incognizant of that jurisprudence, and it explicates how some of the not US legal motorcars I’ve understood on the road acquired through…. Although I stand by my argument about it being a “road car” first (Europe makes have roads overly, you cognize). That jurisprudence made not get it a “road car” it merely got it legal to motor in the US on a confined footing.
BY BRENDASTARLET AT 01/07/08 09:23 AM
The query is not whether Bill William Henry Gates drives a Ford Focus. Makes Bill John Ford?
BY DANWARNER AT 01/07/08 09:26 AM
I cognise we all get playfulness of motorcars that suck in and though its not in my top 100 autos I’d truly like to have, a lot of of you would be surprised at how good the 08 Focus drives for a small car. The Synchronize is approved but the car manages existent good. They should get an SVT edition with a turbo.
BY CHET AT 01/07/08 09:32 AM
He lately merchandised it for a fresh Tea caddy.
I well to get him to go from a 3-honk roll Sabbatum, but he made not want none-dat.
I conceive his paw gestures sign something to the event of “to a fault lots risk” as he got a U-ey into a Dairy farm Female monarch parking lot.
BY GOATROPE AT 01/07/08 09:36 AM
Gates is likely still sore at Chivy since a dame upon one to scraunch his Porsche back in 1977.
BY BUFORD T. Justness AT 01/07/08 09:56 AM
@Diametric : When you have his kind of money you can give the car manufacturer; particularly if it’s John Ford.

I do not realize wherefore a bozo who wo not give more than seven bucks for a haircut would not have an inexpensive car, no thing how very much he’s worth… some thing but are not of import to come up people, Bill William Henry Gates makes not appear like an car guy.
BY AMBLITO AT 01/07/08 12:31 PM
Nightwing: In the UK the Focusing is not realized as a econo car, it’s what the average gent with a house drives, some people even aim to possess one! Plenty of middle category people purchase them. Confessedly the European variant is decent than the US one.
The basic model is USD 23056 and for that you get a stinky 1.4 80PS locomotive!
The the likes of the John Ford Ka are understood as econo autos.
BY TONY-E30 AT 01/07/08 12:41 PM
Bill Bill Gates would have a Focusing for the like ground that John Jay Leno would have a Cobalt; “Hey, I do not conceive I have one of these, so far…”
BY LASCAUXCAVEMAN AT 01/07/08 12:42 PM
franzouse: Back in 1988 he about ended me in his kind of beatup turd-brown XJ6 coming up down an offramp way overly riotous (I-5 in Seattle).
I held but tuned up the Sus on my Wanderer TC and distinct that would be the clip to go for a fresh fomite speed record and was adrift by a Dag at but a hairsbreadth under 100 right about Northgate. He carried on to afford chase and picked up me at the terminal of the 45th street offramp, where he braked excessively late and had got to cut into the right paw lane to lose my tail end, that he made, skew a spot sideways in the right late.
I seemed all over and there was a grin Bill Bill Gates and a gracile, highly riled blonde sitting down in the rider seat. (Not Melinda, this was way earlier Melinda.) The next hebdomad I confirmed with one of the housemen doing work for me at the clip, whose roomie was some kind of personal assistant to Gates, that he made indeed drive a trounce up Jag, and was cognized to get an episodic tag and held held a few wing toots.
Apart from virtually being ended by the hombre who would finally be the cosmos fat adult male, to me the singular portion of this narrative is there was a clip you could really drive 100miles per hour down the middle of Seattle at eight clock in the eventide.

I consider most people anticipate him to transpose by a whirlybird or what? Nowadays if he uses a John Ford Focus so let it be…whats the job? The cat has made a stack for the human race, not because of his base but the way he projecting evolution of software system. One thousand thousands of homes crosswise the earth pull in merely because a household fellow member “germinates software program” and acquires nonrecreational. Yah! right. But all I understand is most people have blasphemed to throw off shit at him going all industrial plant aside. Come up on common people. Turn up!!!
