Funny you should say that Frank, I competed against NewZealands strongest man a few times, Levi Vaonga - 6' 3" and 165kg of brute power and you guessed it he was indeed a "repo man" ie it was his job to politely ask people to hand over their cars to the finance company when they fell behind in payments, he drove a high rise black Hilux with driving lights across the roll bar too, so imagine him pulling up and walking up your drive with a clip board

Here is Levi in 2000, the guy on the right of centre doing the thumbs up with me, with the spirl tat on his HUGE arm, my arms were pretty big at 20" in circumfrence then, so I am guessing his were about 24" around?:

Like most Islander types though, a fun loving happy man.
