Some may earn the title of a "Real Sham".

Other titles such as a "Sly Sham" would be able to jerryrig your car to pass an NCT (Annual vehicle safety test). Set you up with recreational substances and will never rat you to the Gardai (Police).
Shams are often the victim or target of Knackers (Troublemakers who are untrustworthy).
It's important to keep your Sham safe and well looked after.
