Title: How to sweet talk SWMBO ?
Post by: powerslinky on 30 June 2014, 21:27:40
Seen another 3.2 Omega I would like . . . . but only just brought a  3.2 "Do'er up 'er" to work on over the next few weeks.

Have quietly mentioned it to her tonight . . .   she's not impressed :'( :'(  "   NO !   your not  getting another one " was her

initial response .    Any ideas how to sweeten her up a bit?    :-\ :-\

What tell a lie to SWMBO ?     . . .  could I do that  . .  .   well maybe . . .   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Trouble is  I've not got much left in my "car fund pot" after buying the green 3.2 & some bits for it.  so funding for this one will have to come from "our" money  :( :(       not looking good at the mo  :'( :'( :'(

I must admit I keep looking on the bay of gay at the potential project cars,and in all honesty I've got pulled into a couple of the auctions and got very close to owning one of them.But then I've had a reality check and stopped short of going for it,because I reckon that I've spent some where in the region of between £6 and £8K in the past year on the three cars and it could be more.....just lost count  and it's going to stop very shortly.....trust me  :-X  ::)

You could always but the one you want and another one for parts. You then explain that it will cost nothing because by breaking the third one you will get the parts you need and by selling the rest it will actually cost nothing for the two extra cars. ::) ::) ::) :y :y ;D ;D ;D
( original idea by Lincs Robert)

She's not going to buy that is she ??? ;D ;D
Title: Re: How to sweet talk SWMBO ?
Post by: Bigron on 01 July 2014, 08:48:53
Ok, here's the cunning plan (Baldrick?):-
If the desired 3.2 is the same colour as your existing 3.2, then when you buy this desired one, get plates made up with the same reg. no. as your existing 3.2 and when she sees the new car, she will be seeing double - and go off to SpecSavers........

Ron.

P.S. I have little confidence in that plan, but you might try it by not having both cars near each other?

Just buy it.....and don't tell her.

It works, well sort of, well not very well in my case.

I bought a train and we were in a model shop in Nottingham, my young lad pointed at a model on the shelf and said to SWMBO, 'look, there is a train the same as daddy has bought'.......the shopping trip was cut short and the silent meals only lasted about 3 weeks.
