So what does she want???

I think we need to rise up and change SWMBO - in general- to SWTSMBO ( She who thinks she must be obayed) Tell her to sell it and buy her own  ;D

How the f*ck can you not like a car after a few hours!!? Tell her to give it a chance. You're back being the way it is, she's got to understand that reliability is the order of the day, as you cant be fixing cars every farts end. Women!

I decided to make some changes around here. After reading all thye above advise, I put my foot down. I told her that she will take what she gets. She can get on with the womens work like ironing, cleaning, washing etc and will drive the Xantia and that is that.

There, wasn't difficult at all.
























I may be off line for quite a while. No power suplly in the shed! :(

honestly i think she should get a week out of it and see how she feels then, different cars respond differently, so she might just need to adapt a little

my brother's lexus is nothing like my omega to drive, but i got used to it

She'll love the brakes once she realises all she has to do is rest her foot on the pedal to lock the wheels up. ;D ;D ;D
