Blinking Flip!!!! What Do I Say?????
« on: 03 May 2010, 22:59:16 »
As most of you will know, it has been a rather long and drawn out path of recovery for my tractor over the past 5 months but now shes back and running better than ever :y Problem is, im not the only one who thinks so. A quick excerpt from a 'chat' me and swmbo had on Saturday night.

Zoe: Your cars running nicely isn't it
Me: Yeah honey, nice of you to notice
Zoe: I've been thinking, you only do a few miles a day now, wouldn't my new (W reg) Polo be better for what you do.
Me: But I thought you liked the new car
Zoe: I do, but yours is just so much bigger and more comfortable than mine, its easier to get the babies in and out of and the prams fit easier in the boot
Me: Are you serious
Zoe: Its just something I was thinking about earlier thats all
Me:STUNNED SILENCE  :o :o :o

So, is that it :question Do I say goodbye to Omega motoring (for the most part anyway) :question

Talk about a bolt out of the blue :o :o :o

Well if you don't want to say goodbye to driving it then start sowing some seeds of doubt.  Something along the lines of how big it is, would she be comfortable parking it etc.

For me, SWMBO doesn't like to drive mine very often for those same reasons, so never a problem for who takes which car  :y.

My mate bought a newish volvo a few years back, his wife loved it so much he had to get himself a runaround.

Any way it seems he gets to drive it occasionally, but seems the fuel light is allways in the red when he does, and the car needs cleaning or the tryes need air in them.  :y

Yup, sell the matchbox car Polo and buy her a MIG if that's what she wants.

I reckon that as soon as she tries using it every day and has to park in awkward places, has to fill it with deisel, etc etc, she'll get fed up with it

Especially if it breaks down  ;D

Personally I have given the wife the best car we had, and allways will.

It is worth it in the long run  ;)
