Best thing is, not to have a missus, then you don t get it in the ear. ;)
And you can do whatever the hell you want. :norty:

My wife has no influence over what I buy or drive and it's staying that way ;)

i understand scoobies, and there is no way on heaven and earth i would have mine pink with a drop top :nono: the faster the better i say!:thumb:

i loved drivin my ex's scooby, it was such a rush i cant wait to get mine:luvlove:

well Nicki I am glad to say that you are rare breed..

You're not that Nicky off BB are you?? w**kers!!!!!!!

she is that a rare breed loves her scoobys /fast cars "DB9" is a hart stopper car
(Nicky/nicki ) no its Nikki you blind??

10 beers, you try and read m8

sorry Nikki

i'm a lucky one as well.the wife a total car nut
she sold her civic type r for a impreza.first it had to have a big wing and be fast. second could we get a push chair in the boot.plus she's a valeter by trade so i dont have to worry about washing it :thumb:

When hubby and I bought our WRX I had just as much say in what type we bought as he did. It is the only car we own and we drive it 50/50. And as my money helps to pay for it and its running costs then I should have a say in which one we buy. We test drove one and he loved it but I didnt. We took it for a test drive and the engine warning light came on. Put me right off it.

We are hoping to upgrade to a newer model next year and I will have just as much say in which one we choose as my hubby.

And I love driving the scoob, I love the acceleration, the handling, the noise, the looks and I have the modding bug.

in the same mould .. mrs loves the scooby ... even though we have a run around too ford escort si ( mm mmm ) .. but she never gets to drive the scoob coz she's allways at work.. just trying to figure a way around on getting her to part with some cash .. so i can have the re-map done .. any ideas ?

cheers

:lol1: Thanks Pete
He has no say in what I buy and my car is my bonnie lad :luvlove:

My girlfriend, at the time, and me have and agreement. I can have the car if she is allowd kids END OF! She is now my fieance (sp)
I figure as kids gcost £75K over 18 years I get to send that on my baby.

mmmmmmmmm Ford Galaxy on the way me thinks:lol1:

In all fairness, Wifey and I have a slightly diffrenent attitude.

I'm definitely NOT under the thumb, as when I set my mind to something, that's it, but things like cars and houses, or other large expenditures, we consult each other, after all, it could be perceived that if you're buying an item using both party's money, without their consent, it's theft :eek:

Plus, in my experience, I'll do all the leg-work, finding the right item/deal etc, then involve wifey. Then if it goes t1ts up, there's two of us to confront the problem.

She never objected to the two Scoobs I had. She resisted about the Scoobysport and mods, but when a strong justification was put forward she was fine.

The classic was when I got my Labrador - I had them as a kid and have always wanted another. Now my lifestlye and home can accomodate a large dog, we got one. The downside was we got the "Clifford, the big black dog!" :D He wouldn't fit in the car!! :D The Scooby had to go. (This was last Christmas) Spent most of Jan/Feb looking at other cars (primarily Legacy B4s and the odd Impreza Wagon - wanted something bigger) I still wanted an STI, but of course, no such thing as a new STI wagon.
Then she saw the S4 Avant (Audi) - I really liked it. Showed it to me, and she was really suprised that I was going to defect!! :D

However, the what I'm getting at is the whole thing of compromise. This is one of the facts and keys to a successful marriage.
I welcome my Wife's input, and in the very VERY rare occasions that we do disagree, there's always been something better around the corner - so call it fate ;)
