    If my wife bumped my car the next town would be too close for her to move to!

    You haven't seen my next door neighbor mate, i'd gladly swap if I could get away with it :) and there lies the problem :(

    What makes it even worse for me is that before I mobilized to Nigeria I spent pigging hours washing, polishing, hovering that car so it was all nice and spotless for the wife. And then she goes and hits a bright red bollard that she never saw <doh><doh><doh>

    My new car. Well that one's not mine but I don't know how to blur the plates of mine.

    Like I said, if she bumps it the next towns too close when she moves out!

    Apparently it's a midlife crisis car. Couldn't afford a fun car until I got to midlife so I'm not sure why I should give a **** what everyone thinks!

    Didn't know you were a hairdresser mate, or do you prefer barber?

    Nah it's a cool car and a lot nicer than my Astra.

    There's a big ****ing hairdryer sticking out of the boot mate.

    Sorry to disappoint but its just a 1.8 mate. It can still put you back in the seat but the delay on the automatic is disappointing although it kicks in better up through the gears.

    I still have to do a lot of miles and the 3L was just too expensive to consider.

    Its a daft car to buy at my age. It's bloody low. I can get the golf clubs in but nothing else. But after years of doing the right thing and buying the sensible family car I just thought what the ****!
