Actually, she was once a M3 driver (she's divorced), but for the past 6 years, her car has been a 1.1 Fiat Seicento :-) She likes her cars to be relatively new. It's a woman thing and is beyond the scope of rational thought.
Ah, but those who are outside can. If it was me I wouldn't give a toss.
Oh, yes. I love the 750 from the James Bond film, with the big wheels and flared arches. Big and beautiful :-)

She'd tell me to go ahead :-) Besides, some of those newer models have enormous maintenance costs, and I'm not sure I'd be up to maintaining the service history these days ;-)

You should have started as you intended to carry on. It was acknowledged when we got married, that I had the final say as far as our transport was concerned. She obviously had a say. Largely ignored on my part. :-) Later when we could afford it, she chose her own car At pesent she has a 3 year old Corolla which she's had from new. My cars, although older, have always been better for longer journeys. Hers is only suitable for shopping and short local runs IMO. :-) Mike.

Yeah we have the same arrangements with a small car for round town and the bigger one for weekend trips, visits to the caravan etc
Basically, she didn't want me to change cars because I couldn't afford a newer one. She's sulking now I've bought the Volvo. But I don't agree with her view that the best car is always the newer one. If I was truly oppressed, I would never have been able to get a new car, but like you, I tend to just go ahead and get what I want anyway. She comes round in the end :-)
should have asked for some decent size close up pics ....
