 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

ha ha! she 'Sold' the type 25 to her mum...... cos she needed a daily as the new job isn't quite as conveniently located!
on the plus side, I picked her up from work yesterday, and the guy that runs/owns the company in the adjacent unit had an M3 CSL outside.....
They look SO Meaty!
The corrado wasn't too dear either! 'twas a bargain in fact!

My wife reckons my next daily runner should be a BMW 2002 or a W123 series Merc.

I've always thought the Corrado was a nice car. Why can't I find a GF with any taste in old cars?!  They all seem to think I'm a creep when they see the kind of cars I mess around with! |

My girlfriend didn't like any cars in the slightest when we met but now she's been converted to retro! (not in a "stepford wives style" ;D) just through me dragging her along to different shows over the last five and a bit years. I even had to pull her away from the drag strip at RCS show this year and she was really impressed when I took her to Goodwood festival of speed last year. The best bit is she really doesn't like chaved up saxos etc and when I was thinking about selling the Sapporo she made me keep it.  |

 Not the best pic in the world, and in 'real life' it's a much lighter blue (actually VW Helios Blue) She should hopefully be getting it at the weekend (insurance and tax permitting) ;D |

my girlfriend got a 1962 morris minor a few months ago.
it is "perfect" all panels are the original with no dents scraches or even paint fade in the origial paint.
its also covered a massive 11,000 miles from new with every tax disc and MOT.
i had a total scan of the car and all i could fault it on was the original tires and the spring in the drivers seat was sagging.
the only problem is she won't let me drive it because i thrash my viva and she thinks i would do the same to her moggy

yes i do thrash the viva but no i won't thrash th moggy.
i have tried explaining this to her a thousand times but the closest i have been to driving it is testing that the exhaust wasn't blowing!

Some of you guys have it so easy! My other half (after a little gentle persuasion) is really taken with the idea of a nice Type 2 bay window camper, for little holidays and generally being cool etc. However, she couldn't possibly drive one the 10 miles to work each day, and while she still has the rapidly depreciating and boring Astra, funds will never be sufficient for the dream to become reality. |
