Title: Surprised the Mrs with....
Post by: otto-mate on October 01, 2010, 10:27:16 pm
Surprised the Mrs today with her dream car.  She nearly feinted when she opened our garage door :)

DSG-tastic!  I'm thinking I might be driving it as much as her :)

What a pressie! She obviously deserves it. Is she a bit of a 'driver' then?

Throbbin' Red too. They say that girlies are naturally attracted to red things  :evilgrin:

We want to see pics in due course, please  :party:










....and of the car  :evilgrin:

After last 7 or 8 years of Subaru's and an M3 (http://ottomate.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/bmw-e46-m3-review/), middle-age-dom has now kicked in and I now drive an diesel X5 :)

Hi Tara, Mrs Otto was in nasty accident in August...

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F12277%2Fpassat.jpg&hash=c93c894685d1eaf978d5a95a14da3719b7500bf3)

She was so glad she was surrounded by quality VW German metal and many airbags.   So I was delighted to be able to surprise her with her dream car and give her a bit of a lift :)

Thanks

Ouch! What happened - Did she hit a kerb and collapse the suspension? Or was it a glancing blow from another motorist?

Glad she was ok  :smiley:

Old boy came out round parked lorry on his side of road to meet her nearly head on.  She got as far over towards wall as she could and he clipped her front wheel and went along the car.

Thanks

Probably the same as your wife! It was her dream car too. We can ride on these successes for ages  :grin:

Your wifey has excellent taste in cars  :happy2:

The average wife just sees a car as a means of travelling from A to B   :sad1:

Cheers, she also has excellent taste in men  :grin:

She is very hard to please when it comes to cars. There's only about 4 or 5 cars in the world she would accept! Luckily for me this is what I wanted too (that I could afford anyway!). To be honest, she probably drives it harder than I do and she certainly wouldn't accept a car being used for simply A to B. Good job she prefers this to something 'flash' like a Ferrari. I have ben told that if I ever get a gallardo, she won't even sit in it as she doesn't like 'ostentatious' cars  :sad1:
