Your OH and the wedge

[gog440]

Why don't they understand why we need one in our lives?
My OH just does not understand why I want to buy one,she doesn't understand why I need another car when she has a car, I have my company car yet I want to buy one that we can't all fit in!
She just doesn't get the whole top down noisy car thing, she just isn't a petrol head.
Anyway deal done with pk500 just need to get myself and some readies down to Suffolk then I will officially be a wedger!

It's a man thing mate, they just don't have the gene that sends your heart racing, when you hear the growl of a muscular engine.
My misses has been brought up round motor racing, her dad used to race Astons in 60s ,70s 80,
And has two beautiful Astons, one being a showroom 1979 "7 litre" v8 Volante
So she puts up with my car obsession as she has been brought up with it.

But still she will never truly understand!

My boss thinks it great and I am allowed to buy shiny things for it.

Mine thinks they look like an old piece of st and that if I drove one, people would think that I couldn't afford a decent sports car!

[keatsie]

Surprised my boss hasn't divorced me yet, the amount spent on cars over the years.... Still we live in hope :0)

It was Mrs. Number 7 that got us into Wedges in the first place 25 years ago - I was looking for a 2.8i Capri. We ended up buying a 280i, which I thought was a good compromise.

She hates it, no accounting for taste (ooops just realised she's with me)

I really don't understand these questions I thought wedges were owned by real men.
Not the metrosexual, under the thumb, my wife wares the trousers men

You don't like it tough! its my toy

[carob]

Dont get me wrong, she isnt happy BUT she knows I will be getting one anyway and anyway the compromise was that I promised that when I eventually get the mk2 sold I would pay for the drive re tarmacing (that I want doing anyway lol)

[TVRIK]

Ha ha.. Great minds! I finished off a resto on a MGB GT
And the profit paid to have our drive tarmac'd
The rest paid for the wedge and the work I'm doing to it,
Kept her happy for a month or so, now it's I'm always on that bloody car!

Things will never change! :/

Likewise......

When my friend had a V12 E-type and I had a V12 XJ12 2 door Coupe (amazing the numbrs of people who used to say "I didn't know Jaguar made a 2 door XJ" but I digress) he had a sign that read...

"This car is like my wife....you can look but PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH!"

Mine that was always placed on my XJ when parked next to his E-type didn't have the "like".....

It did make a few people giggle.

Ha ha.. No it's all good mate.. I'm know to say far more outlandish things, I've only been on this forum a couple of months, so just finding my feet... I'll be probably have a whole message censored out before long!
Keep it comin.
