What do do..........Sag may go
Discussion
Well after much discussion with the management and a touch of realism…….NOT selling the Sag 
Going to keep it especially after putting a lot into it and getting the car just as I want it. Fact is it’s a great car and I can’t think of anything that comes close….including a new kitchen.

Best decision - almost Going to keep it especially after putting a lot into it and getting the car just as I want it. Fact is it’s a great car and I can’t think of anything that comes close….including a new kitchen.
So the spec for a new house ?
3 car garage. space and height for a 4 post lift, a pit, off road parking for 6 cars, cul de sac, country and town location, within a mile of an NSL twisty, flat for cycling, near station, away from noise, no schools, no supermarkets, no churches, no flat roofs, no dodgy wiring, no houses built in last 50 years, must have wood fires, arga, room for a pony etc etc
Make sure house is priced at 110% of value plus 110% the value of TVR
Refuse to discuss putting house on market until you find and have offer accepted on new place.
Be picky, blame your attitude on how wonderful your current house is. Refuse to accept compromise as "I'm looking after your interests dear, and I love it but"
And worst case pay for a full structural survey and slip the surveyor a back hander.

After two and a half years of deliberation on house move and selling the Sag all is goodness. Architects are commissioned, wife is happy with new kitchen plans, Sag is in the garage, Sag is all upgraded, never got sold.....all is goodness.
I think she will be happy as long as I don't park the car in her kitchen.
To all those marriage guidence experts .....thanks....result
tbh sounds like you need to man the F up.... i read so many posts like this on these car sites and i wonder if its the OP making excuses because he wants out, or if they really are that wet that they can be dictated to by their OH in such a way... if my partner asked me to get rid of my pride and joy after 6 months to look at new houses / furniture / kitchens , id tell her firmly where to go, its NOT an option in my household, unless we are in dangerous financial circumstances. Thats my little piece of joy, thats just for me and my son to enjoy together, i get she doesnt share that and she has her own things , but no way will she ever have a say whether it stays or goes. That decision is firmly with me, and if i NEED to make it i would of course.
MAN the HELL up.
MAN the HELL up.

Read before you shoot.MAN the HELL up.
OP 2.5 years ago.
Having now owned my Sagaris for 3 years, and having spent a small fortune on it, managing the other half has nothing to do with manning the f up......it is the delicate art of money laundering.
As for getting out, whatever that means, the Sagais isn't going anywhere.

Great your not selling.
You know the saying... "MONEY CANT BUY YOU HAPPINESS... BUT IT CAN BUY YOU A TVR... AND THATS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING!"
Soon enough not even money will get you a true TVR as in AJP or Speed 6 as they are the last of a real dead art and no one is gonna wanna sell.
