Does your better half shed or barge?

[Fattyfat]

You know the score, the lusting after heavy and potentially borkful metal. Hours spent on autotrader, eBay et al, here and elsewhere sourcing all sorts of woefully inappropriate and oversized cars which of course will make our lives better. Man maths calculations and the usual routine of massive fuel and maintenance bills. Or the alternative, cheap wheels picked up and run into the ground, rinse and repeat but all met with derision from our friends and colleagues for whom a German diesel on oversized wheels is the answer. Good fun and all that but...

...does your significant other approve or even partake?

A few days ago I spotted what looked like a very presentable Volvo V70, phase 1 model full of service history and heated leather for basically pocket money. Thought it'd be ideal for the wife and kids, plenty of room, safety and wipe clean seats and as a result infinitely better than a new car on the never never, but no - I was a fool for suggesting she drive such a thing although I've had Volvo estates before and a mixture of barges/ sheds over the past 6 years and currently have a large cheap Alfa on the drive.

What's the consensus from the PH community? Does anyone have a partner who indulges in sheds or silly V8 barges?

(Basically a 'what does your wife drive' thread)
