Cat's away, mice play, etc.....
Hubs away for the week and I've got the keys to SEAC (he only got it yesterday)
First, went to work, then out at lunchtime, then back to work, then out again, then home, then out again. Tucked up in garage now with no petrol left! So I guess that's it then. Will have to ask for raise in housekeeping! I've had a great Monday!
Sorry N, tell you what - you can have a go in me Wedge next week (you'll have to put some petrol in)
I know he'll read this

I've just seen the pictures that Neil posted yesterday, very nice. We'll have to meet up again next time you're out spending his money.

At least on the SEAC there's somewhere to put my handbag whilst I unload the shopping! (Only joking guys, don't let's start Girls and their Tivs IV !)

Seriously, I was a little apprehensive at first given all that I'd heard and especially as it's been raining. So gave us a bit of time to get to know each other. Initially, I trundled round every roundabout, didn't press the pedal to hard but then the A34 loomed - lovely dualcarriage way.......I was smiling my face off. WOW, it goes a bit. Little bit of an eeek going 2nd to 3rd (sssshhh don't tell him).

Not used to right way up rev counter though.

Posted by Mrs H,

Ok, so a week has passed and I have to now confess. Whilst the SEAC was in my care, I managed to smash the windscreen big style (don't ask) . Divorce was looming! I'm surprised Neil did'nt get in here first but I think he was still However, I'm still alive and married so it must be

Glad my misses thinks the steerings too heavy along with a heavy clutch for her to drive, once in the passenger seat was enough for me, thank you

Are you sure that isn't a typo for "Hey JL! Bolton is shut on Mondays"?

Seeing that you're a fellow 390SE owner, I'll let that one pass.

Mrs H was lucky that I was in Ireland at the time she decided to tell me . Fortunately three days later when I got back , I had calmed down a little .

The amazing thing was that the factory actualy had one in stock .

NH - what they charge for the screen then?
When I went to buy my first Wedge back in 1990 my wife used to go bonkers when it was her turn to test drive so I decided to go the 350 route instead of the 400 for her preservation purposes. When she went out in the 350 with a friend she'd tootle off quietly until she thought she was out of my ear shot then nail it. Upon returning I'd always say "bet you thrapped it" - "no darling" she'd say with a back drop of pings and similar noises from the extremely warm 350. 10plus years wiser & older she doesn't thrape the SEAC nor in fact the 400 which precedded it - probably cos I keep saying I must fix X & need to sort Y. Mrs H - enjoy and hats off to you for taming a SEAC
