Wife - Touareg

Me - Saab Aero

She still cannot work out why she cannot keep up on the drive home from work. Apparently, weight shouldn't matter as her car makes 240hp and mine 250hp - she knows this and moans constantly, as it isn't that big a difference. ( overall weight doesn't equate to the gap she sees)

OK - she doesn't know mine has a stage 2 upgrade and BTCC spec ( as per year of manufacture) suspension, which gives me an every-so slight edge, as long as it isn't raining!.

For putting up with my motoring 'foibles' for more years than I care to remember, I bought my other half this car back in 2003. She is the most un-car enthusiast person in the known Universe but, how about this, she loves driving this car:~

Me: TVR Chimaera

O/H: Civic Type-S

She wanted a sensible commuting car, but left me to do the buying. Didn't tell her it had 160bhp until after we picked it up. I drive it occasionally, and didn't want something completely gutless to trundle around in.

Jealous of some of you blokes with petrolhead partners, though. If my O/H had access to anything properly pokey she'd have it embedded nose first into the nearest Tesco within a day. Hence, she isn't insured on the TVR.

I've always fancied one of the V6 versions of these in that colour. The ZS is supposedly completely transformed compared to the Rover 45?

My OH drives a mk4 Fiesta 1.25 Ghia, great little thing if too small for me. Nice revvy engine as well if a bit gutless smile

Mine had one of these for years. Good steering & chassis for a shopping car. Would have made a decent warm hatch if it had another 50 bhp. And I suppose large chunks of it evolved into the Puma.

She used to have a Ford Ka. Moved into central London so had to get rid. Bought it off her and now it's my sister's car.

I don't think it was ever serviced during her years of ownership. frown (spark plug debacle and all that).
