Oops!!! How do I hide this from the GF...

[kiethton]

Beer + ebay = oops

I loved the last one... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... but it was sold in august after pressure from SWMBO as it was too chavvy - must have been reminded of it....

Thankfully we don't live together but I need to hide it for a while (ideally until a ring trip in March) but otherwise until I can introduce it as a 'weekend' car despite already having a 540i, working in the city mon-fri and saving for a house deposit...

Worst case I'll have to sell it again, at £2.3k in for a straight 2004 120k miler with FSH I can't go too far wrong I guess....

job done

Keep it at the parent's/mate's house. Or just man up, and tell her. She can like it or lump it.

[kiethton]

Indeed, It's only short term share profits so can have fun with it for a bit...

This.

[vrooom]

what? grow a balls.

[rb5er]

Indeed, just grow a pair. Its hardly a caterham anyway, its a 2.0 hatchback.

[kiethton]

Indeed think this will be done, my cash I guess

The 540 will have to move from the drive for road space though...

Looks lovely, my wife is pressuring me to buy her one, she loves them.

[AdvanceRoadcraft]

Give it to the GF as a surprise Christmas present?

[kiethton]

If only!

I'm still trying to sell her old car after paying for her replacement 10 days ago....

Do what a certain Bovine member did and imagine the whole thing...

[LaurasOtherHalf]

welshbeef! Your help is needed!

[mybrainhurts]

Tell her you found it in a field next to a TVR.

[Welshjohn]

If she does not know you own it.how will she know it's yours could belong to next door

'Borrowed it off a mate'

By the time she catches on, it's too late!


My gf, and my ex's have all put up with me buying cars on a whim, im on my 11th car so far in 2 years of driving.

I swapped my Passat one day with a mk2 Golf i found on Ebay. My girlfriend had just turned up at my house 20 minutes before i was meant to be doing the deed with the Golf's owner at his house.

Grabbed my dad, told him what was happening. Left the gf with my mum, an told them I was just going to Halfords. Came back with the Golf

I got away with it too!

I dropped the missus off a few years ago in our VR6 at work and picked her up in our first Evo, she was not best pleased at the time!

Looks a nice car for the money. If I was nearer I'd be offering to look after it for you.
