ok so DAS is booked

tests all booked

Told the wife i want a Yamaha FJ

she dosn't know it is 1200 CC

and thinks it is a tourer not a sports tourer

i have a history of buying cars and misrepresenting them

till she put her foot down and said no more turbo'ed cars

so i got a super charged one and told her the supercharger was there just a big fan to keep the engine cool and as there is no turbo we need a 4 litre instead

told her the monaro was perfect as no turbo or supercharger she smelt a rat and asked what size? 350 cubic inches and also i saw it do 60 MPG (Down goodwood hill in 6th)

she did put her foot down with the diesel signum which she choose and i found the remap

so she is smelling a RAT i have paid the deposit and have to break the news to her any advice greatfully received

PS please feel free to laugh at my expense

If your partner stops you doing something you want to do, you're with the wrong partner.

I reckon she'll be fine when she sees it - it's not really fearsome looking.

Harleys are a bit too bling bling smile if you ask me and I am a woman after all.
