absolute disaster

[siwes]

I bought my wife a new car, so far so good, she cleared out all the motoring documents when her old car went, here's the crunch she has thrown out nearly three years of history and recipts for my Griff , the history of some 9000 pounds worth of parts and work GONE!!
In the heat of the moment I mentioned that I would rather she had thrown out our wedding pictures, things went downhill from there.
There is a lesson to be learned from this , well there are a lot of lessons but the most important one is never ever have anything to do with women ever.
very upset

Can you go back to the servicing dealers and get duplicate info?

[dougal]

Don't worry, it's a perfectly normal thing for a woman to do, fortunately my much better half just tends to hide important paperwork.

I'm sure you can get duplicates.

9k!!!!!! You could almost buy a Griff for that!

[jam1et]

Gutted.

What is it with women throwing vital stuff away without consultation?

If any women are reading this I appologise - I forgot to say you also cant resist tidying our stuff away and putting it somewhere 'safe' only for it never to see the light of day again

Lorraine hangs on to all her receipts. I've just managed to get her to let me burn the insurance policy for the last Ka (sold in Jan 2001).

She normally gets round to chucking shopping receipts away when our rabbit "helps" with the filing

[the real Flash]

Not just women who do things like this...

My Dad chucked a huge load of valuable autographed footy memorabillia away a few years ago. I'm still gutted now....but he's my Dad so I can't really get angry!

Funny how women always feel the need to tidy our "rubbish" away while their heaps of crap lie undisturbed only feet away.........

[Graham B]

Blimey, not good.

On a slightly different note, why is it they can chuck out something as important as service history but trying to get them to to chuck out all their old handbag's and shoes is completely unachievable?!

[tvradict]

talking of chucking out womens stuff.

My dad used to hide items of my step mums wardrobe. If she didn't notice within six months....BIN

Sorry about the History mate.

Can you get it duplicated??

Oh, and I hope things have started going up-hill again

Yep, women should know their place, and only do what the Boss says when he says it. note to self - this is open season on not cooking or shopping or cleaning without consultation -ever

Si - having read your car's history in your many posts, I'd have thought that losing some of those receipts would be a blessing in disguise . All those things going wrong in such a short space of time was never going to convince a potential buyer, especially if they were the nervous type. Ask garages for receipts for any upgrades or replacements that would enhance its saleability and forget the rest.

Oh and chaps, if all your receipts and history were in a file marked 'history of my p&j' like mine are , then no-one would chuck them, would they?

[Pies]

I'm going to look at this from a slightly different angle

I have my cars history neatly filed away in a nice folder the front is marked "TVR History Do not discard"

If yours was filed like this and your wife threw it away then she is deserving of a few words coming her way,but i bet it wasn't

Sorry but i think you should accept some blame

errrm, yes.

Although my lovely wife would probably just move them somewhere else and then claim to have never seen them before in her life!! Then, when found filed under "piccies of puppies and fluffy bunny-wunnies" would still say that she had never touched them.

I winced when i read that, i sincerely hope that your wife doesn't come from a similar breeding stock to mine, if i had said that, she would have discarded the weding pictures alright and i would have had difficulty sitting down for a week,
sorry to hear that though.
You should be able to get copies of invoices from suppliers, if you bought anything from us just email me.

Noooooooo!

Women and their tidying up. SO annoying!

When back packing i managed to get a really good perfect shark jaw with all the rows of teeth still intact. I packaged it really carefully in my back pack and still managed to get it through further travels and home in one piece.
Then a couple of days after a recent "tidying" session had occured the sharks jaw had disappeared!
have searched the house for it but fear its ended up in the big green filling cabinet.

(Its nothing compared to £9K of history though. that is a disaster. Go back to the dealers/workshops and see if they can duplicate receipts).

[Zorro]

Nachtmerrie indeed, hope u can forgive her. My mum threw out my cigarette/cigar box collection when I was 13...had over 300 packets/boxes including some quality havana cigar cases I kept in a huge box under my bed........still haven't forgiven her to this day lol

Obviously I meant to say 'throwing my vital stuff away without consultation' She's more than welcome to chuck her own crap away without asking. Chance would be a fine thing though.

Well you do surprise me!

[apache]

when's the divorce mate?

[v8 racing]

And thats why i'm single and very happy with it!! although if there are any petrol headed 6ft swedish blondes on here i may reconsider!! on a serious note people have to keep there books records for 6 years for tax reasons so you should be able to get copies with out too much hassle!!
