Mrs H and I are not in agreement on which cars are to be sold, which to be kept and what to buy.
I want to keep my E28, she wants it to go, I've been putting on my 'sad face' for days but she hasn't crumbled yet...sad face is taking longer than usual to work...I'll keep working on it.
Use the sad face carefully, keep it as a last resort.

Same problem, luckily simple logic eventually won out over irrational emotion.
She wants a 7 seat MPV for going places with her mates & kids. Wanted me to trade in my finance-free Mondeo for one and drive her financed Panda around instead, so that she could still drive a small car when she wanted to. Er, p
s off!

s off!My evo has to go because the Mrs is pregnant (yeah I know it has four doors, a good boot and isofix but the Mrs won't have it). Not all bad as she has given the green light for an M5 touring!!!! Happy face.
Try some bambi eyes and being veeery nice to her.
If that fails explain to her how you love your car more than she loves hers....it might work.

h hide all the cars 
This seems to be quite a common theme on Pistonheads. "Wife says this has to go 
but says I can have this 
". It was like the guy who announced on here the other day that his girlfriend had agreed to marry him (why on earth you would tell anyone on here I don't know) and that she had already agreed to a Land Rover and a TVR. Why the fk do you need to agree this in advance? I don't really get why people are ready to bow to what their wife says is a practical or good car. I can understand her wanting you to have 5 seats or something if you don't have more than two cars, but other than that if it's your car, it is your decision and it is nothing to do with her.
