You know your wife's been brainwashed by PH when..

[jondokic]

...she greets you at the airport, after not having seen you for six weeks, with "Someone's managed to make Flasher go off in a huff !"
I am posting this on a PDA, connecting to our pc 2000 miles away via some kind of (doubtless exceedingly expensive) mobile device which my wife seems to have purchased expressly in order to post on PH whilst she is over here. Who slipped the PistonHeads drug into her bourbon then ?
And she casually slips "ordering a TVR" into the conversation.

Mrs J D seems to be a woman of rare quality Jon, she deserves a nice present when you return.

[jondokic]

I have a nasty feeling she has already drained the overdraft Does anyone here work at HHC ? You may have an order we need to...erm... discuss

[pbrettle]

Now thats better - loose some of those foreign things and balance it out with a bit of british muscle.... you do have to admit though, it would be cheaper than a new Porsche or Ferrari....

And yes, looks like the Ted master plan is kicking in... Anything to add Ted?

I was kind of getting the feeling we were all being brainwashed by Mrs D...

Jon, I should not complain about it, you are very lucky to have a wife that is interested in cars at all!

Especially ones that don't feature any of the following badges nailed to the back:-

Ka
106
Micra



--Chris (who ended up thrashing a Ka over a few hundred miles over the weekend. Good: it's a go-kart. Bad: Needs about 100bhp more... )

I caught Gaffer 'revving up' the electric can opener yesterday...

Looks like the Pistonheads Ministry of Information has claimed another convert, Jon - you know everything said on here is true, so why fight it? It is not possible to stop the influence on your wallet, that PH, TVR, and a decent woman can exert. Might as well go ahead and order that car now! Or sell the F1, and buy one of each TVR model, and still have enough spare cash for all those extended warranties and flashy paint jobs - be very wary if she gets out her favourite ski-boots and starts saying "that colour would look nice on a Tuscan....."

[jondokic]

Favourite ski boots Sugar pink I think.

[flasher]

Glad MrsD had her priorites in order....

[jondokic]

Rumours of your demise are somewhat premature then Flasher ? I hear you had an interesting 'debate' regarding sunroofs and window frames

[plotloss]

Interesting I would suggest is a subjective term...

Well what else are you meant to do whilst waiting for the kettle to boil.

Besides its fun.

My husband got me enthusiastic about cars, now moans that I drag him around Halfords and that I spend too much on car polish
