to buying a vRS. Have any?

I've managed to tailgate a 4x4 hatch to show her a Ocy. " Nice colour" she says, so thats a start. She likes the pics i showed her of a vRS i found on Ebay "I like the green thingys in the wheels" she says. Just need more to persuade her to, lets say let me borrow 6.5k to buy one.

Insurance isn't too bad, Full comp for myself with her named is showing at around

:rofl: - that's one way of doing it I suppose :P

Work out what's important to your SWMBO and then try to match it up to the car.

Things like heated seats and ISOFIX in the Furby were popular for SWMBO in my case. I have since purchased a 'few' items as per my sig that she doesn't really have much knowledge about (or interest in, for that matter). As she's gonna be buying her own little car it should mean I get left to my own devices - just need to make sure I stop spending :rofl:

get her in one and on a test drive that should sort it out :)

the police use them

Get one in pink?

tell er you could take a driving holiday as a second honeymoon and it would be the perfect car :D

You Blagger she'll never fall for that one!!!

Dont buy a VRs - get a "sensible" Elegance spec 4x4 then have it remapped ;)

there is some one on here that has on there profile the line

'octavia vrs the thinking persons hot hatch'

really...always had you as being alot older....

Joel

:rofl: you're the second person to say that to me in as many days!

You have to talk her round? Who wears the trousers in your house? :P:rofl:

Chris

If you want the car buy it :rolleyes:

I don't see why you need permission, I would never let Mr P. tell me what I could/couldn't buy

:rofl: you're the second person to say that to me in as many days!

Could be the elegance estate.... counjers up images of flat caps, pipe, and slippers...

lol

obviously never met you... but its funny how you get an idea about someone from there car, and forum presence.... this is why i dont understand why people can say they fall in love with some one on the net... they fall in love with the person they think they know...the reality as in this case is very diffrent...

anyways sorry for the post highjack...:D

Joel

As others said, depends what she likes / doesn't like. With me the Octy was easy to sell with a baby on the way:

a) safer than the old banger Mondeo I had, with good brakes etc; and

B) huge boot for all the baby crap.

... obviously she knew that it would also be fun, but the practicality side of the car sold it to her :thumbup:

I don't need her permission, but i do need my hearing and her talking is like white noise! Awful!

I was married a month after turning 23, she was 43! it takes all sorts hey!

Tell you what, going back to insurance, Went to visit a mate yesterday, he put my details in to Privilege

I'm 25 and have a wife aged 24.

Im a lot older

Proceed with extreme caution and pay full regard to the stars (or other relevant calendar). And get some training first, eg go on a Longleat Safari Park winter tour and get out of the tour vehicle when amongst the lions and go and pet the largest on the mane. HTH. :(

Must be, as internet folk seem to think I'm older than I actually am.

In response to the earlier post regarding having a wife at 24 I got married at 26 but we've lived together since we bought our first house when I was 19 and she was 18.

How old are you, Eddy? I'd always thought about 40 ?

I'm sure you've asked me before on MSN but just incase you're serious I'm 27.
