(from Steve) to r8dream
MMM I Know such a woman and belive me its not that good LOL. She know how much things cost's, so cant say things cost £20 when they really cost over a £100. Plus then u have to share the spare money, so both cars can be played with.

So be carefull what you wish for LOL.

Five minutes after we stacked the old '8 I returned to my wife, pointed at the front of our car and then at the Clio. "We're getting another one dearest, any questions?"

Something tells me she may not be as cooperative if I want to upgrade to an "S" though .
