Title: do not insure the wife
Post by cossie_al on Aug 7^th, 2006, 12:08am

well guys and gals just got my good lady insured for the scorp via ford insure under written by norwich union okay it cost me £100 more than normal but I thought over the year I would probably spend more than this on taxis.
so the more observant members may remember me posting about the type of comments the wife made when I first purchase the scorp.
things like
that car is too big, blah blah
nearly three litre what about road tax blah blah
what do you mean cosworth how can that car be of any viable use to us etc etc
today she ate every single word including the ones about the cost of the mot etc.
she has driven it for about 250mile round trip today and absolutely adores it she even said you can have the pug 206 as these keys are mine and you have no chance of getting them back.
On the way home a 5 series BM came past and cut in on us Janette uttered a number of expletiffes and put her toe into the shag pile and did the usual cossie type getaway. :D
For a while I felt proud but the reality started to hit home I am soon to loose my beloved motor to the wife.
please help how can I make the wife hate my car :'( :'(

Hmmm, tried the one about filling it up shes happy to as long as she gets to use the fuel.
I told her I would do a swap for er pug 206 then sell it and get another scorp ;) ;)
but she wasnt up for it if it meant having two scorps on the drive. You just can't win one minute she wants my car all the time and the next we have to keep the pug makes no sense to me but thats women all over ::) ::) ::)
Now I saw some rather large spiders when I mucked my shed out, where is that jam jar ;)
