I can see the classic mistake you are making. You asked her. You don't ASK women, you TELL them. Try it, it's worked on all of my previous five wives! :thumbsup: :P
Oh, I’ve already made your mistake with the EX Mrs and what a bl00dy costly mistake that was, there won’t be a number 2bto make the same mistake with :wink:

I’m also saying that as if it’s a complaint, it’s not, she’s the one wanting the fastest one, me for once I’m trying, unsuccessfully, to insert some logic and reasoning. It also means I’m clearing myself of all blame for going over budget :lol:

    It’s not the performance issue, her car is the 335 and it is no slouch - I’m puzzled.
    As I’ve said, Kathleen loves it but won’t drive it. It was actually part of her response when I asked about a 30i, she said she loves the speed and the buzz of the faster one. I wonder if it’s low driving position and the length of the bonnet that puts her off as she’s quite short 5’3

      My mrs won't drive my V90, apparently it's too big! I keep telling her she is supposed to drive it, not carry it. She also refuses to use cruise control on any car, ever, cos she doesn't trust it! :roll: Oh and apparently ANY roundabout has to be negotiated in 2nd gear, no matter what.
      Don't you just love 'em?
      All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

      That’s the thing, I’m most definitely not discouraging the M40 but she’s that feckin set on colour and spec combinations that a 30i popped up yesterday with everything she wanted but was an absolute no when I said it was a 30, and even though I’m saying she’s not interested in cars that much I’ve a feeling she’d notice the noise difference between the two.

        Manual I presume. I overheard her saying to a friend once that she liked the feeling of a knob in her hand. Don't know what she meant :oops:

        I had to nip out to get a card and a present today as I didn't dare to think about the repercussions having not acted on the 5 not so subtle hints that it was Valentines day this weekend. So here is a nice v8 grumble for you to listen to.
