He'll be a more mature driver, possibly retired, who decided to completely ignore his wife's disapproval and bought the car he'd always wanted but circumstance / money / kids had, till now, prevented. She drives a mint 2003 Pug 206 called 'Millie' with half leather seats and 80k+ miles on the clock... Turns out that her disapproval has turned into quiet rage which has manifested itself in the form of a complete ban on using her car for trips to the tip (for our colonial friends - that's a landfill, but tidier). As a result he needed to fit the tow bar for the small trailer he had to buy for getting rid of garden waste - QED.
It's not all bad though - he's had the trailer painted sapphire black and fitted with 10" 108's, and he's got a hard-top & 2 removable child-sized M Sport seats for when the grandchildren visit. Sorted.
