worzel 03-06-2010 01:58 PM

Explain to her that it is an investment. Its a limited edition so wont drop in value and that your savings are earning nothing in the bank at the moment, so they need to be invested elsewhere. Then when you come to a remap, do as I did, and simply say its due a 'service'. Mine drove like a different car when it was 'serviced', improving everything, so again, was well worth it, adding considerable value to my car. In fact, with all the 'improvements ' made to mine, I estimate it to be worth around £95,000 now. Not bad considering I only paid £27,000 when new. You see, its all about investing it properly. Based on this principle, god knows what worzels car is now worth, but a straight swap for a Veyron wouldnt be out of the question.:grin:

Tell your wiffy that in a few weeks time you will be looking after a forums mates RB5 while they spend 3 weeks in Australia.

(keep your eyes open for a nice RB5 & when you find one buy it, then leave it round a mates house).

Get one of your mates to phone your home (making sure your wife answers it) to explain they are off to Oz and the car is ready to collect.

Go around your mates and collect YOUR car.

Give it two weeks then walk up to your wife with a puzzled look & explain that your mate had just phoned from Oz in a right mood saying he & his wife had just had a huge argument and they have split up.

Find some dodgy mobile phone number that does not exist & tell your mrs you have been ringing your mate numerous times but the phone is dead. Let your wife hear the dead tone on the phone.

Daa Naa ........you are now the proud owner of a RB5 :)

really ? perhaps my idea was a good one then :)

scooby999 04-06-2010 09:25 AM

Say you found the car under a bush in the park , it was wet and lonely ,and had a poorlyfront left tyre.You tryed to walk away but it followed you home and if she wont let you keep it ,it will have to go to car heaven.

If that doesnt work give her a ultimatum the car or her ,at this point you may find yourself sleeping in the car but who cares look who got the car!!!!!!!!

WRX_Paul 04-06-2010 10:07 AM

Buy my WRX as it is MINT, and faster than an RB5, and cheaper

simba 06-06-2010 07:38 PM
