Default Ditching your car for a woman

Not me obviously as my missus caught the car bug as well

A really good friend of mine is currently loved up and has mentioned selling his car. I'm rather concerned by this as I can see him getting rid of his project and possibly being left with fook all.

Would anybody get rid of their pride and joy for a girl you've only known a couple of months?

From my point of view, there are hundreds of women about but you try finding a decent 2 door mk1 escort.

If it's the right one, then absolutely!

Unfortunately, my Dad sold his 911 Carrera RS lightweight after marrying my mum, and they're now worth an absolute fortune

I had an RS2000 Mark 2 X PACK with a Janspeed turbo conversion I had
to sell when I got married to pay for my house deposit.

The guy who bought it, drove it into a brick wall 3 days later and wrote it off

I still have the cars, but mean nothing in comparison to her Oh well

No way. Only time i would sell is if my girlfriend got pregnant. Then the cossie would go because a baby is more precious than a lump of metal

Its okay to get rid of it because you need the money to pay for a house etc but not just because she wants you to get rid. If thats her attitude jog her on because ain't that considerate.

Imagine if you tried to stop her from doing she liked. She'd go mad if you told her she could never do the cooking or cleaning again!

I would never expect Matt to sell the cars


It was bad enough when we decided to sell the 3dr......


On a serious note tho, if someone says they LOVE you, then they should love everything about you, and if cars are your passion then that should be included!!

It would be selfish IMO to expect ya man to give up there hobby!!!

Agree with you totally Lorraine, Id never want ANY guy to sell a car for me, one of our mates, sold every car he had to get a house with his mrs, turns out she'd been having an affair with a guy she worked with before they even moved in together then he found out, they split up she was left in the house he was left with nothing, the way I see it NO girl is worth selling your car unless like Rich says you need to, for a reason like shes pregant

You mean she isn't good enough to turn you straight?

Gracie,
I thought you had a boyfriend? What happened to your "toy-boy" and who did you go to Vegas with?

Hi Smidsy ,
Cheers for that .

Did you leave while the fire alarm was still going or stay to the bitter end? Did I miss anything other than concourse bollocks ?
