turboT Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 “If I have to get a new car I only want a Macan or an Audi RS6” to give context the conversation started with me negotiating a reduction in my current car stable.

MARTY Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 This probably isn’t the place for this but the RS6 is a great car,I wish my wife would come up with demands like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC9911 Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 Sounds very well trained Tom, but “ self inflicted wound” comes to mind. Just so you feel better, my wife, GLA 250 with AMG says washers don’t work, maybe I should get BMW X3. Me, you think it’s worn out with 42,000klms ?

JB Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 Ha try this. my landrover is no longer needed it’s too big, I need something smaller as I’m just driving around town now. (*landrover driven on two wheels- regular brakes and tyres) if your getting me a new car (am I? ) it has to be a Macan. wtf? so somehow I bought a Macan last week delivered next week as a surprise...?

thumperson Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 Yeah it happens like that. My wife used the stolen family car excuse to convert my M6 into a Macan GTS. The woman is a genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9fan Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 Last month I said we should downsize from the family truckster (Liberty wagon) as we only need kiddy seats in the back - our family now have their own children. She said as long as it's an auto for the occasions I get to drive it and lot's of safety features ! Brought home an M135 and just said it will look after you - just don't play with the buttons. It took her 3 weeks before she had friends asking her is that the Sports model ? I said yes - that's what the buttons are for. I said I wanted to go to the track in 2 weeks. She said take the BM, the Porsche doesn't have airbags. OK ! Might even try the Launch Control . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI, the indicators don't actually work on the BMWs, or they stop working after a few K's on the dial. Common problem and as far as i know, BMW have not come up with a solution just yet.

tazzieman Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 I have 6 registered classics , and one almost regoed. They do the job as dailies and grocery getters . My wife told me yesterday I "needed" a small sporty runabout eg MB AMG. But I'm not convinced I really need another car! btw there was certainly no talk of me reducing the fleet. Tom to be the local Maharajah you just need more land ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 I bought another car this week as my daily dogwagen, after very briefly mentioning it in conversation a few weeks ago. That makes it 5 cars at home all registered. Wife said last night “how did this BMW happen, I really don’t remember us agreeing to that” closely followed by “that’s quite a shopping trip I’m now owed” ?

Tips Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 Mine decided she needed an upgrade for the 6km round trip to work each day. She mentioned we should look at small SUV that was a little refined but not something boring and lots of gadgets. Easy GLC43 now sits in the garage ?. Im now convincing her we don’t need 2 suv’s, so working on a cunning plan to convert the Macan into a 911 by years end ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
