Airhead Posted 18April, 2013 Report Share Posted 18April, 2013 It’s my wife’s birthday next week. What should I get for her? Flowers? She doeslike them but they are a bit traditional aren’t they? Wine? She likes a glass but it’s not a lasting gift is it? Chocolate? OK but she’s not a choccy freak. I Know. As I refer to her as SWLTDF (She Who Likes to Drive Fast) I think the only appropriate present it one of these. It arrives tomorrow.

Ben C3.o Posted 18April, 2013 Report Share Posted 18April, 2013 Very nice. I hope this doesn't set any type of precedence for you to try and top it next year. Although, here's hoping she tries to outdo you come your birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 22April, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 22April, 2013 We collected the car on Friday morning. She was just a little bit happy. And of course we had to go for a cruise on sunny Saturday. And then we took it to Classic Showcase on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
