f40-r Posted 15February, 2016 Report Share Posted 15February, 2016 Long story short, got married, had the car delivered to her house on the morning of our wedding and then took her and the car for its official delivery to the dealer. What an experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f40-r Posted 15February, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 15February, 2016 Cheers guys, she def didn't know anything at all... When I took her to pick it up, I dropped off my GT3 to have the interior recommissioned, meaning all new interior pieces installed at the dealer cause I'm that fussy!

spiller Posted 15February, 2016 Report Share Posted 15February, 2016 Nice work. Let me guess which interior bits...the plastic trim on the door sills. They're a bit ratty looking on most of them, even the RS cars with less than 10K on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steering wheel, gear knob, window switches and covers, mats, wheels etc the list goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f40-r Posted 16February, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 16February, 2016 Cheers guys and lol 9er... A few Porsche accessories ? Have to make her feel like she's a part of the team. I worked this out, now she can join me on drive days cause when she does she can't stand any quick accelerations. I think it's all sorted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's all sorted?Clever thinking! Other men have had to replace wives as a result of quick accelerations ; your approach is saving a considerable sum Make sure you save up enough for the baby seats and the accessories that are attached.

turboT Posted 16February, 2016 Report Share Posted 16February, 2016 F40 you seem to be a man with means. In my limited experience with Wives (only had the one) whenever I have upped the level whether it be wine, holidays, cars, houses...diamonds, all I am doing is resetting the 'new norm.' Should have started with a Mini and worked your way up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my limited experience with Wives (only had the one) whenever I have upped the level whether it be wine, holidays, cars, houses...diamonds, all I am doing is resetting the 'new norm.' Should have started with a Mini and worked your way up The problem is that she is also in the corporate world and had a car that is on the same level (BMW 130i convertible) which she had bought brand new for herself so she's very independent but I had to one level it up for her before the cars turn to 4wds for kids.
