In most cases we all know what each other drives. Thought it might make for an interesting thread as to what our other halfs drive. Retro? Or is theirs the practical modern? Before she passed her test, i got hold of this... impulse buy! But she decided she wanted it and laid claim to it. Sold before she passed, just aswell, insurance wasnt cheap for a new driver being a 2.8 4x4 After that i had a 2.0 4x4 estate for a while she also had her eye on! Ended up starting out with this when she passed her test about 4 years back: Then we moved to a new place 300 yards from where she worked so she didnt need a car, I brought my saff diesel and this was then the spare car, she started working elsewhere so I gave her this: She loved it, but after talks we decided to sell it for summut with cheaper tax, better economy and cheaper insurance! So we got this.... which was good for all exept the cheaper insurance bit ;D It's kinda turned into the main practical car for the tw of us, but she does like to remind me it's her car (even tho I paid for it)

My missus drives a Candy Apple red Figaro...which is pretty much a retro now seeing as it's about 20 years old. Just gotta get some pinstriping done and some moondiscs and she'll be happy (this isnt hers BTW, I havent got a picture of it)

Pics to follow but SWMBO drives a 58 plate Mercedes C220 CDI with all the toys and AMG kit. It's lovely, and we use it if we go any further than into town (She pays for the fuel and I drive! It's a Win/Win situation )

Vicky's the sensible half of us. She earns wayyyy more than me, but has no interest in cars whatsoever, as the following list of the stuff she's owned since we hooked up in January 1995 will attest to.
1993 Ford Fiesta 1100 Azura 1994 Ford Escort 1600LX 1996 Ford Fiesta 1300LX 1997 Ford Ka 1999 Ford Fiesta 1400 Ghia 2000 Ford Puma 1700 Lux 2003 Ford Fiesta Zetec 2006 Ford Fiesta Zetec
Exciting, huh??? Having said that she's still planning to buy a camper in 2010 if we can afford a decent Bongo Frendee.

one of these- nah, she don't drive. she loves my eclectic selection of curse word cars though- she likes the senator best of the ones ive had on the road, but she loves the model A as much as i do it seems! and the prefect will be at her disposal if she ever bothers to do her test. but ive just upgraded her to a trek jack for christmas, that she don't know about yet

A Capri of course! Now..... where'd she go? That Lara Lou on the roof of the capri, its hers, runs a V8, sidepipes, a full cage and metal spikes along the front wings. My other half drives the pickup in my siggy, her choice, thats what she wanted. In fact, heres Lara agin, she's good mates with a mate of mine, she did some of the welding on the car herself.
