...When I came in tonight she said "I saw an A-reg Chevette today... I thought of you..." ...Not sure wether to take it as a compliment or not... ;D She did say she didn't think it had been slammed, so she's learning...
|
|
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.

That's great..my wife tells me when she sees an old Skoda,usually a Favorit as the rear engined ones are pretty scarce nowadays. She's almost as addicted as me, in fact my old Skoda that I had for over 14 years holds a lot of special memories for us,and I'm not talking about on the back seat either! Rapid rear seats aren't really suitable for those antics!

My girl's getting there - some of her tastes are still a bit dubious though . I've told her that having a "shopping list" on the side of her Mk2 Goof would be grounds separation though. ;D Still, she no longer thinks that we all drive round in rusty unwanted cars with oil barrels strapped to our roofs. That's progress...

My missus is allways on the lookout for vw campers,when I met her she had a brand new car,followed by a bunch of sensible curse word like Renault Scenics,etc.Now her daily driver is a 25 year old Devon moonraker ;D (you should've seen her face when I showed her the toilet install though,hehehe!)

my girlfriend owns more retro-tin than I do..... the bus is classed as 'ours' (mainly by me ha ha), she's got a beach buggy and a beetle and a mk3 polo GT... just sold the corrado but is looking to get a mk2 8v Gti Golf soon sadly though, she admits she doesn't like certain retro-looks that get championed on here... but she'll learn.... (currently she struggles with my obsession with slammed-over-wide-black-steelies -and-nato-green 'look') she also doesn't see the point of that RX7... she will learn....

Katie's always spotting stuff on her way up and down the M1 to work. She knew a bit about cars before we met and has had nearly 10 years learning on top of that now! As a result of this forum she told me about a couple of Volvos yesterday! Oh, and of course she does drve a "retro" car every day and hate's it when she has to drive anything else!

My wifes blind to tat and autoshite I'm afraid.
However I did hear an (8?) year old girl walk past my tub and say 'oooh look a 70's Volvo!' - her parents ignored her unfortunatley - great potential future Autoshitist!

My GF is warming to possible project No4, and she found it! All thanks to her getting chatted up by some big headded toffs on fri night, realising how great and harmless tat collecting is.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

My girlfriend is cool too. Not only has she got a 20 year old mini, she tells me about retro tin she's seen and got really excited when I showed her all the MK1 golfs on here. Think I know what her next car will be ;D

Mine loves old beetles, now recognises old skodas and Saabs when she sees them, and the other days says "Saw a vauxhall you would like at work". She knows I hate modern VX's "It was green, I think it was a Viva". Good girl, she is learning.

My fiancee loves old cars, she used to use the Mk1 Polo every day and loved it, was really sad to sell it. Now she drives a Lupo 16v, not exactly retro but it will be in another 10 years!
She reguarly comes home and tells me of old cars she's seen out and about and chav type cars she's raced in the Lupo! I've created a monster! ;D

My girlfriend is nt cool and anything that doesn't look vaguely new is an old banger. Still at least she came in when I was watching Hotrod and said "Ooh you can have one of those, but only if it's high like that..." pointing at the gassered hemi Willys.
Winner!

Mine is tolerant - a few times reports back what she's seen (including a "bus thing" (splitty) and "one like yours" (a fastback)) - most fantastically though she started up a secret fund, stashing fivers cos she knew we'd have no spare cash to take to dubfreeze likes shows, but for the sun and beer usually. They have a switch Excellent!

Never trust a man Who names himself Trevor. Or one day you might find He's not a real drug dealer.
