When I first met her she drove a Suzuki SJ410. How we've both changed in the past 12 years :lol:

Been driving it the past few of days.
Man, it is sooo sweet, best (& most expensive :oops: )vehicle I've ever owned. Had two people ask if it was for sale, (well, until they find out the ball-park price that is!! :lol: )
Its got the original radio/tape player fitted. Had a route around in the back of my 'man draw' found some great old tapes (even some I'd put together myself, remember doing that? Fantastic!) .......Retro! :pimp Loving it!

Mine too but mine also thinks they are pointless. Go figure. So I use her car when I have anything disgusting to go to the dump just to make a point.

I spent all Monday afternoon vacuuming dog hair and mud out of the missus' Sharan (Her thing is dog agility) Why she won't keep them in the back and tethered is anyone's guess :roll: I have a feeling that I'll quietly put it on ebay for the cash and give her the keys to the Syncro; it's so shabby anyway the mud won't show. Inside or out :lol:
Why do women abuse cars like that? I had to take a mountain of garden waste to the tip in the Microbus :shock:

We were going on holiday in the wides car once and I couldn't hack the filth so I bit the bullet and spent 7 hours cleaning just the inside. Had to remove the rear seats and half the interior panels to clean it properly. I have the kids in my car often enough but know better than to leave crap in the back.
