Why do you need permission from your wife to buy a car?

Because I bruise easily..

It's not about permission, both our incomes are household income so I wouldn't make any significant purchase without there being concensus.

Well said. My wife would probably leave me if I bought a car like that on a whim.

Hang on, where's me cheque book :laugh:

Hi Andy (Drisser), I really surprised you're thinking of selling your Clubsport.

I remember watching your posts when you bought it and thought it looked stunning!!
Pretty much the exact /colour/spec I nearly ordered, other than me going for 5 doors. No discounts put me off at the time as the price was over £35K.

Anyway, once your out for one more blast on a B road the thought of selling will disappear.

If my January order doesn't get a confirmed date soon I may be back in touch as its now starting to grind a tad when I see people with far later orders being given their dates. Its not that I cant wait its more the attittude of VW at the moment.

I'm pretty sure that if your willing to let it go though, it'll sell in no time.

Bugger that. We keep our own money so we can buy what we like. We both know that the other is sensible enough not to get into something they can't afford, or need the other to bail them out if it all goes wrong. There will never be any arguments about money in our house that way.

Trust and understanding, so long as everyone is happy :smiley: Tbh, I think I would struggle a bit to justify even to myself spending circa £10k on top of my perfectly good GTI for another similar one not matter how much I'd like to.
