Yarp, she moans I'm always on this and other Golf/Diesel forums :evil:

Don't care really. She has her obsessions, I have mine. She's a woman and will always moan no matter what I do/say/think/enjoy/want.

Although I did get her giving me a hand last weekend when I done my back in changing the PAS and Alternator belts, her father was like a woman, "don't loosen that, don't smack that with a hammer... Oooooohhhh! you'll never get it back together now" :grin:

I wouldn't say she nags, but she does despair at the amount of cash I spend on it and seeing as my Rallye has just broken down again, I'm resigned to agree with her.

My Mrs says I'm always in a much better mood generally when I have an old golf to play with.........and then grumbles when I spend hours working on it and spend money on spares................... :undecided: I reckon I spend less in a year on the golf than she does on so**ing handbags and purses.........Just can't win  :laugh:

You've misunderstood your missus, hands bags are essential items. Golfs are not.  :grin:

This man speaks the truth. I think my gf is used to all things VW now seeing as I've been into aircooled for the 4 or so years I've been with her. The mk2 is a step up to her as it has heating and doesn't reak of fuel  :grin:

She even wants a Lupo as her first motor

my mrs won't drive my mk2 because she can't get the seat close enough because of the gear stick hitting the recaro seat bolster when attempting 5th.  It was obviously designed to be a man's car!!

If I get any grief I just remind the GF that I had to see my MKV GTI to by a diesel estate when the sprog was born. Or the old "I bought it off  e-bay, it was a bargin!" some times works. At least she loves driving the MK2.

You chopped a MKV GTI for 1 sprog?  :huh: 

Jeez, with 2 kids I'd still have kept it  :grin: 

With the next one, I think a 7 seater may be on the cards  :lipsrsealed:

I got 2 sprogs and a dog and we have a mk4gti and a scoobie, which will soon be replaced by a mk2 gti.
4 doors and a cup holder is all that yoo need for a family car.

A Morego 250 remapped with power grip wishbones and AP 4 pots, MK5 GTI, OH and the GF's MKIV GT TDI. Bought a Mondeo (yes I know) ST estate and then MKII with the money I sold the 4pots for. So you can see why I can win with the emotional black mail.
Still the MKII IS more fun to drive than the MKV. There is more important things than power and grip belive it or not.

She wants to drive it but I'm not so sure with a brand spanking set on schmit th's on it  :shocked:

Well I am the missus with the golf and luckily no, my other half and I spend ages talking about what plans we have for the golf, how much money we need to save up etc etc. And he's been very generous in buying things like a new suspension set up for my xmas present one year. I'm very lucky  :grin:

We also talk a lot about saving up for a sexy M3  :drool:

I think it's best when you have the same interests lol
