Title: If you want something done....get your wife on the case....
Post by: matchboy on 18 September 2013, 16:28
Ok, so having been told my car had had its transport order requested on Monday I then found out it hadn't been requested at all (it had been unloaded at Sheerness on Saturday). Losing the will to live I started to give up hope of a weekend collection, and a combination of anger, frustration and despair had set in.

In steps the missus.  Gets on the blower to the group manager at lunch, and to cut a long story short within 4 hours the car has just turned up at the dealers and she's arranged for me to take delivery tomorrow.  Going in to the dealership to sign the finance docs now (and to take a sneaky look/pics at my new motor)!

Moral of the story - if you want something done get your wife who's sick and tired of hearing you moan and groan to deal with the problem!!  :laugh:

I can relate to what your saying matchboy, except it's my mother who seems to move mountains to get stuff done.  My Wife's just about holding it together with my ranting about the constant delays. 

Best wishes with the new Motor.  Hope the wait was worth it.

Post pics when you finally get it.

Took some pics of it on the ramp and then when they lowered down for me to get a ground level look - it looks the f7cking t1ts - ill post them up when I've had my tea and figured out how to post pics  :laugh:

So what approach did she take anyway, was it the soft womanly touch or was it the "listen here son, it better be good news or I will come down there and kick your balls in" kind of deal? :grin:

It was somewhere in between  :grin: Basically she said where's the car, its not good enough etc etc in a very forceful tone (but without the swearing!) - although if she hadn't got anywhere I think the swearing would have come (she's from Leyton - don't mess :grin:)

MB's missus is so hard she rolls her own Tampons! I bet you never get the wrong side of her!  :grin:

The despair at the wait soon lifts when delivery is imminent.
