United States 2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Buckingham Blue
Car shopping shock .... with SHMBO

Well Saturday got lucky with the misses Thumbs Up MrsY got up and said lets drop the kids at her sisters and go look at cars Shocked thinking BMW here we come !

So we did... first place she dragged me to was the local Bentley dealer for me to lust over a Continental GT speed.... wow it certainly did things for me but the misses liked the bog std version as they had a black on black. Sales service from the lady sales person was top notch here Wink

So onto No2, Aston Martin (to pay homage to a certain German owner), we actually go to drive a rather nice "grey" DB9 which of course she also likes (my bank account slowly shrinking by the second or did she win the lottery ?)

Next came the Ferrari dealer, sorry but what a bunch of Tw#(i)ts, one person in the dealer with a Dutch couple talking about Maserati... we got ignored !!!!! so we left ! pity as SHMBO is serious. Evil or Very Mad

Finally, another trip across Houston to Lambo dealer and a rather nice Gallardo... choices choices

So what would you do, apart from run and hide... I offered to go see SMART but that didnt go too far

Vote:

Bentley GT... not the speed Crying or Very sad
Lambo Gallardo
DB9

... or Smart Car

Think its a mid life crisis she is having, so when is mine Laughing Brit across the Pond Wink

Personally:

2. GT Speed (But would HAVE to be the SPeed model)
3. DB9
