That method sort of worked for me - we used to have a Pathfinder
and after a terrifying out of control slide down a big hill once, my wife agreed to
"Just go out and get whatever is the best there is".

While we never slid down that hill again with the Patrol, one day we
found a much bigger hill an slid down it even faster.

Only told half the story - - - >

After that we couldn't get up another hill, so I said we need better tyres !

A little while later we got stuck on a muddy road, so I said we need chains !

Then we got caught on a rocky ledge, so I said we need a front locker !

Then we got sideways down a hill so I said we need a rear locker to !

One day having trouble in a big boggy hole, so I said we need a winch - Oh and if it has plasma rope I can do it all and you stay in the car!

Oh! and we must be able to do all this a 1000km from home, so I said we need a really big petrol tank.

Then we couldn't get up a huge sand dune, so I said a 185kw 4800 isn't enough and we got a Uni-chip !

After some research I think I have now found one big hill still out there -
But of course it will require an electric supercharger !

You keep going like this and pretty soon she is going to force you to buy a cruiser.

For only one or two things here and there try the reply..."But you said it would be OK to buy this. Sorry I shall listen closer in future, now its used I cannot return it."

Forgiveness is always easier to obtain than permission.

p.s. anyone who mentions this to SWMBO aka Minister for War and Finance will not be so lucky hahaha

I must be the only wife who says yes, or has to persaude (sp) Mark into us getting this or that! Of course it can only happen though when the money is in favour, but for me... there'll always be a way... eventually!
