Norrahe,

Are you driving round in a banger ?

Certainly not

[expat]

I really can't understand why people have such difficulty parking????

What kind of people?














What gender of people?

What's wrong with the K'egg?

a bit too much in your face and either way a total bitch to park,

Girly wants a new shopping trolley. She complains that the available vehicles are either farm machinery or a bit too much in your face and either way a total bitch to park, attract too much unwanted attention, either too much luggage space so everything rolls around, or non that she can find, very hard to drive, always breaking down and expensive to fill up (where you have to be careful not to choose the pump nearest the shop door or you find yourself blocked in and have you tried reversing that thing around an obstacle?)

So, after much negotiation, I've made a short list.

You task, should you choose to accept it, is to vote on what your choice would be in a similar situation.

For the avoidance of doubt it's not my toy helicopter and I didn't buy it. Girly took a shine to it.

Does this mean you will not play with it..I think not

CITROEN BERLINGO would be more apt for shopping

Been for a fourth or maybe fifth, I've lost count, trip to look at cars.

We've come back with ...

a toy helicopter.

If you're into your Citroens this has been getting good reviews, and could be just what you're looking for (if you want something reasonably entertaining when you 'borrow' it).

If it's a simple A to B car then I don't see the point if getting anything special.

There is no point in paying for summat that will sit on your drive most of the week and only get taken out once or twice.

Shopping? Get it delivered, simples!

Let her do the shopping online. That way she won't need a car, and all the attendant expenses that go with it. If she gets sniffy, buy her a new Ironing Board to win her over.

Frankly I'm not surprised you have to bribe the "girly" to stay looking the way you do.

Why hi-spec? For a shopping trolley it just needs to be capable of short journeys to the shops and back, sod the expensive addon toys. An engine, steering wheel, gearbox, capabable of forward and reversing....oh maybe aircon to stop girly minging.
