I don't understand my wife...

[Homestar]

Been looking for a new car for SWMBO - she has been riding to work on her Suzuki 800 Boulevard for quite some time after the old dunny door expired, but wants a car as an option. She originally wanted something small, but after almost getting run over several times in my Daughters Pulsar by 4WD's, she says she wants something bigger - Yay! I take her past a LR dealer, and show her a good second hand D2, and even a D3 - which is probably stretching it a bit, but hey - I wanted her to start liking the idea of adding another LR to the garage. She said she wanted a few creature comforts, and liked what she saw with both the D2 & D3 - all good I hear you say - it is, but it took an unexpected 90 degree turn when she saw a Defender sitting out the front - a black SVX 60th Anniversary edition... Not what I had in mind, and not the sort of dollars I was thinking of spending, but I was quite impressed with her attitude none the less. After seeing the price, she was a little disappointed that we probably can't add this to the garage, she has been looking at Defenders ever since, and has decided she wants a black Defender 90.

Needless to say, I am a bit stumped at this decision, but very happy none the less... She now wants to test drive a D2 and the Defender, which may or may not change her mind - she used to like driving my brothers old IIA, so I'll keep you posted, but 1 thing is for sure, and that is it is almost certain we can add another LR to the garage of some description - and I can't complain about that...

Cheers - Gav

Fickle creatures those women. Best to nod and go along with it, fortunately in this case you are more than happy to do this

[Homestar]

Indeed, but the example I posted is still a bit more than I want to spend. I will have to try and find one a few years older if at all possible...

It is nice to have her on the same wavelength though.

What is your budget? Didnt someone say that Land Rover will be doing a special soon with a LE model Defender 90 for $39995?

[Homestar]

That would almost work - basically told her that I would be happy to put up the sort of money that would buy a new Falcoon or Dunny Door.

You got any more info on the specials? Haven't really been paying attention until now....

Cant remember who posted it, but Land Rover Australia are doing a limited edition on the 90 and the 110. The member who posted it was a salesman at a LR dealership.

Cool - thanks for that - I'll have a poke around and see what I can find.

Ours is but to wonder why ....



And have the cheque book ready when the choice is made.
