In the next few months I shall be living with my girlfriend, idealy we'll need a 4 bed house for us and our collection of sproggs.

I mentioned to her that I'd buy her a new car if work continues to go as it has done for the last few months (obviously she'll be getting an Alfa, whether she likes it or not :lol: ).
However, we'll need a people carrier/minibus for when we have all the kids at the same time.

She then said "no point getting me a car as I'll use the people carrier, and you've got the Merc and the Alfa [155] already, we won't need any more cars".

My question in the title relates to the fact that, my 155 is just the first of the Alfa's I want to buy (finances permitting), and keep (GTV V6, and a 147GTA)
So. Should I tll her I intend on increasing my collection of Alfa's (admittedly over time) or just turn up with them now and again? :cheese:

And can I pull the old "well, I've worked hard, surely I deserve to treat myself???" Obviously whilst treating her to shoes or something!

Be straight with her

I found that as long as you can afford it (as far as she is concerned) then get it and beg forgiveness later.

159 Sportwagon and hide one of your "sproggs" in the boot or a roof box?

you get another alfa and she gets a child transporter.

Win/Win???

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Buy them and store them at a friend's house , Go out in the 155 , drive to your friends house take whichever car thats stored for a spin and when finished , return home in the 155 ... Job done

+1.

Oh and it would definately help if you get rid of the Merc.

You have to be honest. You must trust her to be prepared to live together.

Company car. What can you do?

Burn it.

(I guess you already asked if you could change it for an Alfa).

Can you not ditch her ?

Don't tell her. I never told mine and have slowly gained a huoooooooogggge (said in james may style) collection of cars :lol: I get nagged but as a new one only appear occasionally it seems to go down ok although the spider is finally going this weekend so I'll be down to 3 alfas

Like that idea! :thumbs:

I have mentioned it now though. Her response "as long as the drive is big enough and I can get my car off the drive, you can buy all you like"

Top bird! :thumbs:

She still ain't gonna drive any of them though :tut:

I seem to have a similar wife as yours (not bothered as long as the drive isnt blocked).They are a rare breed so look after her.

I had four cars on the drive until yesterday but now only two so time to hit the classifieds again
