Wife

[lengster1]

Hi guys the wife is pressuring me to sell the rs4,key moans are the noise of the milltek,parking it miles away from other d&ckh**ds so it doesnt get dinged,stiff gearbox when cold,etc etc all the normal things involved with owning a nice motor,how on earth do you guys do it?any tips will help as i cant bear the thought of the milltek coming off never mind selling it,thanks in advance guys

Buy her her own shopping trolley ??

[simple1]

Very sound advice.................oh and if the budget stretches, try making it a soft top so she feels really special.

[BRETTCOLLINS]

Better still a soft top that is fast too

[TWH]

Or tell her to shut up?!

Only kidding I know your bollox are worth more to you than that!!!

[lengster1]

I know what your saying guys but got the rs4 over an m3 so we only run one car doh,if the rs4 is going to be my toy, sat down the drive most of the time while im at work,i might aswell of got an m3 or porker and kept her focus,what a nightmare!

[simple1]

Time for a trade in but not of the car

[DaveP]

Give her a slap and tell her to get back in the kitchen.

[lengster1]

Cheers davep if your ever near hull pop in you can tell her ha ha.Like your suggestion simple1 but i already pay maintenance to one ex, paying for 2 more kids ouch

Right.

a) Buy a load of Dynomat and sound deaden the car to feck.
b) Get your gearbox oil changed and short shift adjusted.
c) Find the number of a decent paintless repairer for the dents and let her park it where ever she wants.

Job done.

We bought the Mrs a Polo. I drive it for the daily commute and bring the RS out on special occasions now. Save the insurance/finance costs for the Polo in petrol each month now

- hey...I might jump out of planes for fun, but I'm not THAT crazy

How about you offer to buy her an 8 year old micra...take her to test drive it and everything...she might realise how good she's got it then

[Nordschleife]

buy her one of those larky Seats, in a really girly colour(what's the Spanish for nipple pink? nah, only joking about the colour)

PS I think this problem come from the US, there significant others feel free to bitch about their spouse's car even when they have their own. A mate always registers his stupidest cars in his wife's name, so she is the 'owner' of a Gordon Keeble and a 356.

Thinking along the lines of DaveP - sabotage the dishwasher and washing machine. That should keep her quiet for a while. Turning the stop valves off normally throws them, or if that's too obvious just turn the hot one off.

Bjacks like your thinking ive already got some dynamat just not got round to fitting it,i also wasnt sure how the trim inside the tailgate came off short of being brutal.how do you adjust the shortshift kit?the gearbox itself is tip top never crunched etc its just firm to select when cold as they all are,the bodywork is mint shes more worried about telling me when it isnt if you know what i mean,do you think changing the gearbox oil will help?will it have been done on any normal services?Jeeves ive got your suggestion covered hes called toby and finds it highly amusing to sabotage all the appliances ha ha he opened the dishwasher door to stand on so he could see me out the window laughing his little head off the wife wasnt amused doh

Looks like a second car is the answer Rich......theres piles of <beep> out there she can take her pick from......couple of weeks in a banger and the RS4 will seem like Nirvana once again.

You might also have a claim for mental torture......go see a solicitor with a veiw to starting court action.

Point out that the Miltek is the PRADA of the exhaust world

If all the above fails,resort to good old fashioned violence......remember Z tolerance....Domestic abuse theres always an excuse
Cheers fc
