I want that one !!!

19 Jul 2006

We went car shopping yesterday with a view to buying the blonde one a new recptical to store her empty cigarette packets, shoes and other tat in (thats what she appears to see a car as dunno

). So we arrive at the dealership with the spec she has decided on for her new car and that was............er I want a new one not sure what or why I just feel like a new car confused

The salesboy (I've got socks older than him) is promptly told she want a 4x4 so is directed towards one in the showroom and in she jumps and checks the most important thing when a woman shops for a car, where to put your handbag lol

Then enters into conversation with the salesboy at which point I notice that her already very short skirt has rode up to just under her arms :shock: As I'm stood forward of the salesboy I'm unsure if he's noticed this erm display and quite honestly was unsure if I should point it out (to either of them) :lol: . Any doubts I had as to if he had noticed or not were soon layed to rest when we were shown to the same type of car but differant spec outside, again in shes pops but this time the obviously (now) embaressed chap positions him self some 30 odd foot away from us and proceeds to give us the sales speel by practically shouting due to being so far away. :lol:
Then...........(not sure why prehaps the wind changed direction or something :dunno smile

we decide that a 4x4 is no longer needed and tells the saleschap that she now wants something costing half as much and quarter of the size :? Understandably flumuxed by this he questions ........er why the change of mind, because I can is the reply :lol:
So we are shown round the new target for her cheque book and after some uming and aring she seams convinced thats the car for her. The now safely reasured that she's not some time waisting loon saleschap then asks......would you like a test drive to help make your mind up (an important thing when bying a car would you not agree?) not for the blonde one her reply is ........oh no I don't need to I drove one 12 months ago so I know what they are like rolleyes

He manages to convince her to at least try it out before making her mind up so in she pops him in the back me in the front and I promptly disapear under a handbag and shoes that get thrown at me when ever she drives :?
Test drive done thats not the car for her after all :roll: so we settle on another one same type differant spec :) she tells spotty sales type she willl return :scared: Joy thinks I at least the last 2 hours of my life havn't been waisted we have a result biggrin

well that was untill we drove quarter of a mile up the road and turned into another dealership and she decides she wants one of their cars :roll: But then proclaims there is a BMW dealership up the road she may give them a try as well :roll: :roll:
I have a feeling it will be a long and painfull process ................. for me at least :lol:

Hi Sheddy
Good luck to you mate,I got the tea shirt !!!
Just a thought,if she's going up to the BMW garage,point her in the direction of the M5,then you can always borrow it now and again and again and though if like me you can't afford one,its worth it just for the test drive ,what a machine !
Happy hunting
L.B

19 Jul 2006

lol it could be worse she may of wanted to shop for some new shoes or handbag.

19 Jul 2006

(((((NEIL)))))) evil

He won't even come shopping with me let alone trapse around to buy stuff lol

Spoiled I tell thee... spoiled.

19 Jul 2006

19 Jul 2006

Thanks for that sheddy i allways have to smile at some of your posts. That has helped me out of a mood at the moment.
Cheers lol

Have you ever tried shopping for a car as a single female? The salesmen (as they invariably are men) take every opportunity to talk down at you, assume you know nothing about cars/bikes and the only information you can get out of them normally is what colours it comes in and how much room there is in the back rolleyes

It pisses me off that if I want to buy a vehicle I have to take a guy along to be taken seriously.

Really is that true?
I bought both my cars on my own and will most likely buy my third car on my own too. If theyre being patronising it just encourages me to get a better price out of them anyway. biggrin

Didn't say a word about Neil not knowing a thing about cars though so I'd be better off on my own anyway! innocent

Just brilliant :lol2:
Must admit, our car is an extension of the shoe cupboard :? With three of us girls, the cars full of every kind of shoe, covering any possible event when we're out :?
You're driving along and suddenly feel the urge to run instead of drive? No worries, out come the comfy 'spare' trainers.
Can't drive a moment longer without ballet practice? Simple, just change into the Dainty Fluffy Princess shoes kicking around the back.
Driving along minding your own business and suddenly notice war has broken out? What car isn't equipped with a pair of Emo Goth Punk Death Hate the world army boots? :dunno:
Trouble is - I haven't a bluddy clue as to how the shoes got in there :dunno: It's not like we get out the car, leave shoes in there and limp to the house :undecided: :dunno:

I pity Mr W..there are 5 girls in our house!

My boot contains a harness and whip. Strictly for equestrian purposes you understand.
wink

20 Jul 2006

My boot is full of bloody footballs.... comes with living with a chairman of a footie club.
But so useful if one breaks down of course. dunno

Rammy finds it amusing when we go away for a weekend as I pack everything for all seasons and situations... he packs pants and socks in a carrier bag.
But you never know.. it 'might' rain... we 'might' have a picnic... we 'might' go for a long walk.... redface

20 Jul 2006

You leave shoes in your car?? :shock: Couldn't do it, love em too much (and paid an arm and a leg for most) although I did leave thigh-highs in there for a couple of days once. :P
Hey Sheddy, get 'the blonde' to have look on the 'on-line-auction' page, not to buy but to get an idea of what she wants maybe?
I bought many cars from there - the last one (a Frontera) is still sitting under one of the apple trees coz I bought a Celica and can't be arsed to do anything with the 4 X 4. I leave Mids to deal with the cars, I just drive the one I want when I want! lol

Good luck!

Same for madam but it would apear the apartment has run out of shoe storage space the wardrobes are full, my criteria for bringing stuff round is yes you can as long as its not much..........ie: a T shirt and a pair of jeans is my lot lol

A Frontera :shock: good lord people actually buy those......why dunno

:giggle: the Celica however is a bloody fine car and if I could afford would be near the top of my want list biggrin

As for knowing what she wants she knows excactly what it is......................... A 4x4 the size of a mini (so its good round town) but will be capable of a lot of motorway driving have lots of space for shoes good hand bag and empty cigarette packet storage and be good on fuel rolleyes

So the vehicle she wants is a rangerovervectramini :dunno:
:lol:

20 Jul 2006

Don't i just fecking know it rolleyes

20 Jul 2006

I'll take any car that works at the moment. But it must have a steering wheel on the steering column.
The vandals broke it of the old one.

20 Jul 2006

Oh and i forgot to mention, newts little celica, when she was looking for one i was working nights so after 4 hours of kip one day she wakes me up, "there's a celica i want to go and view its only at Nottingham !" (30 miles from us)
Reluctantly because i wanted to go back to sleep i agreed, with 2 conditions, as long as she drove, and i could get my head down in the afternoon to catch up on my sleep.
We get in the car and set off, now i know where Nottingham is so for the first half hour i never look at the directions just go A511, A42, M1 as you would, so as we get closer to Nottingham i pick up the directions and look at them.
Sheer Horror This damned celica is at NEWARK :cry:
Worst is it was a total wreck and thats what newt said to the sales man in the middle of the showroom in a very loud voice ! lol

20 Jul 2006

wasn't that loud, just clearly spoken redface

he told me on the phone it was in good condition. yeah right.
It WAS a wreck, cheeky bugger was asking 1200 quid for a heap of junk! Battery acid all down the inside of the engine bay, laquer off much of the paint work, it STANK inside the car, and he 'conveniently' forgot to mention it was an import.....
so there.

20 Jul 2006

I bought my celica at night in winter. On the log book it said 'Azure Blue'. Took it home, daylight dawned - as did the fact that I'd just bought a purple car. Fortunately it grew on me.
H.x

20 Jul 2006

Azure-blue = purple? hmmm, bit like that merc on police camera action... they pulled the driver because the details came up as ' Colour Red' - it was in fact burgundy and the poor cow driving it was obviously hacked off about constantly being pulled over by the cops.... lol
