stupid bloody women (rant)

not really bike related but the only forum i really visit daily so thought i would put my rant up here, now being only 23 and saving like an idiot to hopefully one day buy a house, cars don't come very high up on my list of priorities back in march i spotted an 03 MG ZS turbo diesel on auto-trader for 500 quid with a shot engine so after a bit of haggling over the phone i was off down Staines to collect it, anyway got it home got ripped off to the tune of 300 quid by a breaker for another engine.
I then managed to find an engine down in Gloucester for Â£250 so off i go down at 4am one morning got home fitted the engine and the new cam belts and filters (all in one day) midnight rolls round and the car i have wanted since i was about 14 (really wanted the 180bhp petrol but you get my gist) is sat ticking over like clockwork on my
drive me knackered covered head to toe in oil coolant and any other substance you find in your garage but a very happy man. over the next couple of months i spent cash on wheels and tyres and a detachable towbar and the like so anyway roll on to last Friday night get a phone call off the missus saying i'm going to kill her after the phone call drove 2 miles up the road to find my pride an joy looking like this

so as much as sexsit pig i might sound if you have a nice car learn from my mistake and keep your missus well away from it.

oh and to add insult to injury me not generally being the type to write vehicles off (40k miles per year for the last four and half years and not crashed yet) thought insuring it tpft would be fine

Thats rough mate. It kinda of looks terminal for the car, but at least your woman walked away smiling. Shat happens I guess.

oopsie daisy

i also treated myself to a mgzr160 a few years ago as a winter toy & love it to bits.... let the mrs use it and being a lazy cow she has a habit of parking it next to the trolley bay at asda... needless to say it is now wrecked.
i dont think theres a panel on it with no dents.
add to that the half million mcdonalds wrappers, tissues, michale buble cds etc she's littered it with...

you have my sympathy.

just glad i didnt buy the skyline i wanted!

yeah it is pretty terminal bent the mounting for the rear bottom arm rear quarter panel is all shapes ripped the front bumper out and took a load of metal with it and both nearside doors, absolutly gutted, she did it by driving like tw@, since it happened i have had about half a dozen people tell me that she does fly about in it my replies usually consists of thanks for telling me before.

Within the first 2 weeks of having it she had scuffed both front corners (and there was me thinking inability to judge sizes was a good thing) and various other dents and scuffs have appeared since. then she did it properly.

The really annoying thing is not the car or even the money as such but the time and effort i put into it thats the really demoralising thing.

In future, when people ask you what your wife does, you can say
"panel beater"

Lucky she wasn't on your bike.

Or ran into you coming the other way
