This is what happens if you lend the Mrs your toy.

This is what happens when wife who is used to 4 wheel drive volvo borrows your 3.0 V6 RWD Alfa on a damp greasy day.

Thankfully she is ok, just shaken up











So my lovely 76000mile 2 owner car is dead. If you hear of a replacement, please let me know, as to quote my wife "I owe you a car" (she was only covered 3rd party on this).

OUCH! That must be painful to see. But at least your missus is ok, which is the main part. There is a 75 on sprowston road which never moves (i think). Maybe worth checking out?

[Mrs Muttleysnoop]

Sorry to read but tell your wife I know of someone who borrowed their wife's car and crashed.

[markCSC]

Holy feck!!!!! Was Lovisa in the car? Glad wifey is ok

[jamieandthemagic]

No she was at nursery, un harmed, just feeling a bit shaken.

[swifthobo]

Woah!! Not good sorry for your loss, glad everyone was ok could of been worse.

[LowiePete]

A day of very mixed feelings! At least, it was the replaceable part of the
equation that took the worst, so I can imagine how thankful you are for that...

Steve

Glad Mrs ok..

Still can't wait to tell him though !!

[EskimoArapaho]

Glad to hear she's OK.

Sell the whole car to a Stratos replica builder. Can post a link on the Stratos forum if you decide to let it go as is.

Never understand why people post up photos of their or others misfortunes!

[digger the goat]

Maybe to keep their friends informed !!

Jamie is a well known local pher.
Sad news for his Mrs and him !

Maybe as a reminder that whilst we all love driving our wheels, it can go wrong, and that if we are lucky enough to get away unharmed, it serves as a reminder that we are made of flesh, skin and bone, and that we are not indestructible.

Does that mean, for the same reasoning, that you don't buy a newspaper?

[herbialfa]

So Chris & Jamie have you bagged a deal?

I don't need the fascination to make others aware of my personal misfortune. A newspaper reports on general news not broadcasting to the world about my own problems.
