Its killing me!!

[rob172cup]

I sold my cup about two months ago and im not buying a replacement until the middle of next year, i miss it soooo much im driving an old escort van and its not quite the same. Then there is the choosing a new car what to get??? I swap my mind from one extreme to the other get an exige and spend 20k or buy something sensible like a second hand bmw 1 series for about 10k, at the min i want to buy my old car back and live with it for ever and ever as i miss it too much

 

[Mr Burns]

Awwww

Whatever you do, don't buy something 'sensible' ...you'll regret it!!

 

[Brett]

Buy another cup then. Think you've awnsered your own question tbh. How old are you mate if u don't mind me asking? plently of time for being sensible later in life.

 

[phantomx0_1]

Get another CS!!

 

[rob172cup]

the other problem is now ive moved in witht he gf she needs to aprove aswell and dont think she woulod go for another cs. might get another in a few years when the van packs up as thats what i drive everyday. the car i get will only do about 4k a year

Rule Number 1: Dont listen to the GF when it comes to your choice of car.

Get what YOU want to get tbh.

(RS FTW)

 

[phantomx0_1]

Dump the GF and get another CS!!! LOL

+1

 

[benmore]

tell her she can like it or lump it

gf can moan but whether she likes your car or not shouldn't affect you matey

 

[phantomx0_1]

:hail: beg her for a new CS!!

 

[rob172cup]

thing is its not just my car now its our car, she is keen on the exige anyway, im thinking 350z but im not too sure on them but they seem to have the best of both worlds? comfort and speed and handling from what ive read anyway.the exige might be a bit hardcore for normal driving

 

[Jordi17]

Hawkeye STi FTW!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Whatever you do dont buy a 1 series there pish imo

Buy 2 Phase 1's, becuase you can.

Ha ha! Too true!

I bought another cup, was in the same position as you rob.

 

[Fletcher]

I'd buy another cup, as you miss it so much.

 

[Mr J Cake]

ha ha buy another cup and spend 10k on it at K-Tec then see what your gf says coz if its only travelin 4k a year it might as well be an very good 4k

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^yep cams/ itb's

 

[Brett]

The day when my gf tells me what car to get is the day she gets the boot. She knows i love my cars and doesnt realy have a say anyway.

"don't get a megane they're horrible" "saxo's are chavvy" F**k off!!!!!!

But if your both chipping in then i supose theres little you can do.

 

[DrR]

Surely a woman will just think you're buying a small sensible 1.2 clio hatchback?

 

[Ian_182]

Dont get a 1 series there pants

 

[ganesh]

It's your car, what say does your girlfriend have in the matter?

 

[Goders172]

Yeah dont listen to the GF, I had a similar argument with mine last night, she comes out with when we move out you HAVE to sell you car, as it costs too much to run in comparison to her 206 and thats not fair. Cheeky b*tch, i earn 3 times as much as her so what if my car costs more to run - she can fooook off tbh. Im all for upgrading not downgrading lol.

 

[Nick_P]

Surely to her, its just another clio...

 

[Aluco]

I would have dropped her there and then.

Not joking either.

i know exavtly how you feel - i sold my 172 about 2 months ago - miss it like crazy

182 next year ftw!

 

[rob172cup]

I think your missunderstanding my gf she drives a shogun evolution she is not saying get a sensible car. she wants more than we can afford!! Its more me thinking about the money side of it. Id love an exige or a 350t tvr but its stretching the budget. I have good days and bad days, a good day thinking bugger it go for it then a bad day thinking i could get a perfectly good car for about 10k. I know the gf doesnt want another cs and seen as she will be putting as much into it as me i cant say no bugger off ill do what i want! Its not fair is it? We both live together and everything is 50/50 so im not about to change that

 

[rob172cup]

I also dont really know what im achieving or wanting from posting about my dilemma it just helps to talk! And i miss my bloody clio

 

[Nigel]

I sold my Trophy then my 172 and I miss them both. Driving a crap car does have some advantages, but you no longer get to enjoy going for a drive.

 

[Ronnie R]

give her a slap

 

[MikeyK18]

TBH mate, if she has her own car, it shouldnt matter what u drive as she has her own car to drive, like others have said, my gf wouldnt tell me what i can and cant drive as shes knows i love my renaultsports and at the end of the day dude its your money, so if shes moans just tell her she doesnt have to drive it so suck it!!!


or words to that effect lol

women end up getting everything thats ours anyway so its better than we have something thats just ours!!!

i.e. renaultsport clios, meganes etc lol

reading that id say shes being totally unreasonable

like i said, tell her to suck it!! and you'll drive what u want and what u can comfortably afford!!!!!!!!!

if she was any sort of woman she wouldnt have u poss getting into debt just for a fancy car, i know women have demands but this is a bit much TBH

 

[benmore]

agree with the above

50/50? it's your car tho....

she has hers, you have yours. if she doesn't like it, it isn't the end of the world. do you love her shogun?

 

[rob172cup]

She is selling her car and im not getting into debt i cant afford, when my van goes pop im pretty sure ill be getting another clio sport for about 3-4k as a second car but im hoping my van will do another year, i dont know if ive done a very good job of trying to get my point across here! Everyone seems to be thinking my gf is the problem but she isnt she just doesnt want another cs

 

[benmore]

why doesn't she?

if you do she should compromise. lol

get a nice car that you both like for 8k and ph1 172 for 2k mate, can't go wrong there..

 

[MikeyK18]

but if u do want one then it is a problem, hink u need to sit her down n tlk about it properly

 

[rob172cup]

yes i do love the shogun its awsome but its going, its going to be our car not mine and not hers she doesnt need a car as she works two min away and i have a van for fishing and going to work as the lane i go down to work sucks balls

 

[rob172cup]

I do miss my clio but id like a step up aswell in my new car

 

[CrippsCorner]

If you're looking at spending more this time around why not consider a 197 Cup?
