          I never really lied to her. I just never told her, I sold our vectra Sri so I could buy a mk2 Astra gte then eventually sold that to buy another vectra gsi and on those occasions I never told her about it until I turned up with another car outside the house. She has told me that if I ever get another Astra mk2 then it will end up in divorce.

          Over the last 14 years I have had 4 Astra mk2’s, 3 vectra Sri’s, 2 vectra gsi’s and now on insignia number 3 although 2 of them where company issue.

                    When I bought the full SRI leather for my car (which now sits in Russ’sss’ss car) I told the wife that a mate of mine was putting his lease car back to standard and needed to fit the cloth trim back in so he would swap it with mine for free.

                    Worked a treat!

                      I'll bet that all of us hope that in the untimely event of death, or other halves don't sell our cars on for what we said we paid for it..
