When we first meet he drove this clapped out old Peugeot and he didn’t care too much for it, it was always filthy and he begrudged every cent he had to pay towards running and up-keeping it. But that all changed once he got his new Golf and he turned into your typical ‘guy who loves his car’ – spending not only far too much time on it but also far too much money.

He got some new lights for it a few months ago that cost an arm and a leg and i couldn’t get my head around them as they looked the same as the old ones to me but he assures me they are much better and definitely worth the money!

I know he’s going to come back from the store with more than just the chrome rims we agreed on as well because he always does.

I don’t mind him spending money on his car really, he doesn’t spend what we don’t have and it is pretty much his only expensive hobby and we all deserve to have at least one expensive hobby right?

As I suspected, he got into a bit of a tussle with the guys at the garage because they were saying they couldn’t find any faults.

He insisted on sitting there doing things until they happened right in front of their eyes so that they couldn’t say they don’t exist — then he had to sit and wait while they retested it and updated software and all sorts of other things.

I still don’t think it has every complaint fixed, but they have said they will take care of any ongoing issues even after the warranty expires at the end of the week.

Score

Well he went to pick it up 3 hours ago now! The dealership is a 2 minute walk away. He’s not answering his cell so I have no idea what’s happened or where he’s ended up.

Not that I am worried about him, there will have just have been a problem he’s engrossed in — but still, he could call to let me know what’s going on.

Men, hey?
