Mrs H is also a petrol head (she took her motorbike test because she hated being on the back of my bike) and has always had a passion for cars.
Interestingly, she has booked us to see Back to the Future at Warwick Castle as has not booked our 'nice' cars - her logic being "you will spill beer and drop popcorn!" and then be ** off the whole film. Clever girl
Interesting, at least there was some rationale - in the case of Mrs Scaf she simply doesent see what difference it makes !
thats a point, but there is no way we are going in her car, in any event I find married life easier if I lay off the booze and she gets tipsy
Exactly the same here. No interest in cars whatsoever. Over the years I have amassed a little fleet worth about £3M pre Coronavirus (most of that Is the DB4 GT short chassis race car I bought in the 80’s for much much less). Despite many offers, she refuses to drive most of them ( sometimes takes the Cayenne if forced to when hers is being serviced etc) and wants to stick with her 14 year old BMW 523i with > 120k on the clock worth about £1k. In her defence, she is right when she says we can go anywhere and park it anywhere and I don’t spend all my time spoiling our time out fretting if it will get damaged or nicked, and if she gets a dent in it when out, I just shrug as opposed to have a seizure!She has literally no interest, has not got a problem with me having what I want / we can afford, but even during lockdown I have given her the opportunity to change / upgrade but she sees no point....... and said no, happy with the Corsa.
She didn’t marry me for my looks either, so it’s nice to know that there must be a more altruistic reason!
The old Mrs Merton quote to Debbie McGee eh?So... Mrs Dr Houx, what first attracted you to the potential future millionaire Mr Dr Houx?
Eb
Well done!

I’m pleased to say when the current Mrs Houx met me, I was divorcing her predecessor and she took the house and most of my other material possessions save some pensions and the DB4 , and day to day we were back to renting and not a pot to p..s in! We’ve got where we are today together, so she is as entitled to the proceeds just as much as me.
....forwarding to the current Mrs Houx's legal team......
Not only the French place in Provence but I even play bass in a band just like Bill! That’s me on the left. Best laugh I’ve had in ages Mr Crud!Mods: please can you change my name to Mrs Houx, which is potentially a far more lucrative alter-ego than Mr Crud. The occasional thrash in a DB4 would be nice, and the chance to channel my inner Bill Whyman with some top-class chat-up line would be superb: Je suis un rock star, j'avais un residence, je habiter la, a la south of France, voulez vouz.., etc.

Doctor Wu not Doctor Houx by Steely Dan I think? You have great musical taste. FM and Pretzel Logic are both in one of the sets we play."Are you crazy are you high
Or just an ordinary guy
Have you done all you can do?"
