2. Park it next to her dirty 2018 Ford Escape






all exterior plastic was done, interior cleaned minus the seats, all fluids checked, fresh tank of 93 octane, scanguage and cravenspeed Mount in mail on way to their new clean home, will post pics after install.

She’s just mad her car didn’t get cleaned. Found no French fries on the inside, and she needed a cleaning after the salt the other day.

You could make it up to her by teaching her how to clean a car . . .

Or not

Her solution is going to be getting up in the am and paying someone to do it. I Bet the $50 wash she going to get vs the $10 3 hr one I did.

LMAO. You could always just buy her a vacuum cleaner for her birthday. That should do the trick. Nice looking clubman BTW.

funny you say that, she bought me a vacuum for our “moving into a new place” gift, and her dad gave us a portable one that is great for cars, but heaven forbid she use it 😉 the house was cleaned and all laundry clean and folded so she can’t ***** too much. And thank you.

I saw the title and thought, hookers and booze would be in the details. I guess I watched too much Ray Donovan.

I shared this fun with my co-pilot. Her response would fail the moderator's standards. BTW, her CM shares the garage with the R52 and they both enjoy bath time together.

Did the headlights today, then a quick wipe down to get the dust off. Got to love 60 degree days in December.

DIY oil catch can, 20% tint all around, and mini stubby antenna. The mini Xmas is complete and wife thinks I love the car more than her already.
