But then you’ll never know.
I’ve been lucky with the female LLs in my life ...both knew I was a petrol head. The first Mrs LL met me when I had a Mk1 205 Gti, and talked me into getting a sensible Saab 9000 Turbo. Third hand from a garage in London who’d ceased trading. We flew down from Leeds after work, picked it up at Heathrow, drove home in time for last orders.
I’d coveted an UrQuattro which I’d seen parked in Keighley for quite a while. Saw one advertised, possibly in the DT, low and behold...bought it, again third hand, and she didn’t bat an eyelid as it was paid out of our joint account. Asked me if I liked it. I grinned. She grinned. Every one was happy. Best car ever. Even better than Barbie.
You can see the actual car on YouChew driven by Clarkson, G 646 JNV if memory serves me correctly. For my birthday she contacted the producer at TG, located at Pebble Mill in those days, got me a VHS copy of the road test ( Bainbridge in the snow) and a signed still photo by JC.
She still drives around in an ‘03 Lexus I recommended she buy. Shes’ not a petrol head !
