See'ing as all this free stuffs knocking about (mgb's, caravans etc) thought I'd try my luck.

If anyone tells her I posted this thread theres no way I'll speak to them again, I want it to be a suprise !!
Cheers,
Bob

Hi,
I'm interested in your wife.
What size vehicle do I need to collect ?
Thanks
Wow, she must love surprises then.
And I bet its not even her birthday ?
Shes a lucky woman to have you :-)
What year and how many previous owners??

Does she need new big ends? A re-bore? Is her suspension sagging at all?
This thread is bound to get messy :-)
No talk of airbags yet ??
Might well be free, but I suspect the running costs are going to hurt.
She's in good nick, safe around children, its not her birthday till next January Andy so you wont have to splash out for another 11 months so
dont worry on that score.
A Honda 50 would suffice for collection Nigel but I'm keeping her crash helmet so you would have to supply one.
Cheers,
Bob

if her names nora, ill collect, she looks ok in your pics
This just went on my Facebook page just to show people that I'm actually a pretty sensible guy - when compared to you guys.
But now that someone else mentioned airbags, are they still in the original containers or have they been set off and just kinda flopping around there?

I thought you had spelt wifi wrong!!
There is no such thing as a Free Wife
There is always a cost
An Ex Wife is even more expensive I know
However a husband and especially an ex husband hold a considerable residual value which can be tapped at will
My ex wife ( no residual value) has 2 ex husbands ( small residual value in 1 and reasonable in the other) and a current younger husband who will keep
his residual value long after the others are bled dry

What kind of mileage has she done? Any strange noises, rattling etc. Does she leak any fluids? Any mayonnaise in the filler? Easy to work on?
Sorry for all the questions but I currently have a 55 plate so could be interested if she's younger. Fancy a straight swap?

HPI clear?
Outstanding finance or crash damage?
tbfh; this thread is useless without pics.
you have a number of pictures in your photo archive. Which one is she??
I'd go out on a limb and say none of them

Is she due a service any time soon?
Any wear in the bushes? Nipples greased? Flanges deburred?
Has she started making the constant grumbling noises yet, many do after a few years?

I can't believe this hasn't been snapped up!
I'll take it, to replace my current model, who seem to have worked out how to get out of the handcuffs that are at the kitchen sink!
This is going to end horribly when she finds out... and given the "six degrees of separation" rule means she will sooner or later.
and there aint no such thing as a 'locost' apology or divorce ;-)

Just found this while browsing form.....still chuckling...brilliant !!
Browsing, yeah right… more like searching for a new wife, like the rest of us!
Fair point !!
HPI clear?
PDI?
'Never raced or rallied?'
Looks like you are in danger of being offered as 'being broken for parts'!
If I were you, I'd be checking Freecycle or Gumtree to see if your tools, music collection, drumkit/guitar or fishing gear are being offered for
free...
Cheers
Mike
PS funniest thread I have read for ages!

Cheered me up no end
Recent bodywork?
Genune parts fitted?
OE spec? Or recent alarm fitted?
One careful owner?
Always garaged?
Quick respray, lots of filler and new seat covers?
Cat C or D?
Warped discs?

You may find the previous gen model from the same manufacturer will also start to prove troublesome.
Also check build quality and reliability issues before considering upgrade to a newer model.
[Edited on 1/3/14 by Mike Wood]
Any warning lights visible?
Run a diagnostics check yet?
excellent cheered me up. just hope she never finds this thread.

I've been waiting for the free husband ad going on which will probably read 'one free battered husband, pick up only from local hospital'

I heard that the test drive unearthed a few problems?

No doubt many of you are hugely disappointed about Bob's decision to keep his wife, for now anyway....
To cheer you up there's plenty more fish in the sea and here are a few. Not free but reasonably priced

Presume your keeping her because shes just passed her MOT so costs for the next year are expected to be fairly low. Funny thing is that mines recently developed a strange whining noise that appears to have developed when I found a house with a double garage.
