Cheaper without the roof!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA- ok, before I show you my car- WOOT, thought I would tell you the whole story as to why we have a little personal joke going here at home- and have done since I was a GREEN WET BEHIND the ears 22 year old! lol.

I’ve always loved a cabriolet! I mean – who doesn’t right? Well Wayne and I had just both started working and had just got married! We needed one reliable car between us as I had an old skadonk ( student car with holes in the floor and which decided to konk out more than it drove– lol) - Wayne had a bike! So we went looking for our first *official couple car*- and OF COURSE the budget was small. Of course my tastes haven’t changed to this day-lol, and saw this GORGEOUS second hand Cabriolet. Asked if we couldn’t get that because it would be *cheaper without the roof surely?*- NOT!

BWWWWWWWWWWAHAHAHA- I DID!! I have NEVER lived that statement down! I have been ripped off by Wayne and Deon here for WEEKS about my *cheaper without the roof* car- YEAH YEAH, I got it the same day boys-lol But it sure has brought a lot of laughter and I had to share my blonde moment ( YOUCH, and there are soo many of those aren’t there- hahaha)

Wanna seee- WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

Let me introduce “VIXEN” to you-

Can’t wait to go out again later- Wayne’s already phoned to ask if we taking a ride this afternoon?- lol, and this AFTER he said he would never drive it as it’s a GIRLS CAR- mmmmmmmmmm, think I’m going to be hiding my keys! lol

Kimmmeeee!

You can slap me anytime. I have been a BAD blog bud. I've not visited so long that the door was stuck shut when I got here, the hinges had rusted up. But I got the wd40 out and here I am. Good thing you did not paddlock me out.

I've been just chasing my own little tail over here on the other side of the world. Workin things out etc, you know how that is sometimes. But I kicked my butt today and said I'm coming over to visit YOU, so here am I. You feel free to smack me anytime.

Firstly you look BEAUTIFUL. Honest its the first time I've seen your new hairdo. Its YOU. You look amazing. Hope you tipped your stylist BIG time.

Second, I've always dreamed of having a cabriolet! Truely I've drooled over one forever. But since its not practical for us we still have a vw - but one we can camp in. Hmmm perhaps one day we will have one we can tow with our van? haha.

You look jazzed sitting in that purdy piece of black metal! I can see you zoom zooming down the highways from here.

So, I'll part here and come back more reg'lar like in the future. Keep that door unlatched, k?
