Thanks guys, you have just proven my wife correct I said it was a Cadillac and she said it was a Chevy.
You should be happy your wife knows the difference! My GF can't be arsed with cars unless it's hers (a Focus), deriding mine, or spotting Lambo's and Astons.
At least she's interested in spotting nice cars, mine seems to be completely blind to shapes and just notices colours. Me: "Look, there's a V12 Vantage!" reply: "I don't like grey".
True, but it's very limited knowledge - she doesn't care about Ferrari's for example. e.g. She saw an Enzo in central London last year, but it took about 15 minutes of questions and a drawing before I could guesstimate what kind it was... "It was a red Ferrari, and fairly big, but with a humpy middle."
LOL. My missus notices hardly anything: "ooh... look.. an SLS (one of one in the country)" - "It's not shouty enough... I wouldn't have noticed". "oh - an XKR (one of two)" - "It's like a boring version of the DB9" "oh - a DB9 (1/1)" - "Looks like a jag" The ONLY car she has spotted by herself was when the only F430 came driving towards her: "I saw a nice car today..." - "what was it?" - "A Ferrari" - "Which one?" (there were two driving around, one on Angolan plates the other on SA plates, the angolan one being local and an F430, the other one being a South African (number plate is the F1 LOGO) California) - "i dunno... it was red... and nice" She is better than me at spotting Nissan Pukes though...
I used to work a little bit on my AH Sprite (1969) and I love cars. Getting my granddaughter interested at an early age (3). Lucy says, "Ooh, cars they're beautiful!"
