Mine was old enough to have 3 numbers followed by three letters.
I don't remember the numbers, although 417 sticks in my mind, but the letters were VNY and the girlfriend's sister said "Very Nasty Yobbo" which made us all laugh!!! ;)

Such a shame she morphed into "bossy cow" within about a month of the ceremony.

Mine kicked my ass down a passage once, but never did it again.
But control freaks really are the worst aren't they?
So you got it worse than I did.
I forgot you'd had one before.
We are both best out of it and with more normal ones.........
Well i say "normal"....
Is there such a thing???;);););)

Mine wasn't like that she was just bonkers about stuff to do with inside the house, and she wouldn't ever do anything spontaneous.
But I had a girlfriend between wives who was absolutely brilliant when we were together at my place, but then went mental if we went out and any other woman even glanced at me. She once set off to walk home to Poole from Bath when we went to see some friends of mine. 6 of us went out for dinner and while we had our heads down eating, my mate's mate's girlfriend caught my eye and winked at me. Nothing to it at all. forgot about it.
Back at mate's place my girlfriend disappeared. I thought she'd gone to the loo, then she eventually appeared with her overcoat on. :rolleyes: "Can I have a word with you?"sez she, so I steps out into the passage and she accuses me of having an affair with this other wimmins that I didn't know at all! Cos she saw her wink at me.
We went back to Poole and I dumped her as soon as we got back. She had done this sort of thing so many times.
Then about 3 days later I had her mother on the phone as she was going mental, not going to work, crying non-stop etc etc.
"Not my fault, missus. She needs to see a medic!"
The next Saturday said female turns up on my doorstep, cool as a cucumber sorry as anything. Talk about non-plused!
It took all day for me to convince her that no, I didn't want to go to bed with her, no we were not going to see each other again etc etc.
Such a shame as in many ways she was brilliant but the screw that was loose was such an important one.
I think I had better go to bed now. This could go on too long!:rolleyes:;):)
Sleep tight!

Domestic violence has no place in society. I'm sorry you went through that

Mine's a Defender Puma. With aircon, which adds much difficulty when trying to do any work under the bonnet. And the engine cooling / cab heating pipework would give a plumber nightmares. So the journey to the turbo is a long one.

Piccy of a puma engine, without the bodywork and under bonnet obstructions. The other (turbo) side is not quite as bad.

Its not an item I want to scrimp and scrape on, too much effort if a second hand one fails or an unknown quality item is fitted and fails. And as I have to work on my driveway, I could end up having to repair in winter. Price of a new one includes the electronic stepper motor for the variable vane part. (no waste gate on these).

Was out for a drive with 'er indoors last weekend, we both agreed that a classic mini like the one we had in the 80's would make a great second car. Or an MG - midget or B. We both think the mini was the one car we should never have sold. Its probably the driver input that's needed in a defender that makes driving such fun and enjoyable, so like a car from back then.

I had a Cooper s with a gold seal engine the day I sold it I should have cut my hands off 😭😭😭
