View Full Version : Getting back together with my ex

Coming up on two years ago I broke up with the love of my life, a young lady called Lizzy. We had been together for nearly 3 years but after a change in jobs she was annoyed that I wasn't seeing her very often and despite this she was still demanding expensive gifts on a regular basis so I decided that enough was enough and we broke up.
From there it was downhill, she was on the market for a month before she ran off with my best friend Graham and each time I saw them together a little piece of me died. Their relationship has been far from smooth and she has cheated on him twice, once with me a year ago when I was up north for a wedding. It felt very strange at the time, I did really enjoy myself but it reopened old wounds that hurt too much and I swore that it would never happen again.
The last few months have been very difficult for them, first she broke her glasses resulting in Graham having to buy her a new pair and then at the end of September she was the victim of a brutal attack that left her needing plastic surgery. The plastic surgery was done last week and was very successful so I was very surprised when she called me on Saturday in tears and told me that Graham was planning on leaving her for another woman called Porsche. This stayed on my mind for the rest of the day and I thought a good nights sleep would help but the whole of Sunday all I could do was think about her and what it felt like to be inside her. Last night I called Graham and had a chat with him, he remains my best friend despite running off with my girl and I offered to help him out of a difficult situation and take her back.
So on 21st November I will be heading up to Newcastle to pick her up, in the mean time Graham has promised to keep her fed and watered. I can hardly wait!

It gets even better, my friend just had a call from a Frenchman asking if he could come up this weekend and buy her.
God knowns what he would have done to her, well known fact that you can't trust the French with a pretty English girl ;)
That's really nice to get your old car back :)

I doubt even you could stretch her exhaust, it's big bore enough already ;)
Top news this evening, was originally going to be heading up on 21st November to pick her up but I am going up to Leeds next Monday for work so will be taking a train journey up to Newcastle instead of a train back to Cambridge ;D

Insurance sorted at £450 which was far better than their first offer of £750 and certainly better than the £1k I used to pay :shocked: It seems that getting older and wiser has its advantages.
Train ticket from Leeds to Newcastle booked for a mere £10, it's a slow train but I'm in no rush and for £10 I'm not complaining.
Activity day with LoT/Carlimits booked for North Weald for 11th December, that should write the rear tyres off so I can get a new set with some tread on to see my through the winter.
and finally..... Mrs DL commented tonight that I was excited about something in advance of it happening for the first time since she has known me (3+ years). I just don't get excited about stuff that is going to happen but the thought of collecting her on Monday has me grinning like a Cheshire cat and bouncing around the room like a 5 year old that has just been fed a 6 pack of full fat coke :D

I knew what this would be about before I even opened the thread. Great news you're getting her back, lovely car that she is :)
Oh yeah, forgot you used to have an Elise.
Funk me though, that's a lot for insurance :eek:

£450 isn't a huge amount for a group 19 car, 10k/year with Business Class 1 and a claim last year especially as I've yet to hit the big 3-0. Bizarrely enough I'm paying £650 for the Mundano with the same underwriter :shocked:
the odd thing about this thread is that if it were taken in it's literal sense, bar the attack and breaking of glasses, and getting back together and thinking about her - it sounds just like my ex, me and my best mate. :o

I was paying similar to be insured on my Corsa until I turned 25, at which point it only knocked another hundred or so off it.

Home and rather tired. Long day and I've been reminded why I avoid trains most of the time, they seem to have adopted the airline model of ripping off customers :angry:
Drive from Newcastle to Cambridge was a rather definite two parter. Left Newcastle during the rush hour and the drive down the A1 to York(ish) was busy. Getting reacquainted with a car in the dark with heavy traffic probably wasn't the best idea and when I stopped at York services I wondered how the hell I used to drive her long distances on a regular basis. The drive from York to Cambridge was much quieter (well the traffic was, the car was still bloody noisy :D) and it just flew by and felt really natural. Cruising around the speed limit the car has instant urge thanks to the close ratio gear box making it far easier to keep with the flow of the traffic compared to the Mundano which is quite long geared and despite being a V6 lacks low down punch.
Got back to Cambridge and filled her up only to be reminded of her party piece. Not many cars capable of 0-60 in under 5.5s with a close ratio gear box that will return 39mpg on a run without even trying! :D
I'm a happy boy though I may be forced to kill one of the neighbours cats* within 5 seconds of me opening the door it had tried to jump in and when I moved it away it jumped on the newly painted front clam :evil:
*I wouldn't really harm a cat, especially not one with such excellent taste

No, no no... Do kill it. :evil:

As a side note I got a Flip Mino HD as a present recently and have been trying to work out what I could use it for, tonight I gave it a test. Quality in the dark isn't great (much better in daylight) and I need to work on the positioning (or flip the mirror up and out the way) but I'm happy with it as a proof of concept though I am far from impressed with the BMW driver. He used his indicator FFS (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1021083/bmw.mov)
You should of been much further up his arse to ensure you were able to let him know he should of let you past!
