Why does the birth of a daughter reduce all grown men to discard any last vesige of taste?

I recognise the symptoms - our house became a riot of primary colours, especially pink, within minutes of cutting the umbilical cord.  Oh, and the people-carrier wasn't far behind (he said, dragging the thread back to cars).  I consider myself lucky to have kept the shed and the GTI!


Shadow blue DSG 5 door with leather, sunroof, 18" Monzas, MFSW. 
Full list of mods:  Seat inserts and a VW bottle opener.  Each worth 20bhp.

I managed to smash a king sized mattress, bed and a load of other sh*t into the back of my A6 Avant the other day - and still closed the boot.

It may drive like a sack of crap, but it never lets me down!

If you're going to have a bus, get a big one.
Sideways yo!

Pfft, I managed to fit a full bathroom (bath, shower base, toilet and wash basin and pedestal) in my Mk4 Golf, 3 door!!  :confused:

It did reduce it to a one person car. Bath fitted in, just. Hooking it over the front passenger seat it squeezed in with millimetres to spare.  :laugh:

I transported an engine and flywheel out of a mk2 punto on the passenger seat of my mk2 punto a while back (wouldn't go in the boot)... Interesting 20 mile drive home, had to move it to get 1st gear every time. :D
