Quick & dirty pics of my new birthday Explorer
My birthday today and look what wifey presented me this morning, she did the usual, card, aftershave, socks, new football and then she pulled out an unfeasibly large wrapped box and low & behold this little beauty was inside.
Guys I was really shocked, there had been no hint what so ever, she’d even phoned my AD last week and asked her to take it out of the display until she could collect. I was in my AD’s on Friday speaking to the Manageress and she never uttered a word. We haven’t got a chance against the sisterhood have we?lol Needless to say I’m in shock, I grabbed these pics with my compact and I’ll try and take some better pics when I get time in a day or so. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Wow you have an awesome wife! beautiful watch too. It is good thing that my wife would never do this, because I would die of shock and she would get the insurance money and a new husband to share it with. Could you see it your dead and some bloke gets a new Rolex (and your old ones too) with your death money. Oh yea by the way if you received birthday love from your wife after she gave you the watch, you must kill yourself. You just hit the high point of your life, it goes down hill from here.

The only thing I can think of better than having a wife like your Chris, would be to be named as Mike's benificiary!

Between Spencer and his new SS Daytona and you and that beautiful, white-face Ex-II, the prospect of marriage keeps sounding better and better. Now I'll just need to copy and paste this, and then forward to the girlfirend via e-mail!

That is one of the best DJs I've ever seen. It looks amazing considering the age.
