A long time ago, for a joke( she didn't laugh), I bought my wife new a New Self Driving Lawnmower for mothers day. She was not impressed. I explained that she complained about the steepness of our lawn, when she mowed, so I said, I was making it easier for her. All day, she had the ****'s. Then, at 4.30pm, a salesman turned up at our door, and gave her a set of keys. It was for a new Mini Moke Californian that was out in the driveway. She was estatic. She had been talking about Mokes for 2 years, and always wanted one, so I got one for her for Mother's Day. The reason she was mowing the lawn all the time, I had two jobs going at the same time. Soldiering during the day, and for a fair while driving taxis at night, so was not really available to mow the lawn at the end of the week.

The wife brings up this story all the time about what I bought her for one mother's day, at happy hours, or when meeting new people, rarely mentions the Moke. Do you think she is still having a dig at me all these years later?
I am still looking for it, myself, as I bought an old 850cc version, to restore, and had it for 4 years. Got an offer I should have refused, and sold it., after one today, as the economy is very good, and they are such a fun vehicle. No good in an accident, I bet though.
