"Where did I get that moke , what do you mean where did I get the moke , some bloke dropped it off earlier and said you'd bought it ......"

OR

Bound in excitedly , "Awww thank's love" to which she'll reply "Huh , what did I do" , "a couple of guy's just dropped a moke off and said you bought it for me , thank's for that , I'll get you some flowers later on this afternoon ..." .

Mike-Take it down to Al Munday's place.He won't notice another Moke in his front yard :shock:
Then in 5 years time you can have it ready and licenced,and just mention you have seen "another" Moke down at Al's for sale,and that it is in really good condition because someone has done a lot of work on it!!

While she is keen for me to get out do some gardening,
I doubt replacing lawn with cars was what she has in mind

Take it apart and bring it home as 'spares' for the other moke.
It's not your fault if you have enough spare parts for a whole other moke.
:D

I think bring it home as spares or pretend like she bought it from a couple of random guys - just say that you didn't ask their names - they were very worthwhile suggestions!

Went to look at it last night, & bought it.

Sooooo, asked the wife (by phone) if I could have her car on Saturday
to "pick up some stuff"
"What is it?"
me "Just some car stuff"
her "It's not another mini is it?"
me "No. You'll just have to wait & see."

She hates suprises. The suspense is killing her - she will actually be releived when she sees the moke. Or so the theory goes :wink:

PS Thanks for the beer Andrew
