The 600s are cool, but IMO that van thing is just goofy lookin'...lol.  Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, of course.

I don't think just a dinner will do it ---- I've already booked 2 weeks in Europe for the end of March for our 20th (including a twilight annniversary dinner at 'Le Jules Verne' -- do a google on what a window dinner is gonna cost me there... ...ouch I say LOL) --- -- Don't think I'm gonna be able to top that -- -- at least, not with my wallet I won't lol

     Whatever it takes to keep peace at home and keep the project too, just don't try the,( Honey its your Christmas gift) thing , or it will cost you far more then the  European vacation.    that's my guess, good luck.....

If I had one for sale around my corner, I'd not have second thoughts about it. Absolutely not at that price!

And it fits under the sink if need be, so space could not be an issue!

Or...You could compromise.  Build it "wife friendly", and let her choose the color etc.

And after she grows tired of it..it's all yours  Grin   Kind'a like a trojan horse.

Leave loads of hints about the toplino everywhere, then have a bit of a row about how much it would cost. Once she's simmered down a bit, suggest the multipla, I mean, it's nearly 10 times cheaper! Wink
