DUDE ... she's just going to HAVE to UNDERSTAND!
What better place to squeeze a 4" bore turbo flat-4 powerplant? Especially one that wheezes ALCHOHOL Fumes!!!!!

I'm going to be personally crushed  if there isn't a new thread in about 2 days ... MultiPLOLIO.

Look at it ... perfect point of condition to be thrashed into the QUICKEST AND FASTEST MULTIPLA EVER!!!!!

Just my .02 ;)

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

Wellllll -- it's got two strikes against it --- the wife is digging her heels in for the "no way in hell" vote and the assholio that owns it isn't communicating

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  ;D   Kind'a like a trojan horse.

Just buy it and tell her nothing, once you've got it at home tell her it's too late to complain  ;D

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! ;)
