Just tell her she owes you a new set of alloys and if she doesn't pay up you'll take her on the Jeremy Kyle Show!

The sheer thought of the embarrasment will have her paying up double quick.

Problem solved!! The only other option would be an expensive hire car but that would cost more than a set of alloys for that period of time.

buy her an old 740 saloon for as little as possible so she can get used to handling a proper big car and then she might be able to keep the 60 away from the kerbs

What ever car you buy her, knock 500 off the price and buy some replacement wheels.

Thinking outside the box. I like that one

Nah, 740 saloons are boxy too. But they're good!

Well, I've seen plenty of road worthy S40's floating around for £250-£450. Autotrader has a few for £350 taxed for a few months with some M.O.T. Once you're done with it, keep it as a spare, or strip it for parts, you'll make a few pennies on the side!

At least you haven't had the "you didn't tell me the turning circle is awful in the S60, so no wonder I ripped the wing off swinging into a parking space" excuse yet!
