My misses' birthday on Saturday and she keeps going on about wanting a real, full sized VW Scirocco.
However, because I'm poor and can't afford one, I thought I'd go 1 notch down and get her a die cast. . .however I only seem to be able to find the old ones or ones located in America.
Anyone give me a hand? Not necessarily on finding one, but diecast model websites that they've used before?!
Failing that, it'll be a Corgi toy car

Are you sure this is actually a good idea?

Positive.
eBay always comes up trumps.
P.S. I have already bought her a £120 hand bag

She may also realise you are poor and dump you.

Im not sure how you think relationships work - but buying a pisstake model of a car she wants from you does not earn you brownie points. Funny yes, brownie points no.
And just for the record, asking guys out for drinks behind her back also doesnt get you brownie points.

No. I tried eBay and bought a genuine VW one just hope it arrives in time.
She'll love it.
If not, I'll take it off the stand and crawl around the floor with it making vroom vroom noises.

I got one off ebay to go on my desk at work, cost £11 I think. Not as good as the real one in my garage though
