We can up to a point, but it is the obsession that can cause problems.  When the engine appears in the kitchen for strip down that is when it has gone too far!!

I knew a chap who was given an ultimatum; "the car parts go from the house or I do!"  She went!! ::) ::) ::) ::) :o :o :o :D :D ;)

You mean that some men are actually allowed to bring bits of car/engine into the house to play with mend?  :o  :o  :o  :o

We men can never win, women complain if the car needs to be repaired or not, even after the repair they still have something to say,( eg it drove better before you fixed it, (knackerd steering idler arm)) :-/
not that i have anything aginst you girls but we can never win.

That's right. You accept that there's going to be some flak flying around and learn to dodge / ignore / deflect it as required. Job's a good'un. ;D
