The Wife Thinks
« on: 11 November 2008, 21:36:43 »
The wife wife and the Mother in law reakon I'm sad for signing up on this forum. When I asked them why their reply was that "its only a car why do you men get so excited about them". Now I don't know about some of you guys but I take pride in my motor and she is always as clean as can be and I enjoy talking/meeting with other people with the same intrests.

Funny thing is going back about 7 years ago when I owned a suped up Rover she never said no to coming down the cruise and when I mentioned that fact she just said "thats a diffrent thing all together".
Is there anyone else here that gets a bit of ribbing for have an intrest?

John  :D

P.S. And I have just made my first purchase from the oof shop a tax disc holder and a sticker for the back window.

Mine used to complain about me spending time on the laptop in the evening, and have been called sad for spending so much time on here. ::) ::) ::)

I partly resolved the problem by buying her a laptop for Christmas, last year, hardly moaned since as she gets hers out when I get mine out..... :y

my mrs was just the same & telling me to scrap it due to the inherited g/box fault issue & the other problems along the way, but now the cars done she loves it [especially the heated seats] but without the OOF support i would have been working blind, anyway if they think you are sad then next time they want a lift you know what to say :y

Glad i am not the only one getting a hard time :o My wife also thinks i am mad, but i say to her it is my hobby and i love the car.You could do worse things than enjoying your car.
I have also purchased a sticker for the back window and must say it looks great  ;)

My wife calls the forum dave  (like the tv channel) as a joke. She became more interested though when i told her i can get up to 40% off all year round (with abs card)

P.S. Just showed her the diamond encrusted merc. I reckon she is slowly coming round to our way of thinking
