Hello Guys

[gaunty]

i will have to tell the other half that i can get away with that mod then she didnt like it sideways i wonder what else i can try and get away with mod wise

[edmondo]

having one at the front and one at the rear stiffens the body.....................invisible Mods..............well Anti Lift Kit , uprate your rear droplinks , there are various different suspension kits..................get a walboro Fuel Pump , Bigger injectors ...................Simtek or Ecutek ECU............decat the Downpipe and centre section of your exhaust.......you will need a decent Back Box - A Blitz Nur Spec ( she will notice this but you could kid here that was the only thing you had done )....................Then get Bob Rawle ( based in Swindon ) to re-map your car .....................she will never know until she sees the Bank Statement / Credit Card Statement

[gaunty]

i will give this ago and see what happens.Just out of question if i do do this and her indoors kicks me out any one got a garden big enough for a tent and space on the driveway for my car

[edmondo]

................she might notice the power increase as well ......................you need her to come to some meets / events and she will find all the women that come actively encourage mods ( well most anyway ) and she will find that most of us are slightly off the wall but are a bit older than expected

Tolerate may be a slightly more accurate description!

and she will find that most of us are slightly off the wall but are a bit older than expected

Nope, that's just Ed - the rest of us are perfectly normal, witty, handsome young'uns that are well, ummmn, slightly prone to exaggeration when it comes to how young and err, normal we all [wish we] are!

i will do then every one else can try and tell her it good for the car, engine and mpg if i have a really high bhp only useing a little bit will be better on the fuel or thats what i say so i can start modding it she keeps on looking at cars at about 2k and i look at cars about 500 pounds the rest can go on my car for some reson she does not like this idea i cant see why

sounds fair to me..............my other car is a 93 Mondeo which cost me £25.01.............used it for 16 months - none of the electrics work however gets me from Bristol and back most days so good bargains are around thus leaving you with a decent wedge to do mods to the main car

tbf Gaunty the best approach when dealing with the mrs, cars and money is generally the........................................

"dont worry you pretty little head about that my sweetness"...................................

you'll be divorced in 3 seconds flat and able to do what you want!

[gaunty]

[stinger]

see Ed, i think what you ought to be doing is spending all year helping Jaqs pass her test then your xmas present next year can be not having to drive anywhere!

[edmondo]

and not drive the Scooby..................as much as I would like Jacqui to pass her test I think a Scooby would be a bit to much
