Cars are better than partners anyhoo[], cos they don't answer back and are much more reliable, more fun etc etc ......[]

When cars can suck you off in an acceptable manner, THEN they will be better than girls, not before

Excellent purchase dude.Those wheels set that car off perfectly against the black bodywork,ye must be well chuffed .[H]

P.S ... Don't  mean to criticise, but the only thing is they show yer calipers up a wee bit now,i had to paint mine when a put new wheels on as they were faded and showing surface corrosion.Well worth the effort though!!

PlaySatan: Not only funny and accurate, but tremendously gifted writing. If you ask Stephen nicely, he will proof read it for you! [] Oh yeah! And the wheels look excellent too!

Totally agree Johno ! I will get round to that after i have painted the garage floor & walls []

Has anyone got any good link before I do a "bigdavie" .........I understand that track days will annihilate ( sp?) the paint from what I can gather ?

Don't worry about it Cal, after a few more years of married life you will become a real master of deception in regards to mods for your motor.

I've been married for 5 years now and the wife still doesn't know half of the things I buy for the car.

I did slip up the other day mind you. I bought a set of mud flaps off Scoobyworld for £150 a few months back and told the other half they cost £75 but then when speaking to a mate and not realising she had crept up behind me I told my mate the real price !!  Got moaned at for an hour or so but just went in to Homer mode (Blah blah blah blah blah...........).

If she can't see it she won't know !

[darryl_martin]

Wheels looking good mate. At least geometry settings and springs wont  be so obvious[]. Fitted decat centre section to mine today, old one's now wrapped up in boot and will be coming out when I've managed to get rid of the old centre section of my last car which is still sitting in the garage(she'll never know the difference[]), for similar reasons!!! Glad everythings back on an even keel.

[redscoobydoo]

soz cal, never saw this post, cheers..  agreed with kloon at the rr day to buy his spares.Do you know what they are.

Get a new Bird, that likes cars with "scoops n Tails" [] Problem solved....[]

Or as above order yer bits then explain when they arrive why thaey had to be bought, for your SAFETY!!! Always a good one that.

That's why Wuz is carrying out some more work on my car to make it safer and It requires a remap as i use octane boost which is good for the engine, but its safer to get it mapped as well.

Anyways it ma car, ma money so "chooch p4ps" thats what i say

Hehehe, loving this thread BTW, Have to say My lass is not a fan of the Ironing boards on the back of the cars, but ive told her that she dont have any choice in the matter when I am Finaly in the postition to Buy a Decent Scoob!

She was also trying to tell me that I'll not be able to get a decent car like that when weve got a family coz "they are not practical"... Now thats when her argument collapsed....  After pointing out that My car has loads of room in it (its a Wagon) I then started to point out that.

1. Wagons and saloons are the same size.
   
2. Styling (ie spoilers) has no bearing on the practicality of the car
   
3. the only difference between my GL and any turbo model is merely under the bonnet, you would never know  []
   

She dont argue with me about it anymore, she accepts that I AM going to have one, and it will be mighty faster than the Shed™  []

At least one good think about her tho, she is insisting that I am getting money from the mortgage to fix me bike!!!!!!!!!

Happy boi  [H]

Loving them wheels m8 ...good choice imo  [Y]

The golden rule for me is two wait 2hrs for the recipient of the moding news to calm down and then to continue the conversation by text from a remote location.................tends to keep to tempers down...........

So Natalie, "Do you dig my new rims" I said..........." Nah, they have big gaps !" she replied..............ye canny win sometimes !

CGS

[st3ph3n]

Tell her the new rims have big gaps because it makes them lighter (even if it's a lie), and as such you will have improved fuel efficiency. You're saving the environment and your bank account.

Win win situation.

Unless she thinks the savings should go to her shoe/handbag/whatever the hell it is women buy fund. Then you've run into an over justification issue.

[micra_wrc]

i've a question for those guys who think their other halves dont read the forums..... how do you know that she doesnt know what you're up to??

I know of at least 4 other girlfriends that surf these pages when their men are out........ albeit their blokes know about it.

dont want to cause mass paranoia, it was just a thought!

I'm afraid Imy, as a man, I can only do one thing well at a time. As a result when I'm modding the car it goes well but the missus has a face on for weeks and when I'm being a family man the motor has to take a back seat.

What I can do however is translate office speak bullsh!t into real words and vice versa, my 17 years working for a large faceless company means I have read more then the odd "mission statement". How we got by before them I don't know?
