Does your other half love your car as much as you?

Post by Ben »

Till tonight I would have said no .... but .. parked outside block busters ... walking back to the car .. and I was thinking ... God it looks like a beast ... and before I thought 'beast' .. Jo said .. there's the Beast ... quite a nice feeling...

Whenever i suggested i'm going to sell the car .. it's jo that talks me out of it.

Nope. My wife hates my GTR with a passion, she calls it 'The Money Pit' (which it is, lol). Which is why i love it even more, just so it annoys her.

Oh dear, not this thread again.

My missus HATES the Rex,
she loathes me spending any money on it at all,

* hates that its smelly (running rich at mo),
* hates the fact that I wont leave it anywhere dodgy,
* hates that I only use it at weekends,
* hates that its so thirsty,
* hates that its so unreliable (in her words...in mine...it just needs tlc)
* hates that the suspension is hard,
* hates that there is no room in it,
* hates that I bought it in the first place instead of saving the money,
* hates that I peruse the forums and meet lots of nice like minded
people that encourage me to spend money on it (Scott !!!!!!)
* hates that I like talking about it,
* hates that when we go out with her friends I can always find someone
who has respect for it,
* hates that I clean it rather than her car,
* hates that I keep fiddling with it,
* hates that its soooo expensive for parts (it really isnt as people keep
writing them off so 2ndhand parts a plenty!)
* hates..........

^-- These are just the things I have thought of now !
Whenever its her birthday, anniv etc etc I always write in the cards 'Love Gareth and Rex'....just to annoy her :lol:

Got some more mods I bought last year and have been hiding away...havent told her yet....that'll be fun :wink:
