I wish I had a significant other to feel left out......
Hell if I had a significant other I wouldn't be building! I'd have something far more fun to spend my time doing.
Who the f**K tightened this up!

My beaultiful wife was at firdst horrified that I was taking on such a project just as we learned about the the imenet arrival of our son . I have
persaveared and she has become firstly resigned and now is looking forward to driving my car to work on the days when I will need the family car to
carry the chidren
the trick is to persavere and they will come round , as long as you are not spending the grocery money..........

My GF sees here self as a kit-car widow! Idon't think she minds to much at the moment, as she is busy revising for an archaeology exam.
It's all about time management, so I'm told. I spend too much time messing around in the garage, and I get priveledges withdrawn......
Dammit! Too many decisions....

We have a computer each connected to the modem and my wife reads her stuff and I read mine. Perfectly amicable solution. I had to rebuild hers with
some new bits yesterday though as she was having problems with mysterious crashes and lockups. All fixed now though.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Ta Tri! yup did it! He is as much as a car freak as me.......if not more!
Lisa, I am afraid to say it, but I have had nowt but encouragement from all of the lads here 'dahn sarf' who have obviously known that I
am a female for a long while!
They have been unstinting in their encouragement!. My other half was brilliant, but wouldn't let me get away with nowt but perfection, I think
that if I collected all the bits that were not 'quite right' I would have enough bits for another car! I hope the ear bashings I took
reflect the way my car has turned out. The fozzmobile went through SVA first go! I have been involved in motor racing for quite a few years now, so I
accept that I am the exception rather than the rule. I know that when I did my ARDS I was the only female there!
Liam, sorry for unwittingly hijacking ya thread/poll.

Wife is quite happy. It keeps me away from her.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
