    She will come round mate... it all works out in the end. Unless your me, then she attempts to kill and remove the renault passion... chews you up then spits out the bones of your once out going jolly self... ultimatly the dimise of your soul, and end of you hobby and life... then you become grumpy and old, hmmmm sounds like my new found self

    Yeah I do and i'm sure it happens to us all now and again but to be honest I wouldn't want another half that was really in to cars, otherwise I'd have to find more new hobbies

    The only way I get away with keeping the 5 has the hobby car is to buy her something nice before I go play with the car.

    Re: in the dog house

    Matt,

    Punch her in the FACE.....................

    On a serious note, it will probably never change. my Mrs hates the 5 and takes the mick out of me, but in all seriousness, i know she's glad that's my thing, I could go out down the pub every night and drink my money away instead, or be into football and go to the match every Saturday.

    Make out it could be something worse, end of the day it's not like 5's are expensive (if you buy clever)

    Re: in the dog house

    My missus is pretty awesome...she's always ENCOURAGING me to have a poke about the car, go to events etc

    I'm not a drinker or party animal but I really enjoy spending time tinkering with the cars, always have done. Last Sat the Ewok popped down, we had an awesome day of getting oily and getting stuck in

    I suppose it's about moderation in the end. Most of my day is spent with my amazing 3yr old girl. Any time my missus isn't doing anything, we are usually together

    I'm just a happy and lucky chap all round, can't complain

    I am lucky, I don't have any problems. My better half is pretty understanding when it come to the cars. Helps by holding the touch until the early hours, running down the Autofactors, ordering and posting out parts. She even drivers the Turbo Extra van to some meets. Likes driving the cossy

    Sometimes my misses is great, even leant a hand to strip down the engine just before christmas and spent 2 hours cleaning the oil off of everything but then she can moan like hell and make comments about it and the fact that has spent alot of time in bits.

    when we first got together she said if I ever cheat she'd cut my balls off but now she'd set fire to the 5 I dunno which is worst

    Re: in the dog house

    My mrs WAS really good to begin with then she did the stupid thing of asking what was more important, the car or her! She wanted me to be honest and lets face it, she didnt like the answer ! Now, she despises the car, despises me going to meets unless she comes (dont know how that works....)! She knows that its never going to change though

    The joys of being single

    Finally, I get to do whatever i want, when i want. Isn't it funny when you're with someone how you can end up changing to keep them happy. Was ok with my ex wife as she let me do whatever i wanted, weekends away, club meets, curry nights, the works. Tried doing that with the ex girlfriend and it was a nightmare!

    Is Ricardo back....

    Re: in the dog house

    My Charlotte is pretty cool with my and the 5's, she enjoys going to events, enjoys going to track days & going out on track ... she even did a sneaky lap in the cup car at mallory on the way back to the camp site... that made her day.

    She buys me thing's for the 5, has got her dad to lend me his barn for my cars & parts...

    The only thing she wont do is help me clean the car, but other than that she is a keeper.

    Re: in the dog house

    About 5 years ago I was living with a lass and her 1.5yr old son, the 5 had four seats then, child seat in the back, used to run us about everywhere. All was good until the gearbox input shaft bearing sleeve let go and needed some work, car was off the road for a couple of months whilst I was getting the cash together to fix it, she was whinging constantly about it just sitting there and in the meantime she went and got finance on another car for herself to run about in, bearing in mind I'm the only one working.

    Finally got the cash together to fix it only to be told I "wasn't allowed" use it to fix the 5 as she thought it would be better to spend it on paying one of her credit cards off, also I should sell the 5 in it's current condition so we could pay off another of her credit cards. I told her this was unacceptable, she came back with the classic "it's the car or me", I moved out the next day. The look on her face was classic.

    Met someone so much nicer a few months later, and yeah it's about compromise, she had her hobbies I had mine, time was set by for these, and quality time was set by for each other too.

    Re: in the dog house

    Moved out the next day lol that's great, good move by the sound of it to.

    My birds fine about me spending my time and money on my cars,
    I have always been heavily into them and she knew this from before we started goin out.

    She really doesn't like the Cossie 5 but that's cos she's scared it's dangerous and I'll get hurt or in trouble with, by doin sully things, and she doesn't understand what the point of the car is, it's 'cos I can' lol
    but I spend soo much time and money workin on the house and pay for most stuff she has no grounds to complain really. Lol

    Re: in the dog house

    arnt they all the same.

    my misus is all ways complaining that i spend to much time on the car or spend to
    much money on it. but as previously said 'modderation' is the key word.
    she lets me crak on wich is good. but buy god she narf moan if im home late.

    then theres the better side of her, shes had her hands in de-greaser. sprayed the inside of the car, chucked in a set of big ends.
    she'll come to my work shop and make tea, clean up, and generaly **** around with me and with the car. my little girl loves it too, she comes to car shows and racing avents also.

    so all in all i shudnt complain .
