    My wife dosent understand------

    My wife of 22 years, still has not got her head around the Garage space/time continuium,

    She still cant work out when going up the garage that---

    Just going for a look, or, wont be a moment, means at least half an hour.

    10 mins means at least an hour,

    Half an hour, at least 2 hours.

    About an Hour, probably half a day

    A couple of hours, at least half the day, if not the whole day.

    and, Just going out in the car to try out the new ------ well how long is a piece of string.

    She just dosent get it, makes perfect sense to me .

    Well what about women? "I be ready in a minute" usually means "Give me half an hour"

    women cant get ready on time and a quick shop lasts all day, so i think it evens out, but i deny the car expense thing, most of my cars cost less a weekly food shop!!

    Although i havn't worked on the car for months now. Today was the first day in ages and i fitted chequered plating to my passenger side floor to go with the drivers side and got rid of the foot rest
    Done my brothers car too
    I just like to get in and drive it nowadays instead of tinkering on it all the time.
    Thats probably cos ive spent far too much on it and cant afford to do anything on it now
    Not that it really needs anything on it
    Heres the chequered plating

    Just finished a 12 hour stint on the Cosnada Had enough now.

    Fitting a Cossie diff in it and have had to cut 5 inches out of the rear axle beam worried at first - looking ok now. Quite a bit of tidying and bits to do.

    I will be able to put it in the car soon and be able to mount the diff to it and the diff to the floor

    Alot of work but it'll be worth it having an LSD behind me
