We can up to a point, but it is the obsession that can cause problems. When the engine appears in the kitchen for strip down that is when it has gone too far!!

I knew a chap who was given an ultimatum; "the car parts go from the house or I do!" She went!!

You mean that some men are actually allowed to bring bits of car/engine into the house to ~~play with~~ mend?

That's right. You accept that there's going to be some flak flying around and learn to dodge / ignore / deflect it as required. Job's a good'un.

Currently have 2 MV6 heads in the living room - plenty of protection down of course.

She goes nuts - but there's nothing more theraputic than grinding in a few valves in front of the TV...
