She says it is spikey

I did say it is mid life consumables going wrong

Spent a silly amount in the last year

Sitting at home with engine being redismantled again

women never understand us men and our toys

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!!

 :-?

if I hear a sentence like that I'll definitely think I'm with the wrong person , so who's next (not the car)

Thats the problem.

Also, my engine is running on all cylinders   

What about when yours goes wrong?

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

      

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...

Remember going round my mates house in the 70's - to help rebuild his 395bhp 3.8 E-type sprint engine in his kitchen!!  Those were the days - have trouble getting in my double garage now!!
