My wife hates cars, my interest in them, and this website, with a passion.....

Tough shit


I was into cars before I met her, for the 6 years we've been together and nothing has changed there except the budget (it's drastically smaller now I'm married )

But she's still pissed off cos she hasn't changed me And she never, ever will....

My girlfriend loves my Capri and has often told me not to get rid of it!

But on the flipside she does hate the idea of me getting Saph Cos though, as she thinks they're rank

My girlfreind orignally hated mine before she really got to know me and why i like them. She mistook me for a boy racer before i explained the difference between people who are passionate about cars and people who buy cars to extend their penis size

These days she is quite fond of it, but everytime i thinking about buying a 328i shes very quick to agree

All in all though she has no problems with my interest in cars - sees it as a better hobby than being down the pub etc

I have no problems with his car as i get to drive it

When we met i was the one with the RS etc... i think thats why we get on well because we share the same (similar) interests

7 years on and we are still going strong

She hates my 'Project' with a passion, although she did agree to it having it's own bank acount

On the other hand the focus... Well lets just say she spends more time in it than I do

Mine has had about 40 years of fast cars & takes little interest in them.
She has been in my Cossie twice in the 11years ive owned it both times she ended up screaming. Had her own Sports car for a few years & just pootled around in it. Happy for me to carry on with modded cars as long as I dont cramp her interests.
Rod

ps. Mind you she made 33 phone calls today to find something required for the Dyno on Monday, none in the country we were told at MAD.
Yep! she found some & im leaving in the morning & travelling 150 miles to pick them up & she will come with me .

Ive always been into cars though even before we met, so its 2nd nature, dont mind him doing anything to it, working on it etc

oh and i drive it more than him
