    Looks lovely Frankie, I know I keep saying but I love the phase 1 700 series cars, one day I'll have a 765
    Decided I'm going to give the 940 some love at the weekend ready for the VPC meet on Sunday

    Prefer a 900 series or V90 estate, engine or transmission isnt really important but i quite like the straight 6 auto. Id prefer black but a dark colour for sure.

    Just a big summer cruiser i can tart up and flog later on really.

    Boy was it bad, so I've had too take a step back for the sake of the marriage and kids... The house has never looked so spotless! lol

    Now I understand how we have to make sacrifices from time to time for the sake of a marriage (jeez do I understand) but if my missus acted like that I'd kick her out lol.

    The thing is Ian if it's like me her indoors has ago at me time to time about my cars,Just because I don't use them very much as we all know.
    she keeps wanting things done around the house or have the weekend away some wear which I will do no great problem which is good to get away time to time.
    but at the end of the day they are still sat outside waiting for me to have a play when I've done the husband bit.
    Like I say if she's happy we are happy.

    My mrs plays up from time to time, but I wouldn't have her controlling my past times & my mrs knows she ever throws that ring at me she will never get it back.
    As long as you do your bit to help out I don't see what the problem is with surfing the net.
    If it's a trust issue you need to nail it on the head Ian as it will keep surfacing.
    Hope your good mate! Much love!
    Frankie I'm loving your daily mate, it's spot on.

    Do what I do Ian, organise a RR day, get a dozen of your mates to call round at 0700 for her to make 'bacon sarnies' for then tell her you'll see her later when she's made burgers and hotdogs for 30+ people.....can't see the problem tbh lol

    Ian Ian Ian, I really don't see what the problem is, do you have to be sat next to her holding her hand every minute of the day? You even work together, it's not healthy mate, you are your own person first and foremost, you need to do things you're into as well
