1. Thou shalt not read thy Hemmings on company time, lest thy employer make it impossible to continue thy car payments.

2. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's car nor his garage, nor his battery charger.

3. Thou shalt not store thy car out-of-doors except for the wife's Toyota. (hey now, I have a Toyota and it sits OUTSIDE)

4. Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking that thee is taking her for a romantic Sunday drive when indeed thou art going out to look at another car.

5. Thou shalt not love thy cars more than thy wife and children.

6. Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor's Edsel, nor his DeSoto, nor even his '47 Plymouth.

7. Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of thy latest restoration, at least not all at the same time.

8. Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition for the house and then use it to store cars.

9. Thou shalt not allow thy sons and daughters to get married during the car show season.

10. Thou shalt not buy thy wife a floor jack for Christmas.

I thought this and going to the junk yard were considered romantic outings.

Now, really - what's unreasonable about that? I could use it to rotate the tires on her car. I could use it to do her brake jobs. Sound entirely reasonable to me.
 
RG, of course she is still going to marry me Oct. 15th. Everyone who wants to come is invited. Just remeber to bring gifts, preferably old Triumph parts, though I could always use spares for my IHs also. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

Jaybird - 'tween you and RG I'm almost felling for ol' waltese and his rumph.

Waltese - only one thing to do when out numbered like that - sound retreat and declare victory.

Rad, Rg won't jump aboard the jealous TR bashing. Look at her signature shes a proud GT6 owner. As for Jaybird, you gotta remeber us 'rumpf' owners only need a few spare parts, not complete parts cars to keep us supplied like MG owners. I think I'll jsut let her little jab go, mostly because I pitty her and all MG owners so much.
 
Just because it hasn't been started and she has been driving the Ginetta doesn't mean she no longer likes Triumphs. Just means she likes the Ginetta more, and who wouldn't? MGs are cool, Triumphs are cooler, and the Ginetta trumps them both.
