Wife trouble

I have got trouble with my wife she wants me to get rid of my Scorpio because it's costing too much. I was just about to put my car in and do the rust spots around the rear number plate and on the nearside rear wheel arch. But it developed a water leak on the thermostat housing so I have had to have a new inlet manifold fitted. So paint job will have to wait. I think I need a garage to hide my car in.Or perhaps put the wife in the garage.

Maybe it's this site to blame with its tales of leak , failures, breakdowns and other woes and calamities, but unlike every other car I've owned I get a feeling of doom and apprehension that when it does breakdown or start giving real trouble that I will ( because of its complexity ) be powerless to fix it. 
It's like dreading the day that you have to take your much loved dog for that final one way trip to the Vet.

I am very tempted to get a Shogun Sport 2.5 TD cos I have been offered a very very good deal on a 2 year contract hire for a couple of them......
Could I sell the Cosworth though??

In January I had a wife, a Scorpio and a girlfriend. (then she found out) Now I am separated, with a girlfriend and 2 Scorpios.
I was told I would regret it, hmmmm wonder when I will start to and why?

That’s the same feeling when she mentions getting rid of my scorpio. My wife reckons I'm building a new car a bit at a time. I have just had a look at my invoices since December and it comes to £1120 she could be right.

Im coming up to that figure as well mate from december also. Since I got mine then, I have one scorp and half a girlfriend. Wouldnt mind so much if it were the lower fun half, but no, I am stuck with moaning upper half female doging about not seeing most of the time as I am working on that 'F+++++g car'

Maybe we should have a theme song for the site,
Johnny Cash - One piece at a time
If that was was the right title of it, but reckon you'll know which song I mean.
Oh yeah, I've just become a junior. Lonnnnnnng time since I've been a junior anything

I just say to my missus, "when I want your opinion, I'll let you know what it is"
And that seems to do the job.
