Title: Wife trouble Post by Trebor on Apr 20th, 2006, 3:27pm 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. :) Rob |

Title: Re: Wife trouble Post by mr._floppy on Apr 20th, 2006, 11:51pm 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. :-X |

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. :) |

Title: Re: Wife trouble Post by Baw_Flinger on Apr 21st, 2006, 12:43pm 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' |

Title: Re: Wife trouble Post by jonnycab on Apr 25th, 2006, 2:15am There does seem to be a slight sexist overtone in this post. Don't get me wrong, I'm a full red blooded male but I'm married to a woman who laughs at this kind of banter. She used to own a 5 litre '72 Chevrolet Chevelle, & then she had a 3.8 litre '85 Ford Thunderbird. My MK1 3.0 Granada & my 2.3 Scorpio are just little cars!!! I might add that she has two brothers that are regular drag racers at Santa Pod. The good news is that I have now convinced her that 10mpg is not good fuel economy & she now drives a 2.0 Mondeo. |
