Exciting Stuff

I collected my Viento chassis today, and my first lot of bits. I want to go and start building it now but my wife won't let me





My wife is very understanding, she understands that if I am in the garage I am not in the house annoying her.

I came home on Thursday after three weeks away working, it was my birthday yesterday and I am away tomorrow for another four weeks. She seems to think I should spend some time with her and the kids.
I did suggest that they stand at the garage door and speak to me but that idea was met with swear words on her part. Huh some people

Get the kids to help, then she gets to argue with them about helping Dad work on the car.

Believe this or not, I actually have a toilet in my garage and a double sink, oven, microwave etc. I really do, but it's a long story
