Some of Mrs Tigere1's quotes about my driving/cars etc (She better not read this or its my last post)

"Could you slow down a bit"
"That car is about to turn!!" (1/2 a mile up the road)
"You don't expect me to get in that do you?"
"Where are the kids going to go?"
"You are funny about building a car!"
"So exactly how much is this car going to cost?"
"I wish we had air conditioning for the children!!"
"Could we get rid of the GTi and get a car with four doors?"
"Would you like me to drive?"
"Whens the test?"
"Come on, what have you done with the keys?"
"The car made a funny noise"
"I didn't see the pot hole honestly"

And my favourite when she hit a post in a Waitrose car park and wrote off my pride and joy was:-

"I didn't see it okay?"

If I didn't love her so much I'd be driving around in a Lotus. (Elise not Caterfield before you ask).

PS. Its our 9th wedding aniversary on Thursday, any ideas about a gift? I thought about the Ron book? Thoughts?

yeah, 9th year is commonly known as kit car anniversary sounds perfect

i'm sure i have heard those too - i think it's just from women in general... (no offence )

the one I hear most often is when she is telling others about the car ... "He's building it, but I am going to be driving it!"

women = snakes with tits

My wife has been very supportive of building a Locost (if only I could get to it). Her end of the deal is that she can have a T Bird, second-hand when prices come down a bit.

One of the kids (we have 6) pointed out that both of these cars take only two passengers.

Answer: That's right!

I ve done 23 years last Saturday with my missus ,if I'd have murdered her I'd have been out 11 years ago.
Best thing is she bought me the book for a christmas present and moaned about it ever since,her favourite saying is when youve finished this car I'm leaving you if you start another.............best start packing her bags then eh.
Cheers,

What about...

Fancy not putting a heater in it!
We can't go in the Spider it'll mess my hair up.
EH...? WHAT DID YOU SAY?

and my personal favourite, said in a smug voice....
Indicator, indicator, cancel your bloody indicator

My car is at a very early stage of completion a year away at least and all i get is how much will you get for it when its finished and will it be enough to buy a sebring. 4 years married on friday 27th wife is in london with her sister til sunday and she never remembers the date we got married. Me i'll never forget the day we got married cos CELTIC beat rangers 6-2

Your lucky to have a good way of remembering.

Close one

Cheers

Not married but I got together with my long term girlfriend on new years eve so it's quite easy to remember

I told the missus to be i want the date of the wedding on the ring, so as not to forget!

my ex just wrote it on the calander

If she had to write it on the calendar that might explain the "ex" bit

One time in the car on our way to work my missus said that I looked like a hippopotamus.
I said What the Fu...!!!
She said, when you yawns (which i just did) you look like a little sweet hippopotamus.
I said, A hippo is a hippo no matter if ist small and sweet.
She said, I think hippos are sweet

What can i say?? We are still together and i'm started building locost shortly after that

Micael

Try telling her that hippos kill more people in Africa each year than lions!

Me and wifey celebrate 7 years of wedded bliss on the 30th of this month. Easy to remember 'cos her birthdays' the 17th & mines' the 22nd of August so have birthday, wait 8 days and tadaah, wedding anniversary!
She just wants me to start building and stop talking about it!

My wife's got the measure of me... a few days before she'll say "I fancy going to so-and-so restaurant for our anniversary - what do you think?".

It's 3 days before my birthday, and I always manage to forget it unless prompted!

David

Well thats it. Anniversary over and I've got her to agree to me getting a MIG.

However, it'll cost me a diamond ring as well

Bo@@ocks!!

Mark

I don't negotiate as such - just when she buys new clothes and things I say very nice, you did the right thing buying that, don't worry about the money etc. The hope is that that way she won't complain about what I spend.

Andy i tried that and it didn't work

The other thing is that my office is filling up with bits of a locost so they don't arrive at home by carrier!! That seems to help too
