Hey guys.
Rustinggracefully got me thinking.. Many of us holden nerds would love to have as many cars as we can cram into our yard. I have 4, rustinggracefully has 13! Id love to score a monaro or an SLR 5000, to add to the sandmans and the statesman. Maybe then id feel complete.. Maybe, but with two mortgages, house renos and a baby daughter, its hard to convince the other half I should add to my collections of cars that 'already don't work'. She's understanding and supportive, but practical. Like girls are. Just wondering how everyone else goes with this. There must be some great stories out there..

My girls great. Cos I got too many cars she helps me with them, and so do both her daughters. Both who are better at working on cars than a lot of young guys I've seen. They all enjoy motorsport.
Plus got a 2 1/2 yo boy that can pick out a blown engine

The scary thing is that my girlfriend trusts my judgement when it comes to cars. She has never had a license, and is happy as long as the car I drive her around in moves and has good music on the stereo. She doesn't mind me bringing home more cars (brough

Id kill for a shed like thats. I think that part of the problem. I have 2 cars at my sisters place, one at a mates place in ringwood, and another outside the house in ballarat. First thing she usually says is 'and where the hell are you going to put it?"

The rest are all projects. One is currently under complete restoration and I pretty much have all the parts to finish the others but I've only been able to justify working on th
