Okay I know there are a number of you out their.
But who has a partner that is basically jealous of the time you spend in here or on your Mini.
My wife has said a number of times. .She's a Ausmini widow.
This Morning I got a call at 10am, (While she was still in bed)Yer woke her)) to give a hand to pull an engine. I went to get change into work gear and she said "are you going to help and work on a mini "

I guess I maybe Obsessive Compulsive as I have done this with Soccer, Cycling and Work

What other grief have you received from your partner about Mini obsession

I get this from my sister, not my parents.
Shes always on to me about "Why are you always on ausmini or driving your mini or with your mini mates."
and "Why do you spend all your money on your bloody mini"

Gafmo, sorry if I caused you grief..
Yeah I get the same story..
Funny thing is, both our wives have Minis too! But..... do THEY work on them? Nooooooooooooo!

dont they know that spending time on ausmini increases knowledge about minis
and spending time on a mini increases reliability on their minis they drive themselves?

lucky for me ive no one to be jealous of you guys or Herman... and i think it'll stay that way

Suprisingly, i don't get much grief at all . I used to race radio controlled touring cars and that nearly cost me my relationship......... much more money frequently than Slidey has cost me since i've owned him, so i'm very happy cos i can chill and chat to my peeps on Ausmini all i want, get to work on Slidey as much as i want and life is good

I got nuthin......................

When I bought mine she asked me "So, have you made a list of what needs to be fixed?" Only allowed to work on it on the weekends though. Would also be a whole lot easier if I had a bloody garage!!!!!

With regards to this forum... last night she called me addicted.

i hear you Marvin. if i had a garage i would spend more time there than on this forum, for which i am told that i am "obsessed".

i plead guilty your honour. but i still play soccer as well.

It was a pleasure ausmini. I'll miss all you misfits and reprobates

I have a lady friend, but she as yet has no input in regards to mini topics........Its my domain and mine only.

Except when buying me mini models as presents OR parts.....sometimes i get them as presents
