"Its either you go or the cars go" worked for me early on in the piece and everyone is still here

HaHa , I was sort of like this when i turned 40 , i said , "I don't want a Harley , I just want a mini !".

Mine is pretty good, I'm allowed the cars as long as I don't look at other women.

The Mini featured fairly prominently in our wedding photos, thus guaranteeing it can never be sold. Awesome plan!

My other half loves my mini almost as much as I do. I think that means I have to keep her.

Mr Orange.... A real thinker lol.

Still got both of them Mick but after 16 years they are not as much fun as having your own mini shop!

My explanation to my wife is as follows, I don't drink (alcohol), smoke, gamble, or have another woman. The shed of toys is my hobby and you knew that when you married me. I can also sell my toys when I no longer want them, try finding a buyer for a used cigarette?

I don't need to give a reason. The few times I have suggested selling it met with a most negative reaction. She loves road trips in it, which is why she readily agreed when I suggested our honeymoon to be a road trip to Tasmania for the "two headed Tassie tour" organised by Ballistic back in 2010.
