Hello Bill, <snip> Bill; I think most of us see this as a serious issue, but IMHO, any significant other who likes Morris Minors is a real keeper. I know there are a lot of things I do that really pe

Some years back a neighbor asked my wife how she put up with me always working on old cars in the garage, her reply was very quick, it's much better than a bar stool and lip stick on the collar, says

My wife thinks the perfect compromise would be for me to sell the 3A and the 6 and get a Stag. Just to tip the scales to 55/45 however, she says it would have to be an automatic:-(. From what you say
