Every time I read a comment about the 'Misses Permission'
Mephious one liner always comes to mind,

'It easier to ask for forgiveness, than to ask for permission'

Thats Gold

i like that rule, but seeing im not married to her yet, i play the "why bother to tell the misses at all" game. Now is there some way i can massage the fact that when she meet me five years ago i only had two cars, now when she moves in my garage accidently is hiding seven??

Do i just keep the garage closed? tell her is my domain?

Ratbox, i love the suggestive selling, i wonder if jacko wants fries with that.

Now my turn.... Ratbox.. you still want patina the fe right....

Dont remember posting that quote Thommo but I impressed myself the other week ............

Feb 12 - noticed Pen's post on the FE - FC holden forum for V8 conversion kit ( all the parts remaining to complete the V8 set-up in the van ... had brakes , chassis, diff and gearbox sorted ).

Hmmm how to slip this past the missus with the current work on the sedan and van .....

Feb 14 - Valentines Day !!!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm , a new addition to the family maybe ??

Feb 16 - Says to missus whilst shes holding the pup "found a bargain" the most important words to use on the missus .... all the V8 gear I need for the van. Reply "Go for it" ....... I tell her " Also Gino (mechanic) is selling a cheap (nother important word) SBC ". Reply "isnt he cute (the pup) !!! Yeah you should get that motor "

Dont think it will be this easy once we get married so making the most of it.

P.S Sorry for the Hi-jack !!

Very nice lineup indeed, Steve.

Maybe if you keep them all together in the dark and provide some "mood" music - you may need to re-count after a gestation period.................

thanks for you post - very impressed.

frats,
Rosco

Steve love seeing that 'Fleet'. Remember driving the ute circa 1993-94 had a nice exhaust note. Also remember driving the van down to Batemans Bay nationals 1996. Good to see that something is happening with that FB standard. It deserves it

Thanks Tayz, the green sedan is the one you helped me with (Kim from Hillside Sydnham). I still owe you one!

Hey Rosco, thanks for the compliment. I do need one more. Maybe a Van .. FB ... Purple....

Hey Sunny Mick, I do recall. Hope the Ute still sounds the same. Hasn't been started for years. Yes, Batemans Bay. First time I didn't drive an FB to the Nats. I drove my new Baby Daughter in a BMW with Donna. All three of my Honey Beige FB's were there. Which reminds me I need to put up some more archive Nats pics. I saw all the Batemans Bay pics the other day.
