strong and stable with me, or...
I thought this was going to be a thread about the best cars for making love in?
Because I'd like her to actually do something for herself for a change instead of relying on me?
I get quite a lot of phone calls from her along the lines of "what does it mean if......?" and "what happens when I do......?"
I've been trying to teach her the basics but nothing has sunken in obviously. So this should just be another thing to add to the already long list of stuff that I already do for her then?
Not trying to sound patronising in any way but it would be helpful if she even had just a little bit of enthusiasm to things and learn for herself rather than relying on me. Not too much to ask is it? I've got enough to look after without pandering to her all the time thanks.
I think you've got the wrong message board mate. You want Top Gear or Men & Motors or such like.
Quite why you'd come on here and share, in great detail, the lack of respect you have for your partner with a bunch of strangers who happen to support the same footie team you do is beyond me. She might not be an expert in car maintenance but she has my sympathy.

How did you pass your test
Shouldn't be on the road then.
To be fair, 'I think you've got the wrong message board mate' could be construed as advice.Get a grip, he came on here for advise.
What test?
Maybe he's not being particularly seriousQuite why you'd come on here and share, in great detail, the lack of respect you have for your partner with a bunch of strangers who happen to support the same footie team you do is beyond me.

Driving test
Apparently so. They want us to be sober when driving too. How we're now supposed to get the courage to take to the road in the first place I have no idea.Interesting concept, is this a new EU thing?

The car was towed to my work last night so she dropped me off in my car at 6.30 so I could get the sump plug out and drain the oil out before I started work.
Was a pig of a job as had to use mole grips to undo it but it did come off. She'd over filled it by 1.5 litres.
I left it all morning draining and re filled with oil at lunchtime. A bit smoky for a bit but managed a trip to Crawley and back this evening without any issues and no plumes of smoke out the back.
Think we've got away with it.
From now on I'm going to stop trying to teach her about these things and look after it myself.
Why do some women say they love their car, but don't pay attention to it and then bitch and moan when it breaks down? I know modern cars have all kinds of systems to alert you to possible issues but paying it attention every now and then will help spot issues before they become serious!
From now on I will be checking her car over but it annoys me. A car is usually the second most expensive purchase you will make except for a mortgage. Bloody look after it!
Rant over.
I needed a new wiper blade so went to halfords. I could not fit it myself so asked for help. You can guess how embarrassed I felt when a young lady changed it for me. She did have a very nice bottom which made up for it.
This morning I went to fill up. Driver in front of me was all over the road hesitating then pulled in to the garage. Women got out. Guess what she was driving with an icy windscreen and was manging to drive by looking through a little clear bit at the bottom of her windscreen. I couldn't believe it. Women is going to have a serious accident one day. How can people be so stupid.
It was dark
It was wet
It was windy
It took me 20 minutes
It took the skin off the back of my hand
I swore. A lot.
But in the end, I still felt like a MAN.
Get a grip, he came on here for advise.
I'm always checking mine and playing and fiddling with it. I've been tuning mine for 18 months (when funds allow) and got from 225bhp to 290bhp. Just need a 3" downpipe and sports cat then I can change map and should hit the magic 320bhp. But that's a different story...
I've still got the hump with her at the minute.
Tunes up boy racer type car but can't help your good lady maintain her 13 year old Astra.
