I have to take exception to almost all these comments about "appeasing the
little woman." My husband and I are the CO-owners of our 65B and we *both*
make decisions about which parts come next, which new tool we need, what
color to paint it, etc...
A bed in the garage? Trade in the wife on a new model? LET HER NAME IT OR
NAME IT AFTER HER MOTHER???
Just HOW chauvenistic (sp?) can you get?
Not ALL of us "MG wives" detest and/or disapprove of MGs. If you have a
*true* marriage partnership, none of this discussion would be taking place
on this list; you and your partner would work things out ON YOUR OWN
without bringing all these people on an email list into your private lives
about what is, in reality, a lump of metal with four bits of rubber on the
corners.
Excuse my vent. Rant over.
