To sell or not to sell - Why must i face the question????

[NickyG]

looks like the decision is made :D

I have been in the same situation several times in the last few years. I must have said 20 times i am going to sell my wb. The funds are needed else where. Heidi says every time not to do it. You will regret it, and the funds are not really enough to make a difference anyway. Plus you will never find another one as good. So in my world its the Mrs that keeps my old ute at home.

As stupid as it is, its part of who I am and she is awesome enough to let me be who I am. to mrswb and all the other great women like her.

Very well said fella's, pretty much sum's it all up. They are keeper's.

This reminds me of something I saw on Australian Story on the ABC many years ago. An old chap had owned a monaro of some description for many years. He called her 'Marilyn'. His wife wanted to go on a holiday to England. She collected dolls. To appease his wife, he sold Marilyn. The look on his face as the new owner drove Marilyn away is something I won't forget. And I bet his wife still has her dolls ...

My wife is quite content for my ute to sit in the shed = I am very happy with my wife

hope the decision was to keep it! ur wifey speaks wise words been going thru similar with my partner, though the car in question is a gtr!! but its his pride and joy. even been helping him with some cash to help get it back on track. he is going to help me with my pano! but thers no way hes going to sell that car of his. that would absolutely break him. and to buy another would cost way more than what his cost, and the money spent so far to get it to how he wants, couldnt buy it again.

I saw that story too, wasn't it was the same Monaro that was hanging over the end the Tasman Bridge when it collapsed? The old fella was heartbroken when it was driven away :(

[Nigelk777]

I don't think they're the same cars. Last I heard was that the Monaro that was hanging off the edge of the Tas bridge was still with its original owner. I think the guy who owned Marilyn lived on the mainland somewhere, but I might be wrong. Nige

PS: my 4yo insists that I post this - kids!

I have wanted to restore a car for many years and had been looking half serioulsy for 18 months at Sandman utes. At Christmas time last year wifey says "get it out of your system" with a couple of appropriate emphasis words, so here goes. Some of us are lucky to have the support.

That is amazing! I have seen the pics before but didnt realise it was a hq monaro.

I dont know about anyone else but I would have been looking for a new pair of grundies after parking my car on a bridge at road speed like that!
