How many cars in our yard does it take to become a car yard? As I look out the window now including the ones in the garage there are 10 bloody E series fords and to make it worse only 3 of them are 6 cylinders.
Is my house a car yard or is this steadily going to get worse??? : |

At least they are all E-Series! You must be very tolerent Mrs Stroker. MY missus got cranky at me for having 5 E-Series in the yard. I am now down to 3 and she is still getting up me. I'm actually gonna get rid of two of them(to get cash to buy more ;)).

Still, I tip my hat! I should show my wife this thread so she understands a little better. You don't sell cars, you buy a bigger shed!

I just worked out that rego alone is $144 a week. That's a fair wad of cash. How is it that you have E-Series AND money to spend. I can't seem to get those 2 things to work together.
