Default What the....

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??? :

Trust me, zipties go with ESeries. AU's have ugliness denial (along with Fibreglass and Carbon Fibre "makeup" addiction).


For the record, BA's have ego's an elitist issues... :

If you try hard enough, you may be able to buy all the e-series off the road (similar to greenmachine and neeek's ZH farm concept)

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 ;)).

I have no choice but to be tolerant, wouldn't be married still if I wasn't. Just can't wait for the big shed to be built so all the cars can be hidden away. We have enough cars in the yard to be able to drive a different one everyday........just ridiculous.

Convince her that there is actually only one e-series and she needs her eyes tested (similar to Rocky4.. Rocky: I see three of him out there! Pauly: Hit the one in the middle!).

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.
