I had to get rid of some other junk in there so I store it in there. is it just me or is there others that are as bad as I am. (funny thing is its gonna get worse before it gets better.) gonna have intake manifold & aps piping to contend with soon after we replace it. this isnt to mention the rear end of my other exhaust & other sub box ive got stashed at work. I love it. thank god I own the place. any stories of your car movin in with ya & takin over the place!!!

I have two DVD stands full of Car related dvd's - plus more in the entertainment unit...At my mates wedding the other week, we (myself and the Groom) actually managed to start talking about cars and how we are going to hit the drag strip again soon, just before he had to go and stand at the altar! :bigbdaygrin: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50352-might-have-an-obsession-more-car-than-a-house/#findComment-744508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my stock piping and gear is at her place all the rest including tools is at mine.The best advice I was ever given about have cars as your passion is, dont let it get in between you and the misus....
