Paddy78 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I had the no car parts rule imposed this Christmas too. You basically need to sulk and make a fuss until the rule is overturned! I think I've managed to wangle some ARB's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 In fairness to Elin my fiancee, the handbrake and the bucket seat were both surprises after I'd sulked about the no car parts rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Vix Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 If we had a no car parts rule me and Mike would never get each other anything! lol For past birthdays and xmas' I've had a satnav, samco hoses, my GTCs acid dipped for their refurb, a metal polishing kit, even got carbon goodies for my 30th lol I've got Mike carbon goodies for the supra and lots of shiny bits (including custom made battery cover), gave him the money this year for a bike track day and the day before he was due to book it he tore his achillies so that went on car bits too lol People did think he was nuts (and me for wanting one) for giving me a metal polishing kit, but at the end of the day its what I wanted and it does get used, so its not a waste like it would be if I got non-car stuff which "normal" people want.
