Join the club, lol! ;-)
I've been to r-tech twice in July this year,1st time I told her the cooker needs a service so I left home well early & the second time I told her the extractor fan is f@@ked & I left home early again...back in June I went for the H&R groupbuy from APS,I told the misses the potato peeler is F@@ked so I left home early....start of July I told the misses that the gas metre needs changing but in reality I went right up to haydock for the BCS powervalve..cut it short,I'm running out of lies man
Well stop lying to her and Man Up, tell her how it is and tell her how you spend your money 
Nah, never gonna happen, the grief, stares, sex-ban and emotional guilt trip she will offer up ain't worth it
Tell her your going to look at a new Range from a new supplier!, there you go another excuse!
I'm in her black book since early last year mate....i brought a unused supercharger kit in nov10..the wait was too long so I offered to pay for her holiday last year so she went away for two weeks back in jan11,fitted it while she was away on holiday
Jeez, you sound like your whipped!
Been there done that, got rid of her! 
Hey mate,what's the score with the tamiya rc cars ??i used to love them..had quite a few bk in the good old days
Tamiya have already or plan to re-release most of them
, That's great news for the 30-40 somethings to relive their youth but not so great for the serious collector of the old "Vintage" versions (I don't collect them anymore myself, sold all mine 5.5 years ago and bought a GTI 1.8T with the money, it was getting silly having 35+ RC cars in my basement
). At one point between Tamiya and Kyosho I had over 60 RC buggies
, I have 2 left now!.
Both of my first Tamiya RC cars have been re-released in one form or another, Sand Scorcher and Terra Scorcher (Thundershot/Firedragon).
I sold all my more expensive RC cars to collectors who would appreciate them and put them in glass cabinets rather than shove £250 of brushless motor and Lipo pack in them and thrash them to within and inch of their life.
I collected mostly Avante's (Vanquish x 3, Avante x 8, Egress x 5 and Avante 2001 x 2) and Top Force Evolution's x 17, I did have a soft spot for them
They all got sold and bought me a car and 3 Snowboarding holidays
Still have a few RC planes in storage (not used for 2 years) including a brushless powered beast that does over 150mph
(one of the lads timed it with a radar gun it was 10ft off the ground running parrallel to us at the time
) it's a nightmare to fly coz it's so small, it gets out of sight quickly at that speed!. I much prefer flying the 3D plane (Precision Aerobatics Addiction 3D), great for prop hanging and flicking around, tail dragging etc, good fun and not fast!
