I use the 'move the decimal point one position to the left' method when I tell the misses how much things have cost

LOL

The wifee's given up asking me. No sooner has one part arrived than another one is on the way

I remember when I had my milltek fitted, week later my mate collected my old exhaust and brough it round - Mrs asked what it was - if she hadnt of seen I would have got away with it.

Overall I dont think she really minds ... well as long as she gets what she wants too!

I dont think I'm the first to use the point move method, can a PRADA handbag really cost £14.99?

I like the "I've had it for ages" excuse my misses comes up with when I know full well its the latest design

Lol so true. Its swings and roundabouts when it comes to this type of stuff. But i usually knock off a couple of pound when telling her how much things cost ;) like she thinks the map and exhaust is only costing £600 next week

Would you care to explain why you know all the latest design's of handbags.  :xmaslaugh:

[gazbutS3]

  I wasn't just refering to handbags as such, it was a sweeping statement

[The wheel man]

If i had the money to spend....   Ã‚£Â£Â£Â£Â£Â£Â£Â£Â£  but as i dont ijm still a modding virgin

I thought it was just me sneaking around and trying to hide the cost from my wife and also living in denial that this is a kind of addiction    In fact I was too embarressed to even mention it on here or golfgti.co.uk just in case you guys thought I was mad. 

I told my wife that my recent visits to JKM only cost £1200 - then it went up to £2000... problem is that I was out working in Hook and then driving to Hurdy's to pick up his Pescaras when she rang and told me that the bank statement had come through and was there anything I wanted to confess before I got an earfull    I feigned ignorance and said I don't know - and then she hit me with the bombshell - WHAT!  Over £5500 spent    and after she'd recovered, she said what time are you getting home as I want something from Blockbusters and Nandos so you can make it up to me    I daren't tell her I was heading to Hurdy in Sheffield instead of Ipswich and wouldn't be back home until after 10pm.  I gave her 'the M25 is very very very busy' spiel.  Suffice to say I left Sheffield at around 8:30pm and got to Ipswich at 10:40pm    Tested those mods out to the max on the way back     Have to say that I gained particular benefit from the Revo Stage 2 Remap and Bilstein Coliover mods than anything else on the way back   

I reckon I've spent over £7k including the BBS CH alloys or almost £8k including Hurdy's Pescaras   

Still haven't learned though - I found myself thinking how I could get the LSD done in a couple of weeks when reading Red Robins write up on them... until I realised that I wouldn't have anything left AT ALL if I did that, not good, not good...  I might scour the garage to fund that purchase or wait till Feb - but that line in his post 'are you ready for your car to be transformed' really got me wanting an LSD RIGHT NOW!

I went to paperless billing and online banking and so any contraband I want to slip under the radar doesn't get picked up
