Hi
Here's a sure fire way to curb you purchasing of Miniatures!
Have your wife drive your 4WD with water  ing out of it, and Crack a head!
Instant $7,000.00 USD hole in the wargames budget! |

That or your wife needs to get a second job. |

cheaper to buy a whole motor I think. I am sure the RAMAEE boys could do it as a side project ;) cheers

Hi mate Man I feel for you. |
| nsolomon99 | 16 Sep 2009 4:38 a.m. PST |
Yep, that should just about do it I'd reckon. |
| kreoseus2 | 16 Sep 2009 4:39 a.m. PST |
You could get a new wife for less than that…… |

"That or your wife needs to get a second job." Or a third job, if necessary. |

How about making the 4WD part of her side of the divorce settlement? |
| BigLee | 16 Sep 2009 5:45 a.m. PST |
Ooooo nasty. I'm afraid that (most) women and 4WD's just don't mix well. It's the sort of combo that nearly always ends in a squeel of breaks and crunching sound. |

Oh trailape, I feel your financial pain. Ouch. Hope you're able to recover from it quickly and effectively. All the best.

Such is life!
She didn't do on purpose.
She compensates in other ways,…
And yes, it's a new engine for the Jackaroo, (hence $7K).
There are people much worse off, so me no complain. |

No, I've been there kreosues2, it will be much, much more expensive to do that. In fact, you'll be selling minis off for food and shelter most likely.
What a bummer, trailape. |

Trust me, the old song has it right, "It's cheaper to keep her." ;) |

When we were first married, my wife and I were talking about cars. It got on the subject of idiot lights. This a direct quote from my wife, "You mean you should stop right away if one those lights come, Surley you have enough time to drive to a service center." My response was a resounding "NO". I guess she listened, one of the few times.

Good Gosh, a crate 350 should only run about $4,000.00. What type engine do you have? |
| Jovian1 | 16 Sep 2009 8:30 a.m. PST |
Man – sounds like an expensive proposition – what else on the vehicle went when she cracked the head? Did it throw a rod, sheer the transmission, burn up an expensive computer system? |
| tchristney | 16 Sep 2009 12:23 p.m. PST |
$7,000 USD seems way too much. Do you have titanium heads on there or something? Not trying to minimize your pain, I'd just hate to see you screwed twice. |
| trailape | 16 Sep 2009 4:14 p.m. PST |
Hi
No, $7,000.00 USD AUD isn't to much for a new engine.
Also Radiator, and I'll get the Aircon re-gassed while the engine is out,..
It all adds up.
And yes, keeping the missus is cheaper, (I'm up to number 3 now).
I don't keep them past 30 yrs of age,…
This ones only got two more years and it's the boot for her. |
| Theword | 16 Sep 2009 4:48 p.m. PST |
Haha.. is the couch comfortable mate? ; ) TW. |

As an insurance appraiser if the water went up to or over the dash the vehicle should be a total loss . If she just drove through some deep water and the intake sucked in water , get aUsed engine . |

You're actually taking this quite well. I'd be trying to figure out where to bury the body by now. |
| evilgong | 17 Sep 2009 1:44 a.m. PST |
To take your mind off it all you need to go and buy some hussars or something. regards David b |

"You're actually taking this quite well".
Well, it was an accident, and I guess it could happen to anyone. |
| trailape | 17 Sep 2009 4:44 a.m. PST |
"To take your mind off it all you need to go and buy some hussars or something" Ummmm,… see thread tital.
;o)
Fortunatly I have some "stockpiles" to work on.
