Guidelines for Living with a Land Rover and a Partner

These guidelines may help:-

1. Look confused when she asks you why you need Mud Sliders - explain this
is for safety and not a toy
2. When she discovers you on E-bay late at night looking for parts, assure
her that at least it is not another woman
3. When the the towel gets oil on it, assure her that Persil gets oil out
these days.
4. Carburettors are very valuable and that's why you must dismantle it on
the kitchen table and you need to be near the sink. You are saving lots of
money doing it yourself and that keeps her in jeans, handbags and "shoes."
5. Land Rovers will continue to grumble roughly once a month - not much
difference there
6. When you start a job on the Land Rover it will take you longer that what
you think, if she asks you to do shopping, wallpapering - then say that you
are really sorry but this urgent job on your Landie will take time.
7. A welder is needed - tell her to get over it.


You have to realise to understand a Land Rover you can buy a manual, get a
friend round, post to this newsgroup - there is no such manual for women.

Well you're on your way. Your collection of assorted washers et al is
nowhere near a match for what Charlotte carries in her handbag.

Totally fecked if I ever need owt in a hurry though, by the time she
finds anything in there it'd be quicker to nip down to Sodbury

8. You really need 2 Land Rovers - one to go and get the spares for the
other one.

No, women tend to need more hands-on experience....

That's because we're all unique.

A lifetime to master one, but fun to tinker with.

Yep, that sounds like Land Rovers to me
