        Awwwww a whinge thread about not having "me time".



        At least you have the drive to and from work for some time alone.

        What is this thing called "me time" anyway????

        I have a two year old and a 10 month old who are little tornados which leave a trail of disaster wherever they go. A household to run and maintain, food to prepare, an AWOL husband out at work or in the garage with the RS2 and all of the family/friend dramas to deal with, birthdays to sort etc etc.

        Wouldn't have it any other way though. Just part of life.

          We all go through this. Believe me. It's difficult finding time when you've got family, a house, other cars . Im going on eight years now on my project. Take your time and do the job right. I've gone through several stages when I had to use money elsewhere...it's tough, but eventually I get enough money together to buy something for the project. Quality projects take time.

                  Lee, as you know well my Lotus fitted with ABZ 4.2 Audi Engine, 2 years to complete, should have been months not years, Christ Debbie nearly left me twice, I was out in the dark snowing and welding engine mounts together, god it drove me crackers! Everyone needs time out, A year ago I had my Clay Shooting / Rabbit / Pheasant Shoot and now all i've got my 3/4 finished s2, no rifle not been clay shooting in 4 months and lost a use of car / sold 4x4 and Dark nights conming in..not enough time. Find out what you want to do and do it, if its audi then there's all the support on this forum you could ever need !

                      This thread has cheered me up... lots of us in the same boat... a 'life' boat of sorts - choppy seas and high winds for much of the journey recently. When will someone ever invent the time machine anyway... Keep the old hip flask topped up with Cappin Morgans finest rum to keep ye in fine fettle and be sure to have the attention of a good woman (or two) to keep the blues away.

                              Ahah yeah, the other week was crazy !! I think Ross got back sometime after 4am. Now that's showing passion....

                              I'm not going to lie, after a long day with the kids and no husband in the evening is horrible. But it was all worth it in the end. The RS2 is so much more smooth and when Ross shifts into 3rd gear and lets it accelerate, I get thrown back into my seat and which provides a firm reminder that all the time and money was not wasted. Especially when I see the look of elation on my 2 year old's face when we go out for a "drive". He loves going out in the "race car".

                              Someone very wise once said: When you get to the end of your rope, tie a big knot and hang on. Too true.

                                Wow my partner absolutely hates me doing that, maybe it was the time I deliberately waited till she was eating a scotch egg and hit the throttle up the hill
                                Cost me that did

                                Profound words at the end, Ross must have rope burn
