I wonder how many women have broken a nail scratching their head trying to work out how to get the petrol cap off

You know you have lost your love for cars, when you spend more time asking the Salesman about the Residual Value, than the BHP.

Or suddenly realising that the steering wheel turns more than five degrees.

Opening a car bonnet to see what is under it has never fascinated me-undoing a bra strap however.........oh do shut up Stephan you are too old.

Re: Why Are Some Men Obsessed With Cars And Engines?

I have to admit, l did feel a bit useless yesterday when l tried to open the bonnet of the car! I found the bit you pull in the driver's area to release the bonnet but could l get the bonnet up? I kept sliding my hand under the bonnet trying to find the bit to open the bonnet, it must've taken me five minutes!
It was a eureka moment when l did!

Yes i used to often lift the bonnet, wrap your pie you got in your bait in tinfoil and place on the engine block. By the time you got to the next job, lovely warm morsel.

Mind yo no one has mentioned why blokes buy cars. Chick magnet innit. Didnt work with my VW Polo mind.

I'm not! In fact, l'd choose drooling over an engine than be obsessed with those!
Now if you said, obsessed with diamonds, then that's a different story!
