I think most people flirt as an outlet. We are social creatures and crave human contact, and there comes a point in every relationship that that contact is lessened, so we get it elsewhere. I'm not talking about physical contact only, it is the social contact as well. Like us talking on the forum, it is time out, it is socialising.

I think the point I am trying to make is that it is one form of escape, and I don't believe our partners have the right to try to control that, especially for me as a woman, I work full time, I study occassionally, I have an old fashioned partner who does nothing in the house, so I do it all. After working an 8 hour day, comming home to a couple of hours of housework and cooking, if I choose to talk to some friends on the net rather than fall asleep infront of the TV I believe I have that right, and the right to do that without feeling guilty.

It seems to me that the aim of control is to stop your partner from doing something they enjoy, punishing them.

Hmm , maybe we should swap partners.

Hehehe

My wife does not like the time I spend on here but I say it keeps me stimulated , mentally and socially and beats the hell out of watching the crap on TV.

I have met a whole new circle of people who have my common interest at heart ( cars , Skylines and motorsport ) which beats another round of dinner meets or parties with the same old tired friends.

I will give Liz a call tmrw. Things will look different in the morning. She would be a little upset now, and blow things out of proportion. Early days yet, they will get there!

Yes , she does tend to go into panic quick. Hopefully it will be all OK in the morning.

Does not bode well for the future if they are having these huge fights this early though.

Cheers

Ken it has to be in proportion, that it all. If I was neglecting housework in order to spend time on the net he has a right to be upset, but I only log on if I have time.

He is OK with it now most of the time, but He gets funny when I want to go on cruises or see you in person. I do try to include him, but the truth is I just don't have a good time when he is around. I just have to watch everything I say.

Yep , I know where your coming from. I do all the chores , help with the house work , maintain and clean her car , help with tea etc but just don't enjoy falling asleep in front of the TV any more.

Tried to include her in the motorsport ( Albany when Niz and Paul came down ) but just wasn't that comfortable with it.

Always wondering how she felt , was she having a good time and I couldn't be the usual disgusting flirt I am with her around.

Still as I said , she does trust me though and won't go into panic if I'm late home etc.

Cheers

morning guys...

sounds like there was a bit of controversy last night..

Liz - if you read this, tell your man to ring me and I'll explain to him.. probably also tell him he's being a possessive & insecure git..

rob thats quite possible

but i have learnt to live with it. i trust kylie totally but at first it was hard to see what happens when we go out and then here what happens when she goes out with girls.

a flirty chick with her assests draws alot of attention.

morning all.

Hmmmm...... possessiveness eh?

wonder what that's like?

Actually, I used to go out with a girl who would flirt with everyone, and I used to get upset. But then again, it was probably well founded, as she was a bit of a nympho ****.

how's that for a nice thought for the day!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
