Sully Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The wife keeps asking me what can she get me because I'm hard to buy for so I'm thinking along the lines of outerwears or any necessary upgrades/ spares I'm lightly to use, I've not completely ran it in yet and she still doesn't know I've got one ! Any ideas or links will be much appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 It's not that I'm scared of telling her I've secretly brought 2 1/5 scale cars, I've deliberately chosen to keep it a secret for the time being!!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's ok, your with friends here, there's no shame in admitting you haven't got the minerals to just tell her straight !!! Although I think asking for hop up's and goodies for a fictitious 5ive, might spoil the surprise element in you plan somewhat dear Sully ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 But that's the thing, she has no concept of or understanding that there is different sized cars. She's already got me a keyboard stand so I work on it and all she's said is....... isn't that a bit big for my car (trophy truggy) I just said it's perfect love thank you.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 There is that golden rule - what goes around, comes around .... wait for those new shoes .... or, perhaps, they've already started and you thought they were from TK Maxx??? !!!

Popular Post SlayerLayer Posted December 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2016 I don't even ask for Christmas presents for rc anymore i always buy myself a nice Christmas present now, if not we just end up asking each other for something and end up sending the same amount of money on each other so defeats the point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2boats Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Haha that's what I do now.. as she's no interest in them at all then she won't buy any. So I just buy them whenever I like for myself, no point in telling her about. Same as all the tools I have in the garage! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Saunders76 Posted December 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2016 My missus knows I have a DBXL + the 5ive T... Both purchased new, and there was no way of sneaking them big ****ers through the house .... What she doesn't know is how much they "really" cost The DBXL (new at £600) "Oh it was in a sale love... only £300" "£300... you knob head.... what you gonna do with it ?" "**** the neighbors off... lol... no, im gonna play with it love" The next conversation was, "so what you buying me then ?" We agreed on Yankee Candles..... The 5iveT "This ones on eBay love its new and well cheap... Im driving down to Telford to collect it Saturday...." "How much is this one?" "...Ummm.....£550..... BUT it should be over £1000..... !!!!" (it was £900 really) "Well I make that 5 Yankee Candles then..." So now if I get anything RC related (and she see's it)... Candles bail me out RESULT ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm fairly certain she will find out about the 5 in the next few days, should be an interesting conversation. Already been down the Yankee candle route but think I'm going to need a change of direction towards pandora for that oneSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Chaps, there is but one, long term solution: an extension and new kitchen, for that amount of spend will cover all RC purchases for many, many years, long after candles have melted and Pandora has lost its shine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 But Pandora cleans them for free in ther machine to shine them back up lol. My Mrs had a charm bracelet since she was 18 we wanted to add to and pass to the girls.. But I've since heard there not that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zannu Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Currently being a teenager, I always used to have to ask my parents to buy me things, but I have had the village paper round from before I got into Rc stuff, so now I don't tell them I have got something until it is too late. My mumn is always trying to say I don;t need more, and that they are all the same, welll as you guys and girls all know, they are not the same, and we always need more. I also do lots of other engineering things, whihc works in my favour as I have a small workshop at the bottom of our garden for all my engineering stuff, suitable to keep my cars out the way and not bother them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
