It might just be me but my other half cant understand why i want to be tinkering with cars in this cold weather or at any time. I usually say < just going out to check the oil and water > or < need to lock up the workshop > as my escape code. An hour or more later i appear indoors with a check in code < fancy a cup of tea > Bit between first code and last code i could be doing anything retro wise on the cars ive had. Anyone else subconciously use codes to get outside ?

Lol I'm similar mate. "just popping to the garage" wont be long, and then I'm getting a txt or call saying 'dinners ready' something like 4 hours later aswell. Although this time of year I spend a hell of a lot less time "fettling" around as I suffer from bad circulation, and fiddling with small nuts and bolts with 4 layers of gloves on is pretty difficult

I don't do any actual tinkering in the evenings, but I sometimes feel the need to go out and check how 'paint is drying', or 'GRP is curing'.

Fortunately I'm single and need no such code! Although the downside is I don't get a TXT saying dinners ready

I tend to go out to the garage when most other people are coming in for a cuppa, so I go out when the curse word telly goes on (Holby city, celebrities you havent head of doing stuff etc) usualy about 9pm and come in shortly after I should have gone to bed.

I say i'm just popping to the garage .... Wife just gives me 'that' knowing look..... Then will arrive with a brew about half hour later .....
(Usually accompanied with comments along the lines of ..... "About time you tidied this garage, have you got anything to fix this .... While you're here, can you just ...... "Etc etc
