It's normal to have VW car parts in your lounge room - isn't it !!
Hi all,
my wife seems to have a problem with my car parts in the downstairs rumpus room and I think it's quite ok as we hardly use this room. it's also the
safest place for them at this time. The pool table came in very handy and is just the right size for the doors.
What's your thought and add photos if you have any 
Or is this just a guy thing 
Kev

I think she would be happier if you were to hang those larger panels on the walls, that way it is not so cluttered and the pool table is still able to
be used.
Either that or put a lock on the door to keep her out!
Cheers Dave

Looks like you've done everything correctly, Kev - nice soft covers down, so the paint won't get damaged. No, that's looks fine to me.
Cheers, Greg

It's completely normal (for a given definition of the word "normal").
BTW, have you considered that this possibly isn't the best place to get an objective opinion on the topic?

 Why do you think I asked on here.
Hellbugged, I love the coffee table made from wheels and tyres, plus you need to keep an eye on them for safety. And the added bonus that the kids
also enjoy veedubbing.

Down here in Geelong, there is no other lounge room that can compete with "Hanks" from glass cabinets full of model vws to a cut down vw engine
that was once a classroom display still on a full sized vw engine stand, & thats only the lounge room!! but I kid you not, Hank is a VW

Years ago I was after a dodge 400 v8 and a friend of a mate put me onto a chrysler fanatic.
Rang him,he had one in bits:
crank,conrods etc ; kitchen table
heads sump valley ; laundry trough
block ; in the bath with a gallon of kero
Perfectly normal ?
Mind you,he was single.

Hey Kev, how long before you get the doors on?.......I could use that pool table - just the thing for the 8 ball.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I couldn't believe my wife when we were at H's house warming. His house is a side section of the BIG shed and Donna thought it was very cool, not

Hi Kev
I had the heads off My engine at one time , and put My engine back together in My [Our] dining room...
I think the reason for that , mainly, it may have been winter...
??
but I did put newspaper on the floor first... lol
I have lots of parts in a spare bedroom and the computer room...
but it seems the dining room is now off limits as far as VWs go
lol
and the worst part is She Keeps cleaning up the "MESS"
which makes finding parts very difficult...l:ol:
Lee
PS: Kev - no holes for a VW badge on the bonnet?? and No Wolfsburg crest??? I love those... Lee

Not sure what to make of that, Paul? Is it a pool table, or are you just bragging?
