"Hi........my name is Mike.........and I have a parts addiction". (Background noise foot shuffling /greeting "hello Mike").
"Like many of you, it started out with small things, a dime bag of parts here, an extra shock there. Then I started needing more, soon it was all I could think of".
I cannot seem to stop buying spare parts I don't need........yesterday I picked up yet four more TC aluminum wheels.
If there is a Betty Ford for drugs and drink...................how about a Henry Ford for parts addiction?

You want to see my workshop Mike, there's so much stuff that when we moved house back in 2005 I was finding stuff I didn't even realise I had....
(but now, with a bigger workshop it's all in cupboards/shelves and even some cupboards are labelled !!!)

I think I may be suffering from the same affliction. As I pour through parts catalogs or ebay I find myself trying to justify the purchase of parts that I don't need. I'm not a man of money either, and perhaps it's just as well. Otherwise I'd have a garage filled with enough spare parts to build another car. I need a throttle cable and tie rod ends for my car so I spent a couple of quality evenings this weekend in the garage snuggled up with the Dave Bean catalog. The list is currently 14 items and growing. I love the Dave Bean catalog but I think it was created by the devil >:D

So your Bean catalog is not on your nightstand? Really?
