Every relationship has it's ups and downs and both parties share in them. I
think you must assume the responsibility for this one, however, sir. Mrs.
Jones was trying to tell you (in her own way) that things weren't right
between you somehow. But you, being a typical male and wanting to rush the
relationship along, just didn't listen carefully enough. The little noises
that she issued failed to get your attention, so she had no choice but to
cause a big scene in public. Personally, I don't think she is ready to get
your relationship "down the road" just yet. Take your time with her. Show
her you are willing to make a commitment to a lifetime of motoring mirth by
doing the little things that make all Spitfires happy. Then she will be
like putty (Bondo?) in your hands, willing to take you wherever you want to
go. ;-)
Seriously, though, glad you are ok. Wire wheels are a pain if they aren't
100% right. Short road tests w/o the family is a good idea ( I know you
didn't go far, but like the rest of us, once you got caught up in running
the errands...you pushed it too far). Thanks for sharing the info...who
knows, it may have saved a life. Press on!
