Agreed! One of the things that attracted me to my husband was the fact that he could do stuff. He is a typical Kiwi bloke - jack of all trades (master of none). They are a dying breed unfortunately

I know our son will be out in the garage with Daddy very soon learning everything Mike can teach him.

ETA and I think because my Dad is so very capable that I was always on the lookout for someone similar.

Same here.
Mines and accountant - and he is GREAT with his fingers !!!

He's plenty manly for me - if ya get my drift, nudge nudge,

,

But I'm the one that changed his bike sparkplug yesterday. Better change his oil too...

Bloody toe nails let me down

I think you should get extra points for owning a chainsaw......and owning a gun is mandatory these days

Nah-any woman worth her salt wouldn't envy me...and i have a man that kind of likes me

**BiK3RChiK** · 6th March 2009, 15:46

Hahahaha.. Just saw this!

Men fear me!!!! LOL

**Pegasus** · 6th March 2009, 18:15

I got 64, but I haven't timed myself changing a tyre (and havn't had to do it for a while) so I might be cheating giving myself points on that one.

Do I get extra points for working at stockcars? lol

**BuFfY** · 7th March 2009, 12:31

I got 2.5!

Probably the lowest score of everyone on here, awesome.

**Her_C4** · 7th March 2009, 13:37

But but but... I don't WANT to be an honorary bloke!! Can't we ride bikes, fix 'em and do other 'get down and dirty' stuff and still be ladies?

**Sharry** · 7th March 2009, 14:14

After going out with a few guys who were lacking in proper bloke stuff, I decided never to date a guy who didn't have an appreciation of loud things, fast things, dangerous things, or stupid things again.

They're a dying breed for sure!

muchly enjoyed.....The tool thingy blew me way out, I have a metalsmithing/engineering workshop with my business partner... I like the feel of cold hard steel.
P.S. my other half brings me tools for presents. He once came home late with an old 6ft rachet spanner. I don't drive a car, I only drink wild turkey but I did spend today with my arm down a stormwater drain clearing it & got some chaffing from my overalls....oh! & almost had a boob pop out (it's a girlie thing)...

(I don't get out enough)

For some reason that reminds me of the time my Dad fixed my Aunty's lawnmower for her. Mum decided to have some fun with it so they sent it back to her painted a bright colour with polkadots on! My Aunt then decided it would be a good idea to mow her lawn wearing a clown suit!

So you've met my husband then?

He put two cars on their roof in ditches in his younger (stupider) days, so he more than qualifies

Holy toolbox Batman - that's one helluva spanner!
