Discovered how to get the tv all to myself over the last few weeks which is harder that you would think with 2 teenaged daughters and a wife in the same house , male tv shows are a dying breed on our tv although i wouldnt suggest trying my method the earbashing and bruises just arent worth it the following steps are how i managed to reclaim my TV
1. First buy a GK 2.6 turbo off a mate without asking or even mentioning it to her first while already having 7 cars in the yard (only 2 were running)
2. Proceed to explain to her why it was such a good deal for the price (scorp disc rear end jap 5-speed excellent motor) while skipping over the stuffed turbo and changing the subject when she asks "why is it smoking"
3. Blame all the fresh burnouts on the driveway and at the end of the street on " A MATE" that stopped in while she was out shopping while trying not to grin like an idiot and failing
4. Invent reasons to "just duck down to the shops" at 2 am when its nice and cold
5. Wake her up at 3am after "just ducking down to the shops" by limping home with a blown head gasket and telling her to come outside in her nighty to help cool the car down
6.Use towles found in back of linen cupboard as rags while pulling down motor (guys towles with dolphins printed on them and wrapped in plastic are NOT rags no matter where you find them)
7. Turn a $20 headgasket replacement into a rebuilt M4 head , 2xheadgaskets , 1.6mm steelshim , ARP head stud kit , inlet manifold modified , some new tools because the old ones are crap , full rebuild of the T04B + some mods , balance shaft eliminator kit , and then theres the incidentals like fluids filters and stuff
8.Try to explain that the savings missing from the bank that were put away for a "rainy day" (saying " i swear it was pissing down at the time honey" will get you slapped) must have been stolen by dodgy bank tellers and all the new shiny parts for the sigma are just a coincidence
9.Start a HUGE fight by saying that the new parts for the sigma are WAYYYYY more important than replacing the bald tires on HER car
10.End the fight by agreeing to her demand that you sleep on the couch.
11. Announce to the family that your going to bed early and that you have decided to sleep naked
12.Giggle like an idiot while teenaged daughters run away screaming and probably mentally scarred for life( its what therapy is for after all)
13.Grab TV remote relax and watch anything that isnt a bloody teen drama show secure in the knowledge that you will not be disturbed by the kids (to fearfull to come into loungeroom just incase you were serious about sleeping naked) or Wife (to pissed off to even look at you)
And when you read this honey as soon as the bruises and swelling go down i will put those new tires on you car

Re: How to get the TV to yourself using a sigma
You are right about male TV shows being a dying breed, but this is only because 99% of the advertising on TV is aimed at women, so the shows have to be aimed at women.
Apart from the odd Supercheap add and a couple of beer adds the advertising dollar is aimed at chicks. Why do you think that they put camera's in the change rooms for TV football (Rugby League). The players didnt want them, the clubs didnt want them, but the League and the TV network have them installed to attract more women to the broardcast, and therefore more advertising.
League would not survived on beer adds alone.

Well put, i love the idea i might try it here 

Re: How to get the TV to yourself using a sigma
Or you could stay single plenty more time n money to spend on or with your cars and if u really want someone to cuddle up to theres a asian guy in ever city ready to sell you his cousin or sister for an hour. Ends up alot cheaper and easier in the long run plus the only dates you have to remember anually then are rego and tax as opposed to anniversaries, birthdays and all that crap.
Or the even better way find a gf that likes cars and the fact that your spending all this money on it so she rides around in a stylish car its working for me atm

or a second tv in the shed or spare room would have saved a heap of trouble but fixing up cars with new shiny bits is so well worth it. lol

If you'd have bought a TV earlier you wouldn't have any kids to worry about. lol.
Your method takes a lot of planning, but does seem very effective.
I like it.

Get a multimedia center for your car that has built in digital tv
that way you can take your beast out for a burn to a remote spot watch some telly or a dvd waiting for her to cool down then thrash the pants off your car
