Girlfriend drove my 2 last night

Post by xanthus400 »

ok so ive got to let the good lady have my 2 for the day as i have to take her Corsa to get mot'd. My god have i never been so scared in my life!!!! Let her drive it last night and it felt weird being in the passenger seat but then the crunching gears and over revs came in. But thought hey shes just gotta get used to it. However suddenly she turned into a monster, road rage with an old lady (ok her driving was a bit naff to say the least),then she trys to turn into on coming traffic and possibly going through a stop light camera. im dreading next friday :shock: 8-[

Sounds like she's a better driver than Aaron ;)

I only let my dad use my MR2 once and that was because I needed it MOT'd while I was working (re-test) He was the only person to ever have a go of it on the road.

My GF wants to drive the 330, but she drives a Puma. They're so tiny in comparisson I'm not sure she'd cope with the sheer size of mine. I've driven bigger cars than mine many a time and found them easier. Dunno what it is, think it's just lack of view of the far regions of the car and quite a long wheel base.

My financee wouldnt drive my 350 after i let her drive it around an industrial estate, dont know why but i think she was scared of damaging it. She had no problems cruising around loughborough on her lunch break though giving lifts to everyone in my old Z4 though with the top down.

Hahahah

I let mine drive the 2 whenever she wanted.... she tended not to really. But i remmeber her driving my black one and giving it full beans quite a bit to hear the dump valve.... i also had her racing fools around. That was quite funny!

She was wayyyyy to scared of the Subaru for some reason, even though it was mega easy.

She wont touch my BMW for some reason, apparenlty SMG confuses her....... i think she is borderline retarded.

She is generally ok with a car, no real fear as such. Needs to be a little bit smoother, but on the whole, not bad!

Impreza and 3 series are both quite a bit bigger than an Mr2, perhaps she has largecarophobia?

My girlfriend loves that I treat her with the utmost respect and wouldnt hang around long at all if I was nasty.
