Do you trust your missus with the GTI?

Let her(being the wife)drive it once with me pass,but after just 3 or so miles she pulled in saying "im not comfortable with you constantly watchin what im doing,and moaning about every hole or dent in the road i dont miss"lmao she doesnt want to dive it now result job done,although i drive her 1 series msport if we do go anywhere together.

I let mine drive it for the first time last night and she loves it but is scared of it haha first quick car she's driven although she's only 21 ha she likes the ITG noise so she's constantly wanting to floor it! Just need to keep an eye on her though

My wife is a good driver, she's never had an accident...............but has seen a lot in the rear view mirror!

....You must teach her that she has no need to keep rearranging her hair or checking out her make-up.

....With my 'Dad'* hat on, she needs to be very careful - She may benefit hugely from a course in roadcraft or a day with John Cave at Drivetrain (in your car) which teaches roadcraft and high performance car driving - He's a top notch Police Instructor. It's a matter of learning both your vehicle's limits and your own limits.

* I am a 'Dad' who doesn't drive like a granny as many here will testify.

Having done the Drivetrain course myself, I apply what I have learnt to every vehicle I drive and am not phased by driving much higher performance cars than my own. Remapping your driving brain is the best mod you can do.

Have Fun but Safe Journeys.

Yeah I'm trying to get her to do some driving courses for her own good but she's proving hard to convince! She only drives it when I'm with her so I keep an eye on her

[Andy]

it not the g/f i have trouble with driving mine as she is very careful with it on the odd time she has borrowed it--its the places she goes ie tescos or the schools runs when people just bash your car

[andy redz]

Girl friends as careful as me, she knows I'll go mad otherwise

I didn't trust the ex with our old shadow blue. The diamond cut Monza's were regularly used inconjunction with the kerb as a secondary braking system. She was known on here as 'The Kerbinator'. 

It broke my heart every time she came in all sheeepish, being suspiciously nice to me. I'd say: "You've kerbed it again, haven't you?" She was very fit with blond hair and a cracking set of cans, so she usually got away with it!

^^^^ The Kerbinator, brilliant, I love that 

Have a mental image of your ex misses looking like Arnie but with long blonde hair and big love jubblies. Scary image

My Mrs' has been insured on my car for a few years now, was on my old Audi TT 225, on my Derv Bora & now on my GTi, tbh honest she avoids pot holes and speed bumps so thats a result but she seems to enjoy the noise from the exhaust a little to much. if somethings to happen its insured I guess doh!!

it has been known that she beat me at go karting a few months back and beat a few of my mates too lol

One word answer:

No 

[MikeA]

My other half drives our ED30 or as she puts it "her car". Think thats because i sold her Fabia Vrs to buy it!!!!!

[rjc]

No chance, that's why she has got her own car, it can fight with as many kerbs as she wants.
