Guest Garfy Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 its not a problem, to be honest its probably safer in her hands, she doesn't drive it as fast as i do, also she drives a turbo MX5 when she isn't driving the supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 happened a couple of times with Jane and I, but in my MkIII. She's only 4' 10" so it was a wee bit daunting for her but she managed it. Passers by must have thought I was being driven home by Thing from The Adams Family as I'm sure the only bit of her they could see was her fingers on the steering wheel.

dangerous brain Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I don't get the problem dude? My mr's's have always been as competent drivers as I've ever been. Yeah they never drive with the swiftness or mental attention I do but I've yet to be in a near miss with any of them let alone an accident, hand on heart I cannot say I've never found myself very close to the line at times (In fact truth be told I've contacted two cars and so far none of my partners have hit cars whilst they have been driving) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only let the GF drive me home in my old MkIII too, wasn't too bad until I managed to focus on the digitial display and it was showing 128... Ummm... it was set to KPH honest Mr Officer.

tony tt Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 My girlfriend is a good driver in her own car (peugot 206) the problem is she tries to drive mine the same way heavy footed and last night was the last straw! I wouldnt mind if she could handle it and know what to expect when it hits 4000rpm but shes still accelerating into bends at that stage and it scared the sh#t out me last night. So i hope she enjoyed her drive because it was her last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodifiedkid Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 My wife is too frightened to touch mine, coz of all the work that is gone into it, shes scared she might prang it, good for me tho!!!!!! lol Im the only one that sits in the drivers seat, Id really hate it if someone else drove it, i cringe if anyone asks to drive. Its a BIG NOOOO every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I let a mate of mine that had lots of experience of quick BMWs drive my supra once. Within 20 seconds I was regretting it. Despite the fact that the RLTC was turned up to max he managed to put the car sideways out of a very short dual carriageway slip road onto a dual carriageway right in front of cars coming at about 70-80 mph. He then proceeded to fish tail it down the road until he got to a very handsome 140. I think I actually screamed the whole way. Can't think why I never let him drive it again.
