My advice is buy her half , then its all yours :)

I will have to have words with her at the next meet ;)

Or should I be having words with you :confused:

I agree with one post, fortunately my girlfriend can't drive, but if she could CIS tell me that she could get straight behind the wheel of my STi8 - Specialx Can you see me letting her ;) Only playing Debs ;)

It has its disadvantge though, meaning I always have to drive to Country pubs :p

Wait til she catches the alloys on a kerb !!!

There I was sat in the office this morning muching on a Mcbacon roll when the phone rang, "babes", it was the wife,(past test 4 weeks ago)
" Er... iv'e erm.... reversed the car into erm... a wall"!
AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGH!!!! Alarm bells went mad!!
go on then I said,
my foot(forgot it was there!) sliped off the clutch when parking up.....
ok see you later don't worry I said starting to feel sick and weak in the knees.

so as you could well imagine my day at work was sh*te trying not to think about the dammage and geting the p*ss ripped out of me by my collegues!!
The day dragged but I got my train home as usual bracing myself for the worst to arrive home to find a very very very sorry for herself looking wife.
Running to the garage I was greeted with two deep chips and an 18" scuff, phew!!!! With closer examination a found the bumper had been pushed in about 1cm and pushed the bracket back slightly(oh the pain lol) then the bad news.. the exhaust had been pushed back a tad and made the heatshield catch Wow! Thank god! could of been so much worse!
Don't let her drive it! I hear you cry but hey it's half her car so what can I say? and to tell the truth I think she feels alot worse than I do.
So the moral of the story is..... Let her drive it!
if she breaks it she will feel bad
and will definately, be cool when you buy aftermarket replacements!!!!!!

just hope u dont come back with tales of how she's had a big crash & killed sumone :eek: just IMO people shouldn't be allowed in "fast" cars so shortly after passing! (presume we're talking scoob here ;))
Si (+high horse :p)
PS glad no serious damage i suppose thou now get thee to the proper section ;)

Unfortunately it wasn’t an issue with speed!! (In my defense)

The car was stationary at the time, id parked up and forgotten to take it out of gear when I removed my foot from the clutch......it jerked backwards into the wall!!

Ill be more careful next time!!!

lol oops again! sorry Si will put it proper section next time.

My other half has gone of with his mates to Rockingham for the SuperBikes.........and LEFT ME with the keys to the Scoobie!!!!!! http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/hyper.gif
