Iv'e been teaching the wife to drive - in the scoob (must be nuts),
Many, many scary moments and more than i can count frustrating moments.

One in particular, We pulls up at a set of lights, Car full of young lads in a ****roen pulls along side, big revs from the young lads - lights change, they "drove" off, (took off is a bit of a strong word). Bet the driver felt really good about thrashing the Subaru (showing 'L' plates) off the lights.

I chuckles to myself, we gets to the next set of lights, young lads had stopped, wife pulls up and gives the lads a wee smile, She says to me, Im gona have them this time. I chuckes again - learners ehh.

Lights change - she desimated them.
Next set of red lights we stopped, lads pull up, big thumbs up from them all??
Wife was delighted - thinks she can pass a driving test now!!!


Any one also been crazy enough to let a learner drive??

Let my girlfriend drive my scoob when she was learning to drive, she even said that it was easier to drive then her own Fiat Punto sporting, let her drive the car again 2 days after she passed her test on the open roads, and she loved it.

My husband has been learning me to drive in the scoob, not had many scary moments, but it's me thats scared of the car, like s**t off a shovel!!

Ha ha ha........

Talk about a current topic.....

Just about to buy my first scoob and the g/f is learning to drive as we speak.
She's showed huge interest in "having a go" and just hasn't grasped the, "lets wait till you get a little more experiance..." comment.
PLUS
We're going to a bbq this weekend, so obviously I want to drive but can't drink.
As a way round this she "suggests" that I bring her brother along and he can drive the scoob home then pick us up later in it.
The 24 year old who wants to buy a turbocharged mini cooper?

Yeah............jog on

to be fair he paid for the turbo, the intercooler, injectors, and manifold... so its only fair he drives it

Very interesting, looks like i'm not the only one thats foolish enough to let someone else drive the scoob,
@ StickyMicky, to be fair, my only deffence m8, is that i thought she was just joking, still no excuse but not much i could've done really.

Still good to hear other learners have tried driving in a big car.

Cheers all,

My husband has a '03 sti which he let his 20 year old learner driver nephew drive last week, he scared himself silly but is now desperate to get his full license. God help us all. I drive my husbands scooby all the time and he drives my classic scooby, basically whoever gets the keys first has the car the day.

My dad let me drive his scoob when we went to a small rally on an airfield, i didnt go much above 25 but it was fun, it was the first time i properly drove a car

First time i ever drove a car was an E30 BMW 318is round a field in the wet. That was fun without ever goin above 40mph! Then I drove an XR2i round a field with very long grass, that was fun too

My dad wouldnt let me drive his scoob!

First car my girlfriend drove was my GTIR with probably the most ferocious 3 paddle clutch I've ever felt

By the time she got in her leaner car she could launch anything from a standing start
