I wouldn't worry, shes probably just donuting it around Asda car park as we speak!! Then on her way home she'll be embarrasing all the corsa/saxo boys at the traffic light grand prix, and doing her best Petter Solberg impression on every roundabout
No big deal............

not that I have anything against the fairer sex, but:
check the wheels for grinding/kerbing
check the side panels for carpark dings
check the front and back for parking dings
check the back seats for kiddie puke
check the glove box for make-up
and go adjust the handbrake - she prolly just dfrove all the way there and back with it on

on the plus side, she wont have got far - she'll prolly have spent most of the time trying to get across the local roundabout

Fantastic , Scoobian I didn't know you knew my missis. But just remember all of the above are NEVER her fault , perhaps it's the councils for putting the kurbs so high, maybe its yours for having the mirrors adjusted to your settings. Then again it could be the mystery branch that once landed in the road changing the shape of the front bumper..

my mates pride and joy is his 330d, his missus, a haridresser, uses it from time to time, it has an M kit (or something) with M alloys etc. His missus crashes up onto the kerb everytime she uses it, her reason is that 'it is easier than reverse parking, and anyway thats what tyres are for'. the wheels are kerbed to ****, he has given up refurbing the the wheels now as he was doing it every few months.......on the plus side though he has free haricuts.

On the plus-side, if she gets dragged out at some traffic lights and killed as they run over her as they flee, as long as you have a Tracker you might get the car back

If you have Blackjax then you have nothing to worry about. Just open a window and you'll be able to hear the alarm as the car will be stopped 2 streets away. You'll also be able to hear the missuse screaming and swearing

I've only let my wife drive the Scoob ONCE, she took it round the block, stalled it twice and said 'not that quick is it' ?
