Default The wife's not happy :)

Picked up my first ever Scooby this morning
and the wife decided to come with me.

Her face was a picture when I stretched her legs
on the motorway and she has told me not to drive like
that when she is in the car

Does anyone else's missus not get on with
their Scoob?

My ex paid for most of my car so when we split she took it
She cant drive it so it makes me laugh bit of a waste tho.

but she loved getting runs about in it.

After some fun at a previous MSOC meet, her indoors has said I can go on my own in future BONUS!!!

Also, she won't get in the car if I don't have the bung fitted in the exhaust because the noise makes her and the kids sick double BONUS!!!

My ex was not a big fan, i always drove sensibly with her in the car. I was following a Sunday driver once, when she said, 'well, are you going to overtake or not?' to which i dropped it into second, and did the business, she went mental! Didn't do it again!
My currant lady loves it, didn't phase her even when i span it(oops)

My ex use to love it when I put my foot down. Found it loads of fun. Especially when It was icey.
Then let her have a drive one day and she had a right time.

The Mrs drives ours everyday. I get to drive the 'Mundane' Mondeo Barge (Barge = Estate). Makes it feel Xtra special when I do get to drive the scoob!

I usually do that when I'm driving her car, especially when she's trying to have a drink

Some cracking comments which I can relate to. My 2 and a half year old daughter was egging me on on the windy bits we found ourselves on this weekend, by saying "faster daddy, faster" how could I possibly refuse.
