Should I let my Missus drive my new car

[MattyMarsh]

Yeah but can she put it into reverse ? Youd be surprised.

My girlfriend couldnt. She went to reverse into the driveway and then realised she couldnt find the gear. I looked out of the window to see my pride and joy abandoned in the middle of the street.

My girlfriend of 6 years is insured on my 172 Cup as it saved me over £100 on the insurance (she is a professional, it seems to make a difference). She drives a MG ZR 105 and Im still trying to decide whether she can drive it or not as well. She is extremely careful with regards to kerbing etc and keeps her car in immaculate condition so I have no worries there, but she is what I would describe politely as a risk-taker out on the roads, that coupled with a lighter and considerably more powerful car is enough to terrify me.

May take her out one quiet evening and let her she how she gets on with it, but I certainly wont ever be letting her go out in it without me being in the passenger seat unless its an emergency.

Thanks for getting back to me on this thread. I am glad on that my first post has got such a good response.Sorry about spelling renault wrong but I am a dislexic lol.

The only bummer as you could see is that my missus logged on my account and has found out about my question (oh s h i t ) lol

I will have to let her drive it now!!!!

Anyone know where to get some cheap replacment alloys? rlmao

Get a grip guys, its just a car. I let my girlfriend drive my 182 and it is fine (er so far - touch alcantara).

When I look over at her 1.2 16v clio - the wheels are a little scuffed, but I think she appreciates the fact that alloys should not be used to find the curb.

Also, my insurance was MUCH cheaper with my girlfriend on it

Ive got size 13 and never had any trouble (had 3 Clios now), things are a little tight but the good thing is they are too big to get stuck in between pedals or anywhere!
