Gender 2

0149geep · 5th February 2014, 22:27

A few days ago I posted a new thread headed "Gender" and asked the simple question "Are there any women in this club?" I did so not because I had an agenda but because I though it would promote humorous discussion and I was not disappointed!!

Now I know that you lads whilst on this forum would much rather talk about plenums,engines,tyres,and the like so I know I take a risk by continuing the subject matter further but here goes.

Does your wife drive your pride and joy and if so how happy does that make you?

My ex drove my 260. And I was scared her car was a 1.2 fiesta. But it came back in one piece

She can but only as a last resort like if I've been in the pub

My wife uses the car all the time during the week, no wonder I'm always having to do running repairs.

Wife..............what wife ? I'm all on my lonesome me !

My Wife drives my 75, when she gets her hands on it, she loves it, loves the comfort the look the power, she hates having to park it but does so efficiently, saying all that... I have discussed getting rid of her Peugeot 207 and getting her a 75.... She will not budge. Loves her little eurobox.

The CDT is predominately the wifes car although not 'a pride & joy' car. Mainly due to various bumps & scrapes which will only reappear if we had them done

so for the time being at least we won't bother, unless of course someone wants to give away both bumpers a bonnet & boot lid in Wedgie 2

But even then i'd have to get the sills & a couple of doors done..

Mine's to big for her, she can't really handle it. She always avoids the question when I offer it to her.

wife does not normally drive mine but last year did a 400 mile trip on her own. Drove from our holiday site to home and back again.

No real reason she does not drive it but she has a "car of her own" which is more the joint car but the Rover is mine. Over 99% of the time if we are in the car together I'll drive as I am a bad passenger.

Although she does like the 75 she would now be nervous driving it as she knows how much I love it and would be worried of having it damaged

Oh that I had a wife who I could refuse the keys to. Unless I needed a lift back from t'pub of course. I have NO idea why I'm divorced
