I let her do the clubs driver training day, and now I can't get her out of the drivers seat!!

Any advice on how to get control again is warmly received (and needed!!)

My point exactly, it may lead to me having to buy another one for myself, I knew I should have got a manual :roll:

MMMMM, maybe a 130 double cab jacked up with a roof rack, that way she wont go near it or be able to go shopping in it either

A plan is hatching in my mind [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]


Glen.

mines scared ****less of 4WDing, but thats also my fault... she was loving it until we rolled over a few times. Had got her back on the beach slowly but no further. :roll:

That's exactly what's begun Glen. She now wants one of her own!! more money and two cars out on each trip. She's targetting a little Jimny now, so fuel costs don't come into the discussion.
At least I'll get the Disco back though. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Well Rebecca has come off road with me a couple of times, and is coming again in a couple of weeks. Mostly she enjoys it, but she doesn't like the ride, i've got very very stiff leaves, whcih provide a ride akin to a horse drawn kart without suspension.

When I can afford a defender I think she will come more often 8)

Oh, and she loves mud and puddles

I wish I was that lucky but SWMBO is a snob and wont drive anything but a Land Rover, just knew I should have got a Patrol 8O

Wash my mouth out with soap :roll: :roll:

I mean a Defender, but she thinks they are sexy and I'm sure that if there was one in the driveway that she would learn to drive a manual

I dont think I can win, looks like I'll just have to suck it up and get another one :roll:

Glen.

All in with us even the dogs love it we've been away including this weekend coming 14 times just this year alone, so far clocked up 11,000ks in the Disco and Kerry and Ness and the dogs love it the 4WDriving and the camping.
The last Aces BBQ Kerry drove the whole Sunday, which included treebruisers 100s Cruiser 8O
Kerry given the Cruiser heaps


Baz.

I suggested to my wife that she should do the ladies drivers course in the Club but she won't even consider it.
