    losing control

    Well here is a big issue, i have recently been out on a couple of weekend trips with my family in our new (to us) disco for some fun off road work for the first time in our married life i said to my wife (go on you try some of these hills) bugger it she took me up and now every time we go off road i loose control. that is of the drivers seat!!! Time to go by myself another one i think. I thought she would be happy in my xr6 turbo.

    Trade the auto in and buy a manual
    If she is like the majority of women the manual gearbox scares the wits out of them

    And then you will be back in control

    I can't get my wife to go 4wding most of the time let alone drive.

    We have a good system I think. She doesn't like driving my car (not that she ever has) and I don't like driving hers (auto Corolla).

    Mate, Buy yourself something Noice and go together 2 vehicles always best for recovery and safety...

    My wife spent 6 yrs in the Army as a Nurse driving 6 wheel Perentie Ambo's and she has had to push through mud etc...So she wouldnt come with me even if the kids were old enough.
    So make the most of a good thing I say

    Well at the end of the day you own a girls car

    Your a harsh man Craig
