Steve M Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hello all, just wondering what your other halves think of your 'other love' ? , that being of course the Westfield ! My partner went out in mine for my birthday day a few weeks ago but that's it : ( She's still a bit miffed that I'm selling the motorbike, which has in fairness been replaced by the new love : ) What do your better halves think of your cars?

TAFKARM Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I took my ex gf out in in once and she was literally curled up in a ball in the footwell in silence. The current one loves it and passengers on track sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ashcroft Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 In 2005 mine jacked her Job to come to the USA to drive 4000miles in 3 weeks coast to coast, I think it's safe to say she's a fan and that's why I married her 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Lady Chair loves it, actually encouraged me to buy it and frequently tells me to pick up the pace. Rarely out without my lovely thrill-seeking best friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boombang Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Think she sees it as an illiquid savings account that offers negative interest, that costs a small fortune to keep open and takes a lot of my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John K Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My OH has been in it for 1.5 mikes from top of village to bottom. Never went more than twenty or 3k RPM. She is in no hurry to repeat. I don't think she hates the car, but she can't see past the lack of safety stuff. She can't settle when she has convinced herself it's a death trap. Regards costs and time spent on it no issues as I am mostly a dutiful hubby... (Mostly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikef Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 SWMBO hates it. She is happy for me to have the Westfield (as she was with the Caterham before). She had one trip in the Caterham and has never been in the Westfield other than to sit in it to press the brake pedal while I bled the brakes. She thinks we're all slightly barmy but accepts that we really enjoy our cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wifey likes the gentle drives to the countryside, shops and garden centres. Tried going on track with me but felt ill after two laps, so will stick to the normal roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1888 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My wife doesn't really care, she tells me to enjoy it but she wont go in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
