Wife's first passenger ride

[CraigHew]

After 2 years of Westfield ownership, Mrs H plucked up the courage for her first passenger ride at the weekend.

 

To be fair, after a horrific RTA back in 2007, she's not the most confident of passengers.

 

However she did insist.

 

Being a responsible husband I kept things very sensible, even suggested she wear goggles over her sunglasses for safety.

 

Anyway, she wasn't too impressed as her hair just went ballistic.

 

 

 

Perhaps I should buy her a WSCC headscarf for Xmas???

Driving gloves?

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

What about a beanie hat..... Or shave her head.

i think its a wife/partner thing. my wife inisited once mine was registered that she would come with me for a short blat like you kept it sensible. she hasnt been in it since and probarbly never will again so i have to go everywhere on my own.

Did she complain about you driving on the wrong side of the road ? 

[Onliest Smeg David]

Wendz wasn't at all keen either...

Until she drove on a track day (@Curborough)

Since then happier driving on road and being a passenger, & has done 3 more track days.

I found with Carol that as long as she was warm and I had the side screens on then she would accompany me all the time.

bearing in mind though i have an aeroscreen and no carpets so isnt exactly a tourer

[SootySport]

What is it with women? I like the 'wind in the hair'motoring

[Olliebeak]

An Ena Sharples (remember her) hairnet would do the job, I agree about the sidescreens.

mrs panda is not a fan.... kids are though!

[Andy (Sycho)]

In my last car with windsreen & doors (before kids) the wife went everywhere, she's been out once in this one with areoscreen etc.

I took it steady & asked why didn't over take everything in sight! (This was after a couple drinks) you can't please some women.

I think she would go out in it more but it's difficult with kids!

You need to buy her a WSCC cap

This vid made me chuckle...

(Warning - Caterham content..!)

My Mrs went in my stripped out aeroscreened car once, until we hit 17 mph, at that point she'd had enough!

 

Although, she has actually said she will accompany me to a pub on Saturday (as compensation for me not going to Silverstone? no I can't work that logic out), as long as I pay and i don't go over 30 mph - the pub in question is about 7 miles away, it's going to be a long drive there and back.
