JohnCh Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I let my girlfriend drive all the cars today including the Westfield. Guess which was her favorite? Yep, the one without any doors. Not only did she absolutely love the Westy, but she also asked if she would now be able to share some of the driving duties this summer when we take the car down the West Coast of the US from Seattle to Santa Barbara. To top it off, this morning she said “As much fun as it is to ride in the Westfield, it is a lot more fun to drive it.” Now I applaud her taste, but I’m afraid she is going to start demanding the keys whenever we take the car out. What have I done? -John Seattle, USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhawkins Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Well, at least she probably won't want to drive it again I let my other half drive mine the other week, mostly to try and convince her of the performance of the car, so she'd be less errr, apprehensive, or some of my overtaking manoeuvres. I like to think I'm a fairly safe driver (but then don't we all?) so tend to be more hesitant when overtaking than perhaps the car is capable of. Hopefully this will have helped set her mind at rest!

Warren E Smith Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 My wife loved the westie & driving it Then she got Pregnant and hated it before she''d even done the preggers test! It woz a blloming shame we'd already agreed it'd have to go when kids were on the way. So lads - get 'em pregnant and they won't wanna mess with your *real* toy, more 1 up blatting means a better Power to weight ratio=best performance upgrade you can get... Just don't blame me if you end up with the same fate I did ! Warren PS JohnCh - here's a thought. Get yourself a second *identical* Westie (apart from a teensy-weensy engine upgrade!!! ) and then go blatting together & repeatedly ask why she can't keep up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 PS JohnCh - here's a thought. Get yourself a second *identical* Westie (apart from a teensy-weensy engine upgrade!!! ) and then go blatting together & repeatedly ask why she can't keep up I just sold a car on Friday (the Alfa is gone) to get my total down to 3 and now you want me to go back to 4? <!--emo& To make matters worse on the car/girlfriend front. Yesterday afternoon we helped a friend move his cars around and he let her drive his toy: a Porsche 993 twin turbo. She really liked the power in that one. To think that when I met her a year ago, she didn't understand the whole car thing, and now I have her watching F1, willingly going to vintage races, asking to drive the Westy, and trying to bum rides in my friends' fast cars -- I can't get over just how much I've corrupted her -John Seattle, USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
