steppenwolf Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Never mind Steps life is only just beginning Luckily, my physical age and mental age are very different so I have no problems there! Strangely, though Steppenwolfess is very supportive of my Westfield life, I can hardly ever get her to drive it even though she has been insured from day one! She has actually driven and enjoyed it but like the rest of my crew can't bear the thought of damaging it ( I MUST be an ogre ) in any way so that seems to put her off which is a great shame 'cos I get a real buzz out of seeing her at the wheel of it with a silly grin on her face! I don't think the 'his and hers' ploy would work for me .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I cant get my missus to drive mine either the only time she got behind the wheel was to drive it for 25 yards while i took my Avatar photo she was absolutely terrified, even though she's been driving for 28 years she wanted to take the photo but I didnt trust her to get the frame right I only have on regret with being older, my physical age does'nt match my mental age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I'm 24, me and live in Haverhill, Suffolk because it's the only place vaguely close to civilisation that I can afford a house with a double garage. Had the westfield two years now. And luck doesn't come into it, all you old codgers - it's about hard work and priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I cant get my missus to drive mine either The Welsh Wizard is the same. First time I managed to get her to drive it (a few weeks after we got the car) was the time we discovered that the fuel gauge never goes below a quarter full (so it ran out of fuel a couple of hundred yards from the house). Since then she has driven it once for 10-15 miles, but doesn't seem overly keen to do so again... Ah well, more for me I guess Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidR Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Portsmouth, Born and bred, still nearby. 1951 vintage. Owned my Westie for nearly 2 years. Decided that after 20 years of promising to get my first kit car rebuilt I needed something interesting to drive while I got round to it, hence the westie.

SteveF Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Warrington 40 Had my Xflow for 2 years - strangely enough only a month less than I've had a house with a garage - how many other people had to take out a mortgage to get a Westie Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
