oioi Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Worst thing is being a passenger in your own car whilst its being driven by someone else i was sat in the passenger seat with a mate driving my westie from selkirk to newcastle the other week. it had been raining fairly hard, and we were pressing on, but I was feeling comfortable as it was well within what the car (and driver) were capable of. I saw something building up in front that would have made me brake, my mate read the situation differently. he left the braking very late and ended locking the front up fortunately he got it stopped in time. All i said was "personally I would have applied the brakes earlier" i didnt even swear or hit him or anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilux Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I sold my Westy to a very nice chap (who had been `entertained` by me in it) so it wasnt entirely new to him. Sunny but not that warm when he picked it up. I recommended he wear his fleece but he refused (and had a long trip to make) slackend off `big time` the harness when I tightened it up stating that it was too tight and he preferred it slack and then said "why, what will happen" when I suggested that he secure the paperwork/fleece/phone etc when he was about to drive off with it all on the passenger seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Took the memsahib out on the day it was registered. She spent the entire (2 mile) journey clutching her hat and peering into the footwell, wimpering. She vowed never to go in it again................................
