    Over the years I've always encouraged my wife to drive whatever car I've owned and she has. Even got her towing our wind up van when we had it. Still trying to get her on the tracks. She keeps on saying that she isn't scared to drive, but scared that she will do the wrong thing and brake something.
    Maybe we should organise a woman drive day???

    GF doesn`t like driving the wagon, too big she reckons and yet I`m expected to drive her buzz box. Mind you, a hundred Ks an hour feels much faster in her vehicle than mine.

    My partner wont drive anything bigger than a Mazda 2 and doesnt like hard core camping. Plenty of other things in her life that earn my respect though. She also refuses to drive an auto, thinks they're for wussies! Haha tough and tame at the same time.

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

    SWMBO is a complete nut job on the beach - to the point I dont like to let her drive - she drives it like she stole it

    but

    she is not keen on gravel roads or tracks (she rolled a car once years ago on a gravel track near dwellingup)

    and

    she wont tow the Van - end of conversation................

    My wife uses ours as her daily drive as I have a company car, I have tried to convince her that we should get a small car to take to work but she likes the patrol as she can see ahead in the traffic. I hate being a passenger with her as she is to hard on the clutch and when I tell her that I get in the shit.
    Have tried to get her to try driving on some 4wd tracks but she refuses. She also hated towing the camper which makes it hard to share the driving on long trips.

    I know that feeling..
    I miss the Jesus bar when nissa is driving lol..
    She was always on about a reversing camera when we got it.. But now she's comfortable even reverse parking it.
    I'm still going to add the camera, a good safety feature and will aid with hooking up. . I'm glad though she hasn't become reliant on it though to park it and it'll be an aid when it's in..
    Cheers

    ha, well she will drive it on a highway, not into town and refuses to park it and complains its a truck/tractor. rides the clutch and holds it on a hill with the clutch...... complains the steering is to light. the cars to big but would be happy with a gu (which is bigger) yeah i'm confused.
    if its worth doin its worth over doin
