Does your partner drive your Patrol?

She does not have a license, panicked every time she went for the test.
The 10 year old boy would love to give it a crack, he drives his Hyundai Excel worse than if it was stolen, the rev limiter is there to tell you when to change gears and you can go from second to reverse at 60 km/hr just to see how much gravel you can throw out the front.

Maybe we should organise a woman drive day???

Woman drive day, not a bad idea, but does Club 4X4 do husband insurance?
Can you imagine some of the radio chatter?
HE:-Left, left further fcukin LEFT!
HER:- I am LEFT and if you use that tone of voice again you will be TOO!

Well. I have to hold the steering with my hands. So my answer to the original question, currently, would be yes

I don't let my wife drive my Patrol unless it's on the way home from a few drinks. lol

Not any more. There's proof on this forum somewhere as to why. Besides he's got two of his own.

I only mentioned the registered ones. The others aren't really driveable.

If the manual is troubling for Mrs T knees an Auto conversion would make any kind of driving
reativly pain free , only down side is engine breaking. A few here drive an auto just for this reason.
No idea when you plan to go away but get out there every time you can and practice ,,,practice,, practice
you can never do enough practice IMHO

My missus can drive the Patrol, but never off road,, never

Mrs mudsane would drive it if she could start it. With a manual choke and a tendency to flood, even I have trouble starting the bloody thing.
