Title: Had a ride in...
Post by: omega18 on 14 May 2007, 18:47:29
My mates new Punto Grande Sporting...I must say that it is one of the most uncomfortable cars I have ever been in. I was only in it for 15mins and came out feeling ill.
If anybody on here knows the Heysham bypass, I could feel every little bump and stone not impressed at all.  :(
The meega is sooooo much more comfy and is about 5 times larger inside ( Different cars I know).
This is the first time in many years I have felt ill in a car. :o

I know that he is impressed with the car and that is all that matters. :y

Did you know that travel sickness is a 'control' issue?

I was thinking so, being a passenger you're not gonna know each split second when the car your in is gonna slow down, or slam on, and to what extent, but as a driver, you've already prepared yourself.. and your stomach!

I did not know that it was a control issue...I can understand why though! I guess I was not prepared for his driving style...there is no need for the way he drive's lol... :o
The company we worked for would not be impressed with his driving outside of work....
