driving different cars
« on: 09 January 2008, 19:18:52 »
this July we are off again to south of france, like last year we will be in the miggy.
unlike last year I want to share the driving, sister in law is coming with us and I have asked her to drive from Plymouth to Dover.
she freaked when I asked her!! she regularly drives from porstmouth to darlington and portsmouth to plymouth so the distance isn't an issue, i'll do all the french driving.
she wants to have a couple of weeks to get use to the car!!! she currently drives a seat ibiza, its not the size thats an issue, or that its someone elses car.......
its because it an auto, she can't cope with that.....

wtf???

aha now thats where the problem lies, you see for her less pedals means more issues :o she doesn't know what to do with her left leg.......

oh no, i just want to see the look on her face when she realises that she doesn't have to touch the pedals.........

she is a control freak so having gadgets like auto, cruise just make her mad  ;D

Old mate of mine who only drove big Yank autos told me the solution to that problem years ago,
Give her a dead leg before she starts and she'll be fine.

 Oddly, my mum had no qualms about driving my Omega, she's got a Mazda 3... a brief familiarisation, then we were out on the road... she even reverse parked into a bay, better than she ever does in her own car...
