Title: Well that's the wife away with the ED35...
Post by: Murrayedition35 on 30 April 2012, 19:23
I thought she was up to something when she said have you got petrol in the golf....to which I said yes plenty :smiley: to her reply that's good I'll leave you with the A1 as it's low in diesel... :sick:

As she reversed out the drive in the ED35, she shouted any chance you could fill the A1.... :angry:

I thought she liked the golf better than the audi...she is worth the watching...

Mrs W won't drive the Ed35 as she says it's too slow in standard tune, fortunately I never insured her for business use on it either given her parking locations, in fairness I'm reluctant to let her have the 500 either

We only have the one car at present so my wife uses the ED35 most days, she is more sensible than me but does like a good blast. We have always shared cars so we are both used to GTI's.

No concerns with my wife using our GTi as a daily, it's very safe compared to the modified Civic Type-R we had running 285bhp with a shed load of mods including a supercharger :grin:

My wife won't drive ours as she hates the brakes and is scared of the power. She cannot get her head around the car only going as fast as you make it go. Still, means I don't have to keep moving the seat and mirrors  :smiley:

I think it pays to keep an old, shiity car for everday use that the wife can drive.

Mine doesn't work (as such) so hardly has to drive anywhere. That means the Mk6 Golf can stay in the garage all nice and clean and shiney, the Mk2 Golf can stay in my other garage even cleaner and shinier, and we can both drive round and not worry about the kids clambering in and out of my old Passat V6 TDI.

Still, means I don't have to keep moving the seat and mirrors  :smiley:

Why do they do that? Mine moves the seat to drive a couple of miles.

See I have this dilema, Insured the gf on the golf, great expense, tis going to be the most expensive taxi ride home from the pub (when it eventually happens), but still am very reluctant to let her drive it, even though it is just a golf and it is very easy to drive, she doesn't look both ways when pulling out of junctions and I fear for the alloys.

Could be worse, at least I don't have to put fuel in her car too.....  :evil:

I'd probably end up putting black stuff in her petrol pug anyway.

Insured the gf on the golf, great expense,

I thought adding a split arse onto your policy brought the premium down? Or is she only 17 and put 6 cars through the sticks already?

If you knew my gf you'd be amazed the suits in insurance don't make it tripple digits :-)

My girlfriend has borrowed my ed35 tonight for the first time tonight as her car has gone for a MOT. I'm a bit nervous to be honest  :smiley:

My good lady refuses to drive my car - frightened of pranging it - that's a result  :cool:

Just means I get taxi'd in a Civic but that's OK with me!

Not being rude, but it sounds like your mrs needs a awareness course or something if she don't look both ways at junctions ect...very risky business!

Well i checked the ed35 from top to bottom after the better half was away with it and it's looking good... :wink:

apart from the seat moved, mirrors moved and the smell of perfume... :smiley:

And of course the lack of fuel.... :angry:

On smelling perfume infused car do you find you are a more sedate driver?

Mrs Ginge borrowed mine a couple of weeks ago and took our 17yr old nephew out for a spin, so I checked the mpg just out of interest (actually to see if she'd been thrashing her) and it was down to early 20's! When I asked her she said "damn right" so this'll be the last time my split arse borrows my motor!
