Normally my mom is a pain. No driving fast always lecturing about hitting cyclists etc  :evil: :grin: :evil:

However I must say (and I think this counts for most woman) that they do have a thing for cars. They will never admit but most woman do enjoy the thrill of cars.

An example:

Long downhill. Twists and turns (Only on South African mountain passes  :laugh: ) And my dad is driving the car had. Mother is complaining and then... Dad brings the car into a corner fast (Nice corner) and woops. There happens to be diesal on the road (Probably from some or other MK4 tank)  :angry: :laugh:. Car skids like a maniac and between driver skill and ESP dad after sliding a bit corrects the car and off we go.

Mother however was in her element. She loved it and so did we.
I reckon we should do a test. Let the ladies drive the car for the day and compare their MPG etc with yours that you normally get. I bet you it will be lower than yours.

My GF likes the E30. She told me that many a time.  :smiley:
She likes Lambos  :kiss:, but not so fond of Porsches (her previous BF had a Porsche).

She gave mi hints and explicitly said that she would like to drive.  :smug: But she is not insured, she has not driven for a long time (which would make my heart bleed everytime she does a bad gearshift), so I kind of gently skirted all these suggestions for her getting behind the wheel.  :embarassed: Besides, I still haven't had enough of E30. AND it has black rims and white paint. If I scratch it - it's one thing.... :lipsrsealed:
But she does not push the topic, good girl! Also, she does not like to go long distances in the car, because she gets bored on a passenger's seat. Therefore I kill two birds with one stone - I have piece of mind, and I get to drive alone, and for me driving is like meditation.  :smiley:
She told me repeatedly that I love E30 more than her, though.  :lipsrsealed:

My wife got all moody, when I told her I was chopping her 530 Sport for something else and she was getting the GTI instead,

"Its too small, tiny boot, its only a 2litre, it will be too slow, I like big fast cars they are safer etc, etc"

2 months on............"Jeez does this thing pick up fast, overtaking is a breeze, it's easy to park, love the heated seats, that 5 series was ready for a change!!!!, and the best one,  it's much better on fuel (yeah still my credit card though :-)

Well my G/f's aren't usually into cars when I start going out with them, but are usually pretty knowledgeable by the time we split up.

Want my next one to be into them given that I want to get into tweaking the golf and trackdays etc.
