Topdog Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 What a wonderful day today. Uncovered the Ferret and took it for a blast to dry off the winter snow. For the first time, Val had a go.....on a quiet country lane near us. I think getting in and out was harder than the driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Yes my Better Half has driven my CCKW along with the Ben Hur several times , Being a Farm raised Woman there is not much that fazes her. Previously she had mastered operating a Case 580ck loader backhoe I had had for a number of years as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil munga Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 My better half :angel: I had a go at teaching her to drive , after trying to teach her how the gears work 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th but you won't need the last two , showed her clutch control and how to get a feel of it ( clutch peddle before you start ) after several attempts of stalling I told her that first is the lowest gear 5th the highest I then proceeded to show her how to control the clutch again but this time setting of in top gear and only touching the clutch peddle , she managed after that but I was rather pi55ed off after three quarters of an hour trying to push the bloody car out of a field , she just said you didn't tell me when to turn :undecided: , shortly after that I let her have a go in a Range Rover in low box she liked that and we never got stuck in the field :-D ,, If I just drive the slightest off road she goes mad but not the sister in law she really likes it ( driving off road that is :red: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthesnail96 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Doesn't seem keen on "having a go" but she loves being driven about in old Land Rovers and the like. I will get her behind the wheel of one someday... Trying to persuade her to get a classic car too, but as she's pointed out, one of us has to have a car that starts more often than not :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oily Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 My girl, 'Nikki', has had a go at mastering the black art of the pre-select gears in my Saracen, and she took to it like a duck to water, but says she wouldn't be confident enough in traffic on the open road, and it made her leg ache alot too....:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
