Should I Be Worried?


Recommended Posts

Sitting at work and ten minutes ago the phone rings, it's the missus telling me she's just went outside and her cars got a flat tyre. She doesn't have time to change it (like she'd have a clue anyway) and she's late for our daughters school sports day, can she take the subaru??? :):D :D :):P :P :D:o :o

After a 4 minute conversation about "how do you start it" and what does that button do and me hearing her rev the t!ts off it as she pulled it out of the garage I'm sitting here fearing the worst.

Should I tell my boss I have an emergency at home and rescue my beloved from my beloved or am I being paranoid?

brave man, especially with the power it has, a wee bit too much throttle and she`s going to find herself glued to her chair paniking for the brakes :lol:

Thanking my lucky starts it's only on a low power map at the mo until I can sort out a few issues so only running circa 500 bhp. Mind you it does have the dccd set to fully open.

Colin, what does she normally drive?

Is she used to a) turbo lag b ) brakes the size of a sky dish c) more than 100bhp?

well. I hot footed it home and gave the car a quick once over. All looked well, no chucks out of the alloys, no bits of hedge stuck in the grill, no pools of oil under it. The only major damage was to my back when i tried to squeere into the seating position she had left it in. Don't think she'll be borrowing it again. Apparently it,s "a bit loud". Her daily driver is turbo charged btw, a diesel mondeo.

I can't believe you did that! Have you no trust in your wife's driving capability ?? or is it your handy work you're paranoid about? :lol:;)

She's not the worst driver Alan but she is ill prepared for what this car might throw at her.

Build quality isn't a concern albeit that I'm still well withing shakedown mode but her total lack of mechanical sympathy is. She'll merrily bounce up kebs, squeeze into spaces I'd never look at and comments like "that oil lights really starting to annoy me" are not unheard of.
