I occasionally let my brother drive mine, usually if I'm too drunk to drive, or just to let him see what he's missing.

My friend is on my insurance. She drove us around Antwerp...wrong side of the road, poor visibility, cobbled streets, trams and very few lane markings. Needless to say we were both very stressed!

I wouldn't let anyone drive it without my supervision!

All a damn sight better than that relative of yours at Silverstone?!! I think that session (or tour of the gravel traps) i saw on YouTube accounts for half the stonechips on the car today

Must admit Dave let me drive his car and since then it's been a slippery slope as I loved driving that!!!!

I'm very generous with my keys (and with things in general, I guess). It hasn't bit me back yet, but maybe someday it will. In general I think life is too short and possessions too fun not to share.

I'm also generally too trusting, but I find life more fulfilling when you accept the good in everyone and get occasionally burned than going around with a cynical hat on.

Those new shocks you have needs to be tested. Pass those keys.

I reckon at a quick guess, of the 160k on the 16, all bar maybe five hundred have been driven by me.

Other than that, the usual suspects, and Anita on occasion.

And my father for about five miles, in which he gently booted it to 3000rpm, changed up, rinse and repeat to 60mph...

Would take me a year to get the fag ash out after you drove it
Also watch your language or i will have to get this post locked.
Coarse Language offends me.

JBT... When am i getting a shot of yours then?? Lol
Donington next year??

Against me or driving it?

Dude,seen your facebook .Not good on the engine kid.

Flea has drove my car, but then he's drove everyone's coops, hasn't he? I've heard he doesn't ask, he just has a spare key and thraps it when you're asleep
Taffy has also, and he declared it 'quicker than mine when it was running the standard turbo' which was good to hear! Oh and Nif/JBT too. You have to let a trusted friend give your coupé a good razzing round a car park whilst you stand in the middle, The sound of your own coop's 5 cylinder warble gives you goose bumps!

Matt,do you remember ringing me not long ago at 2am in the morning.
Drunk and not knowing you had rang me.?

Yes he does remember, I asked him about it at the Pageant of Power show

Not even my mechanic drives mine. I even drive it onto the ramps for him.

Only my wife... (once) with me sitting next to her!!!
Funny felt a tad faster when she was driving

I allowed my wife once...she couldn't find reverse and after forcing it broke the gear stick!
My father in law also had a go but I had to stop him after only a few yards, he was reving the nuts off it while riding the clutch...
So only CC joe allowed now and I know that if he broke it he would fix it

I'm with Deadlock on this - my wife drives (and has commuted in) all my cars, 20vt, TVRs, M5 etc - my mates who are into cars (and decent drivers) have driven them all too (and I've driven theirs) - cars are great, and part of the pleasure of having fun/fast ones, for me, is seeing the enjoyment/terror other people experience when driving them

3 people drive my Lola, Me, Myself and I .. joys of having multiple split personalities

Fantastic post... and I agree. I get pleasure when people enjoy driving my car... especially when they are not expecting what the coupe can do. I am careful with who I let drive it though, I must have faith in their driving abilities.

My dad drives my coop every chance he gets, says its far more "interesting" than his own BMW 750i. My other half will occasionally drive it, although it scares the out of her, still progress though, she refuses to drive my Chevy Astro. Anyone else would have to beat me unconcious to get my keys...

Let my girlfriend drive mine, but she gets nervous about it...I keep having to point out that 3,500 rpm is NOT the change up point!

and whats that suppose to mean you meany!!!

Who else has a competition rally licence..?

Yeah I do JBT, Sorry 'bout that. Unfortunately you weren't the only one. I'd rang about half my phone book. Wasn't in many people's good books the next day

no worries chap.Found it quite funny.

This. My wife is a brilliant driver (apart from scaring an Alfa salesman once on a test drive, but that's another story). Although she is perfectly happy to short change and never get into the boost.

Mate drives mine with me down to France each year. Although this is partly because otherwise we have to go in his TT which I hate.

I just think that life is too short to be paranoid. Apart from wondering what that noise/rattle/slightly odd thing is when we're driving these little darlings.

Not many, my son has driven it, Bockers has and Matt from the garage is all I can think of.

Im the same, i have no problem with others driving my coupe with the same understanding. thats how 2 friends of mine now own coupes

I once let a certain someone drive my silver LE - it needed reversing to get out from where it stood, within seconds it had collided with the front wing of a rover 214 or 216, never again!! Tut tut!

well i seam to remember the same story kicking around
but wasnt the owner of that grey LE the one that sellow taped his HID head lights in. which fell out straight away and could of ended up in the AUX belts if he wasnt told to check his shoddy workmanship

usual specialists and co.
Brother

Thats it really.
