It's Finally Happened!

Postby BIG_MVS » Wed Jun 06, 2007 8:28 am

Been putting this off for 2 years but "Her in Doors" has driven off in the GTA to go to work. Her car is off the road with a head gasket problem and her track record isn't great :shock:

Are there any other Lady Owners/Drivers of GTA's out there, or any of you guys let the Mrs drive their pride and joy?

She is on the insurance, lowers the premium. But as yet has not driven the car.

Mrs Aa drives the red A310 but not the yellow one (but she's on the insurance for both).

Does she like driving the GTA? That's the point, will you get it back? :lol:

Luckily Susan can't drive and had difficulty with the weight of the clutch and gearshift when she tried it out stationary on the drive once. She also admitted to having a bad dream where she got in the car and drove it straight out of the driveway and through the gates without opening them..... doesn't bode well does it?
I'm just here for the gasoline.

My wife does drive it from time to time but had a bit of a "mare" when she couldn't get reverse one day (as I did a couple of times as well!). Not a nice feeling when you keep getting 2nd and rolling further forward all the time :oops:

My missus has driven my car and loves it, but is very wary of it!
She calls my GTA 'Eleanor!'!!

Well it survived and she likes it but wants her Pug 306 back. :D

We had our daughter in the front with a car seat (Britax one for those who were asking about car seats which fit in the GTA). Also a large pram in the back, who said these cars were not family friendly 8)
