Daft things the missus says when a passenger in your TVR

[Flagpole]

Thought I would start a thread as having driven from London to West Wales and back over the weekend, I heard some absolutely stoopid things come from the missus in the passenger seat:

1. "Can you slow down?"
2. "What do you think this is, a race car?"
3. "You can never overtake all those cars in one go."
4. "Can we have the radio on?"
5. "That exhaust sounds a bit loud, is it ok?"
6. "Why can't we just enjoy the journey and not drive so fast?"

I'm sure you fellow TVR drivers must have had heard some similar comments from the missus...

Wife complains that all she can see through the windscreen is the wipers

None of the above Im happy to say Andy.

I sometimes know Im pushing my luck a bit when I see her left hand slowly reaching down to subtely grab the passenger door trim for a little extra support, but she doesnt give me a hard time.

Mind you, she does get her left & right muddled up sometimes when shes in Satnav mode, but always gets us back on track without any trouble

nor me either Him Indoors never complains

[Vipers]

Not only wives of TVR drivers either, driving through Italy, with my Tom Tom turned on, misses says "Because we are driving on the other side of the road, is she (Tom Tom voice) says turn left, do you turn right". Bless them all......

"Why do we have to go in this silly little car when we have a perfectly good Range Rover sitting on the drive?"

I know, despite 30 years, i still have some work to do

On the odd occasions my Mrs drives it this is what I am usually saying. Followed by oh shiiiiiittt then covering my eyes.

[HarveyB]

"what does this button do?"

[andyoleary]

funny thread, think I'll contribute...

On the rare occasion that we are together in the Tusc, comments vary from "whooaaaa" or "he's having a laugh" to "I'm in the noisy car" (when "trying" to talk on the mobile)



Andy

[dingg]

she generally squeels a bit when I really boot it and usually says 'do you have to go so feckin fast'

[Mrs Cuchillo]

My "missus" usually falls asleep - I think I need to drive faster to keep him awake.

He says that falling asleep is safest as then he can't see what's going on.

[so called]

My missus, "how do you get out of this one then, only just got used to the Chimaera"

In holiday mode,
Missus - "Shall we go in the ML320"
Me - "No the Tuscan, were not bringing half of France back this time"
Missus - "OK, but theres plenty of room in yours for Jewellery"
Me -

My dear wife,
Craner Curves some years ago.

"Is that the fastest you can go"

Nurburgring more recently...
"Bit steady dear isn't it"

[im]

First time in it: "I'm NEVER getting in that again!"

And frankly, she's been as good as her word.
