I cannot quite believe it :eek:

When it comes to driving my mother is the eptominy of slow lady driver. Everything is done in engine struggling, bum rattling low revs so as to maximism fuel economy. If there is a speed limit she is garanteed to be at least 10 miles an hour under it. She is the lady that you (and sometimes even the caravan driver behind you) has to wait ages for the chance to overtake, and when you do you realise she hasn't you have been notised your fury at your subsiquent lateness as she is intently listening to the Archers Omnibus.

Anyhoo, she dropped me at work (yes, WORK ) and went on with my furby to Plymouth, which is about 45 miles away.

I text her three times during the day mostly to make sure my car was okay.

When she came to collect me she told me that she could not believe the number of people who had tried to race her. She said at one point 'some angry man in a white van tried to undertake' and apparently she was having none of it. She also admitted that at one point she thought she might have gone over the NSL :eek: . She also said that she loved the fact that the car managed to maintain 70mph coming up the other side of Haldon Hill. (To non-yokals that is a very steep and twisty hill that normally means you get loads of HGVs struggling up at 20mph.)

Conisder she is the lady that tells me off for 'needless acceleration' and when she is really in a mood 'a dangerous and pathalogical need for speed', I think this is a real breakthrough. I might actually accept that we are related.

Just be sure to explain the do's and don'ts of Strut Braces to her Emily.

It's probably because she is using your fuel and not hers.

please tell her that driving with the engine revving so low that it vibrates a lot is actaully using more fuel and putting more strain on the engine resulting in greater wear tehn thrashing it

Ensure she replies to the NIP!

haha! my mum doesn't get fast cars at all, shes never really been in one, need to find one and put her in it lol! How can anyone not like them?!?! lol

Just get her to go out with Shifty, that'll do

But I have a slow Skoda :confused:

I know, but you don't drive slowly, well until you get to the speed limit anyway

lol, my mum never did the fast driving thing either. she was your typical mum behind the wheel except when they had a marina tc(:confused:), which according to her you couldn't drive slow

My mum is normally quite calm in a car

but get her behind the wheel of an Ausitn Allegro or Maestro

and stick a boy racer in front and she won't stop until she passes them

best was in the allegro round lanes she knew really well and she had a tarted up Escort shoot past

I never realised an Allegro could be driven as quick :eek:

I was quite young at the time and it was when I 1st realised my mum really could drive :eek:

my mum drives a golf 4motion and the accelarator pedal has two positions.... either fully on, or off....... girl power.
