Would you trust a friend with your car?

[merlin]

I offer my Passat to everyone I know who is a terrible driver and to date they've all returned it safely.

 

[InvaderGIR]

Oh dear...I see another broken car thread coming....

Unlike Jake, Ben can drive.

Oh, and I'd probably let Ben behind the wheel, and some family members on the road, but I don't think I'd let someone take it on the track.

The only person I would trust with my car is my Sister. Cos she drives like a very safe nun.

I remember leaving it with the local Audi Garage once. Had a call from a mate I got through RS246.com that day, he said it was amazing to see me caining it on the M20 doing about 140.

I then advised him it cant have been me cos mine was in the garage.

When I went to pick it up it had McDonalds rappers and marks in the rear seats where baby seats had been installed.

Less than impressed.

I wouldn't let anyone touch my Enzo... **wakes up**

 

[kaiowas]

It's only a car, I've quite happily let various people have a go on both road and track.

 

[digitalwolf]

If they drive a car of similar power or more regularly yes.

My friend has a 306 hdi (130bhp) and I regularly drive it.

If he wanted to borrow mine he could.

 

[Janesy B]

Same rules go for girlfriend and car. I'll only let a mate take it out for a spin if i'm fed up of it or i'm getting rid of it.

 

[Skidder]

yes, i let friends borrow my truck but they'd have a hell of a job breaking it

 

[Muffin`]

Absolutly

 

[jpmonkey69]

I don't like other people driving my car... on the flip side - I don't really like driving other peoples cars either...

 

[InvaderGIR]

Absolutly

Only 'cause they wouldn't want to drive it.

 

[Dup]

No way, although don't have many friends anyway so it's not really an issue I foresee.

Amandas driven it. I thought she was going to put her hand through the dashboard though, wasn't used to the style of gearbox. She got some VTEC action to the redline in most gears too, was pretty amusing but I was impressed how she handled it. Not sure shed be one to look after wheels parking up mind you, but we need to swap cars so I can take the dogs out in the SAAB.

Only other people allowed to drive it are whoever services/tunes/fixes it and I'd let my parents borrow it if they needed it.

 

[Darryn]

I wouldnt let any of my friends drive my car... I have offered to let my sister tag along on the next trackday and she is more than welcome to trash my car anytime she wants.

He's talking about internet friends man!

 

[Virdi]

If you drive a really powerful car - I wouldn't hand the keys to anyone

...as it's simply dangerous

 

[Darryn]

He's talking about internet friends man!

Arhh... i didnt think of it that way.

In which case, id let Dup and RG-Tom drive my car without any issues, fairly sure neither would want to though.

 

[Phil W]

Theres only really 1 friend, 2 at the most that i would trust to drive my car, and they wouldn't ever really "need" to.

 

[peterattheboro]

Only 2 of my friends would I trust to drive my car. They've both had fairly high performance vehicles and they've been driving for like 20 years each aswell

 

[Dup]

He's talking about internet friends man!

Oh right! No, don't want any of my Furry, Emo & Peado friends driving my car

 

[Creature]

I'll let pretty much anyone drive my car. If they can start it, they deserve it.
