Hoon?
Not heard the term before?
It's used in Motors a lot, basically means driving hard and fast.

Ah.
Nope, never heard it before. Likely I've skimmed over it in here before though.
my gf is quite small @ 5'3 and she drives my 330i well enough
I agree - my GF was more than happy to drive my old e38 (and park it) yet she struggled with an Xantia estate.
Women are weird - what other creature on earth bleeds for 7 days & lives?

My soon to be ex-wife (serious) has no driving skills, having binned not one but two mx5's after running out of talent. Not satisfied with that, she's put a big dent in my e38 door but claimed someone hit her in a car park.
As for punishment, do it from behind and 'accidently' slip into the back door? Also, get her back in the kitchen, removing a few links from the chain as it's too long if she can reach the car.

My ex was a similar size and used to drive my XJ6/XJ8 - a car where the sloping boat is impossible to see from the drivers seat!
No issues at all - she was a pretty good driver and was happy to trust her, that can't be said about all women drivers I know.
I genuinely don't mind about anyone driving my car though - especially if they've never driven anything like it, it's fun for them to try something different!

My wife ruined the front splitter on our CTR whilst being hassled into our drive by an impatient steam-roller driver. She properly scraped the corner of it away too. 
Luckily managed to source a used splitter on CTRO for 50 notes.
She's also caught the rear bumper on a high kerb in the past. I'm never really bothered if it's something minor, I just play it up and use it to my advantage.

And you drive a Saxo...
What's that supposed to mean?
Over here, we use a slightly longer phrase instead....
"Don't slack 'er till ya wreck 'er"
