Oh, and make sure you don't show up your girlfriend either - she may well hold that against you for the rest of your days lol

You. Girlfriend. Backseat. Ignorance. Bliss

Yeah just tell em stuff about yourself, what you like and enjoy, and just positive things. Also ask about them, but dont be too personal with the questions. And for gods sake, dont try to crack a joke.

Dont go making a pass at the mother. Never goes down well
Soldato
Whatever the mother feeds you, be it pig slop, gruel or fillet steak, always eat it ALL and tell her how much you enjoyed it. If she offers more, accept.
Works every time.
Also, don't discuss "10 things me and your daughter have done with a cucumber" with the dad, that may put him off you.

I can't think of much worse than sitting in a car trapped for 8 hours with inlaws. 
Personally i would take an MP3 player and very visible headphones. I would also fart and smoke making sure i would Never have to go through it again.
I would only take my headphones off to shout at her dad for driving like a milkman and to get a ******* move on as i have had enouth already.

Just say
"I've been working overtime all week, I haven't been to sleep in about 3 days"
Then nod along to the first conversation and fall to sleep. Or if you arn't tired just sit with your eyes closed and thank me for being such a genius.
The family will say: "Aww hes tired out, bless him for working so hard, working hard to provide a good living for our daughter. Bill, put some money in his wallet for when he wakes up."

Bad luck mate, you have my sympathy, make sure you offer driving advice for free that will go down well.... not
If they do end up as in laws, you will set a precedent for the rest of your natural so basically be nice but dont give a poo and behave as normal. They are either a-holes or nice normal people anyway.

Do not under any circumstances talk about sex - unless of course you decide to make a pass at Momma.

Unless you genuinely, genuinely funny don't try to crack too many jokes.
Also try to find some common ground with them, films etc
If the dad tells you about something he has done etc, ask him about it
