If you are anything like my wife then DON'T KERB THE WHEELS!
That is very high on the list of worries! I have had the lecture on how much the wheels cost.My plan is to go to the gym at about 1330 when the car park is mostly empty and I can park
nowhere near a kerb.
Opening the door and making the engine go I think are my first hurdles.

If the thought of driving a different car terrifies you that much, you really shouldn't drive it. You could be a danger to yourself and others. Can you not hire a car instead?
I know I can control it, and I have driven it safely before but I think the problem is the list of do's and don't I have been given by him indoors, and the fact I still don't quite understand how you open and lock it.
t? Where is the banhammer when you need it eh? EH?Seriously it is much easier without the owner in the car, give yourself a little more road room and drive sensibly. I was out and about in the Mrs' 60 plate colt yesterday and it is easier to drive without her going ooh arrgh watch that etc. Before people say man up or anything about this, it is our first brand new car and as such is seriously special.
I think my wife is winding me up.
The clutch in the Mini did go yesterday (and is going to cost a bloody fortune to fix). And yes, I have pointed out the wheels are expensive
However if she can't work out how to (un)lock it and drive it, then we are all safe
(so please stop whining about banhammers and stop assuming every silly thread is created by a 14 year old at home sick or a bored regular, sometimes it's really a new-ish person having a chuckle at her husband's silly attachment to his new car)
PS Can't do custard as we live in Holland

Is there no custard in Holland - Thats a travesty that is - perhaps we could settle for some milk or biscuits?The clutch in the Mini did go yesterday (and is going to cost a bloody fortune to fix). And yes, I have pointed out the wheels are expensive

I tend to think I make my wife really more nervous that needed, its not deliberate, its just by time I reel off a list of warnings she doesnt want drive it anymore. This is despite being a very capable driver who has had less "mishaps" than me
