Well, the time has come to say farewell........

[phazed]

After thousands of enjoyable miles she is going to it's rightful owner.

Glorious country lanes eaten up by its super capable handling.
Thrashing it through its slick gearbox.
Utilising all the power available.
Amazing others in far more powerful cars as it scythes across roundabouts.

Yes, I am extremely sad to see it go.

After banning my daughter from driving for 6 months after she wrote off cars 3 times I am giving back her little beauty, a bright red 56 plate 1.2 litre gem of a Micra

I enjoyed every minute of driving it. Squeezing out every one of very few bhp.

Mind you, with my daughters track record it won't be long until she's back in my hands

So, goodbye little Micra, you were so dam good fun!

You bugger you really had me going then, I reckon she will be fine now Peter

Brought up 3 daughters. Got a couple of those T-Shirts.

Mainly reversing........

Note the lack of wing mirror

They don't improve, Peter. Women and spatial awareness are complete strangers.
I have known my dear wife for 12 years now.
Good driver, never had an accident in all that time........going forwards.




(wait for it, wait for it.......)















..........had SIX going backwards

[gacksen]

maybe buy something that will keep her safe ? would try the second hand market

[phazed]

That looks perfect.

She has already rolled a Punto and on another occasion located it in a field,

All that and the Micra in 2 months.

[ClassiChimi]

So you do track days for a rest Peter

[Bluebottle]

You need to take her on track days with you Peter, like I am doing with my youngest daughter...if she's going to drive like me I had better teach her how to on track.

[N7GTX]

In true Top Gear tradition this would be a good choice
