OK - I know we have owned our Griffith for nearly 3 years but I have never got round to driving even though Mr Big has me down as a named Driver - mainly to having arthritis in my left knee. Anyway six months of Physio and I thought I would give it a go. Drove it for about 20 minutes - bit tiring on the knee - the main problem not being the clutch but having no where to rest my left foot. I haven't quite got the courage to rest it under the clutch pedal.

Anyway I only missed a gear once - and only spun the back wheels once and flash and waved someone in a silver Cerbera

Mr Big managed to capture the event on film

Cheers NCS & Ace - Must admit that I wanted to carry on driving it but we were a bit late meeting someone and he drives it a lot faster than me

Also need to get used to holding the steering wheel at Quarter to Three and not Ten to Two.

Must say you look very at home in the driving seat Debs...

Can see that this may become a habit....
