Letting others drive your P and J

[theironduke]

Subject to insurance obviously.

Going to meet up with a mate I haven't seen for years soon and he was like a big kid when I told him I had a Tiv. Obviously take hime out for a spin but I also said that if he's insured he can have a go.

Now i'm really not to bothered, obviously as I volunteered it! and it the day it's only a 5/6k Chim, not a Veyron. I figure whats the point in having such cars if you can't share the fun!

So what are other peoples views of letting people get behind the wheels of their toys?

I'd have to witness their driving first I think, especially in something like a TVR! I have a few friends I definitely wouldn't let behind the wheel of my car. 1) They'd crash it. 2) They put the clutch in around corners instead of changing down

There will defo be some observing first!

Oh and changing down to brush off speed doesn't end well in Chims, especially in the wet! When I bought mine and took it for a test drive the first thing the then owner told me was NOT to use engine braking as you would in something more....normal!

If they are insured properly, why not? If the car was irreplaceable then I'd be a bit precious, but any standard car I would let any friend or family member drive it, no matter what its value is. Most people I know with 'nice' cars have a similar attitude; the smiles you can give others is well worth the potential risk of having to go through an insurance claim and get a replacement car, which is unlikely anyway.

My sentiments EXACTLY!
