women mcar drivers

That roundabout in question only has 2 mad entrances out of 5.Bad driving from a snooty old so n so based predom no doubt on what she was driving.

I was going to stay off this but...if you happen to be here and reading this....I'd like to say a BIG thank you to the 50-something year old woman in the 54 reg estoril E46 M3 who decided to use the car's power to jump over the Wellingborough ringroad roundabout yesterday narrowly avoiding the MG already crossing the roundabout and nearly taking my front end off.

My brother-in-law learnt on farm vehicles too. He failed to attach his trailor to the tow hook correctly and it crashed through the local pub. Landlord wasn't too happy, nor were the police. Then there was the time he was airlifted to hospital after rolling his tractor..........

I didn't have any driving lessons.

just done the test.

Alot of the problems with drivers, men and women, goes back to when they were first taught to drive. Some standards of tuition leave a hell of alot to be desired.

For example, a mate of mine's son had failed his test 8 times. His instructor used to smoke weed during the lessons, this instructor was a bona fide instructor with a country wide company who will remain nameless. I was asked to get him through his test. I had him out on the road in my manual n/a Supra for about 4 hours a day for a week, he turned up at the test center in the n/a Supra..much to the examiners shock..and passed without a problem. Not saying Ise a perfect driver but never had anyone fail their driving tests with me, never any smudges on my licence in over 20 yrs, driven everything from 44 tonne artics to turbocharged road cars to nitrous drag cars and ridden large capacity bikes too. Its all down to how you are taught and how disciplined you are once you have passed the test.

Oh an Ise a mere female too, which did not help me get cheap insurance, I got that cos I got classed as a 'professional driver' apparently. £205 fully comp/inc all glass/roadside recovery/protected NCB for my self modified Supra Turbo mk3 at 34, I sold the car last year, new owner..a bloke..wrapped it round a pine tree a week after getting it home.

Absolutely. Most people can't afford the car until they are too old to really appreciate it.

As for the rest of the thread. Eh!

Some women are bad drivers and so are some men.

I would rather see a woman in an M3 doing a bad job of parking than see some bloke driving like a nutter putting himself and other road users at risk.

Sexist rubbish, IMO of course

As rr_ww said near the begining of the thread, if it isn't your car then it doesn't concern you. If some one wants to go out and buy an M car then ding it on a curb then that's up to them. Get over it

I ment "Any advice to make smart money"?

So you are a financial adviser? Please help
then! How would you advise me to get my current dream car,
cos I'm not going "to sell it all".
It only costs £35000 as second hand (1-1.5 years old). I believe
I'd look cool as a young lady (!) driving an innocent looking
Jaguar XJ V8 4.2 Supercharged with 400bhp(03 or 53 plate)
and play abit with other sports cars!! [

he**** and farce?? what rhyme is that? lol.

My wife likes to sit and smoke the tyres when pulling away at junctions 'ooh, I wondered where that smoke was coming from - i thought I had broken it!'

I don't reckon it is a woman thing.
