why your mum shouldn't drive your car

i apologies to all the girls, but my mum proved to me that women really can't reverse.

she was driving my car yesterday, and some how with in 30 sec of being in it she reversed into somethign and put a f**kin great dent in the rear bumper, i'm not even sure how she managed it.

so now i'm in need of a new bumper....seeing as she knows nothing about cars, what do you think the chances of getting 2 16v bumpers out of her

how much would a pair be?

and just to make my day worse lol, my window has broken for the 3rd time.......and its broken inside the door....and it was raining, my friends found it very funny!

yeah get some 16v bumpers outta her as she knows nothing!! my window broke when it was raining but i was lucky because i was able to put it in a rented garage!!
my dad was the first person to curb my alloys when i had a polo!

Moral of that story......
'never let your mum go behind the wheel, especially if you've spent alot of money on your car!'

hope it gets sorted soon mate!

I don't mind my mum driving it, it's my dad I won't let near it after my mate told me about my dad leaving his VTR for dead driving my brother's old astra

my mom wont drive mine, the once she did to pick my dad up from the train, she got in, started the car, and my music automatically came on (as it should do), she got p***d off cus it was hip hop and loud, couldnt find the off button, so she taped every button, changed all my settings, and ended up re-setting everythin! hell knows what she did. after that, she can stick to her peoples carrier!

no she doesnt normally drive it.....she was turning it round on our drive, how she managed it who knows. its amazing what damage a paper box does.

she sounded just like me trying to make excuses when she tld me, she did my me laugh "oh, did i i didnt realise" which soon changed to "oh but i didnt hit it hard"

made a nice change having a go at her...

she has been warned about putting my alloy anywhere near a curb...i'ld rather pay the fine for being park to far away lol.

think i might get her to remove a few more dents while shes at it haha

My Mum is on my insurance as a named driver. I do trust her, but she drives my car in exactly the same way that she does her diesel Bora. In other words, starves the car of revs!

haha i know, i'm like, u should have changed gear way back there!!
my dad is on my insurance just in case the car needs to go to the garage (its not unusual

) while i'm at work!
or in case i get injured at work, like last xmas i sprained my back playing football and couldn't actually drive!!

sprained back, wow that must hurt!!!!

my mums on mine because i refused to share with my bro, so he's on hers and she can drive mine. if she wasnt paying for most of it, i think i'ld ake her off now.

believe me it was very very painful!! i was playing footie and i just felt a niggle and it became a bit awkward to run so i went off the pitch to see if it would just go away and my back just stiffened up and i could hardly walk either!!
not a very nice experience!!
