Would you let another guy take you're girlfriend/missus out?

LOL I had this argument with a mate who wanted to use my 260RS for a quick trip up the road.

He asked if he could borrow my ride. I said NO! and he was cut. Until I asked him the above - Would you let another guy take your girlfriend out? LOL

So am I alone in this? Do you let mates/friends use your wheels?

He says I have a problem. Damn straight I do. Just as I would never let another guy take out my girl, you've got the same chance of taking out my wheels.

:(

It really depends for me - if my friends own equally nice cars (or at least take care of their cars) and they would lend them to me if I needed, then I would consider it.

Granted, it would have to be someone I knew well, or at least absolutely know for sure that they were trust-worthy.

There are quite a few friends and relatives that I have no hesitation in letting drive my car, and others that I know equally well who I refuse to let drive my car! In fact, with one of my best friends, I've offered to let him drive on a number of occasions, and a few weeks ago when we were out delivering something to another friend of mine, he asked me for the keys, and I gave them to him without hesitation. It's an extreme rarity that I let someone drive my car if they ask me for a run in it.

The boy drives my car but he's the only one other than me. Unless it's someone I really trust, or like the others have said drive a car of similar standard then no-one drives it but us. It's just not worth the hassle if something goes wrong. You know what it's like when bad things happen between friends... Even when it's a genuine accident, that kind of stuff NEVER ends well :)

The ex girlfriend. The answer was always no. Can i take her to the coast... no Girl in car = mess in car. Etc etc. Maybe i was being unreasanable but f**k me, the car was much more important and i give it more attention then any female.

Friends, no. Best mate, yes but like goldzilla, its similar circumstances.

I've only ever let my gf and my mechanic drive my car (she's on here though, owned an R33 and now a Onevia) and only a select few times when I was in the passenger seat. Even then she didn't drive very fast because she was scared of scratching my perfect wheels, good girl! :D

My brother has asked many times, and every time the answer has been no.

As for my folks I think both my mum and dad would have trouble getting in and out of the Bride seat, lol!

i've let a couple of my mates drive my 31 but i thrash that worse than they ever could and its the gf's car now so i dont really care too much about it

i let me gf drive my 32 a couple of times, i was in the car for most of them and she needed it to get to work once. i was more worried about where it was parked than her driving it

she hasn't driven the stag yet tho even though the insurance agreed to cover her too (for no extra fee cos i told them it was my car and she would rarely drive it)

both my parents want a go in the stag too but they will have to wait till i get back (currently in south africa and they let me put it in the garage so i kinda owe them for that)

i dont think may ppl will get a go in the stag, not untill the novalty wears off but thats gonna take a long time :D

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
