Mate driving my car without me in it? No chance.

Only people that have driven mine without me in it are my wife (sparingly) and my Dad (I was driving the moving truck)

Selected mates have driven the Stag when I am in it... but that is only because if they do something stupid or that I don't like, they are well within striking distance ;)

:rofl: .... that wasn't angry driving mate. Sorry I scared you though, I thought you like going fast :P

Three things you never lend to a mate. Your Mower. Your Motor. and Your missus.

Why? Because they all come back f*cked.

hell no, i wont even let my brother drive my car without me in the passenger seat and even then i dont let him boost it

ive seen the way my mates drive round in there shitty cars so id hate to see wot they would do if given the keys to a 600hp gtr

I only let my brother drive my car now, i used to let me mates drive it until a mate of mine borrowed my other mates r34 gtt and wrote it off around a corner. that allso broke up their long term friend ship.

Include chain saw

lol

just spoke to the gf and the 31 is dieing slowly, heater core is leaking into the footwell and the rear wheel bearings are almost dead too

soooooooooooo....... i said she can drive the stag while im in South Africa (only till monday tho, few 31's getting around here which is cool)

its ok, she knows how to drive a lowish car and the previous owner had kurbed each wheel too :)

I only let my parents drive my car, & they both hated it!

So now only I drive it :laugh:

i take it the suspension wasnt "squishy" enough and it was steering way to true and accurate for them ? :laugh:

thats what mine said anyway :)

My philosophy is basically the same as Nick (GoldZilla). My dad has driven all of my cars (and could any time he asked, hell I drove his for years without breaking them!). Mum could if she wanted (the Stag), but I doubt that the situation would arise.

She won't even attempt to move the Z, even though it's auto and practically child-proof providing you don't bury the right pedal...

My wife drives the Stag all the time, she's in it now. She's driven the Z plenty of times too (I always have to remind her the speedo is in mph). She isn't proficient in a manual, so hasn't driven the DR, but once she has some experience (in her 1.4L 1200 ute) that will be fine too.

I don't think any of my mates have driven my cars in years - they all have company cars with private use so the need isn't there.

Oh, and the in-laws have driven the Stag too, (they own a Forester GT, so an AWD turbo wagon is hardly a novel idea)

I'd let most people drive my car with me in the passenger seat once.

It's a rarity I let them a second time. If they are given a second chance then sure, they can take it whenever they want as I obviously trust their driving.

Some of my friends I wouldn't let sit in my car let alone drive it.

Dont mind my "best" mates taking my car for a spin, if you cant trust them who can ya trust?? but certainly wouldnt let any tom dick or harry go for a spin in it...

I only ever let one mate drive the stag but that was because I wanted to hear it from the outside and my hands were filthy from working on his car. :ninja:

My old man went for a run down to the shops in it and decided it was "a bit hoony", Mum refused to drive it, My sister enjoyed riding shotgun but didn't want to drive it.

When I had my R33, I only ever let 1 or 2 of my closest mates drive it. Even when I sold it, there were no test drives until a substancial deposit was received.

I actually tried teaching my girlfriend how to drive stick in it aswell, but thats about it! hhaha :ninja:

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
