Default Letting your other half drive the S

Couple of weeks ago I thought it was about time to let the girlfriend have a drive of the S.....after months of trying to persuade me. She loves the car very much and is thinking about getting next year.

Now, when we get to a nice long, CLEAR stretch of road I say to her "Go on..... take it past 6000rpm " But to my dissapointment she'll get as far as 5000rpm and then change gear ! She will never take it past 6000rpm and experience the joys on VTEC !!!

She always has a go at me when I do it and I just reply "If you don't like it... you can walk the rest of the way !! "

If only she would just go that extra bit further !! Maybe coz she a freelander diesal driver

I will suceed tho...I will make her do it... oh yes...I will make her do it !!!!
