If that had been my Mrs. she would have said, "Doesn't it go any faster!"
 Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

When I took my DAD out for the first proper mental spin he sounded like that, it wasn't worth my ball-sack to take my mum out and drive the
same......

Kids all grown up so waitng for the rest of the house to wake up. Good video that, reminded me of when my Mum (unfortunately no longer with us) asked
to have a go in my Lotus Europa Special back in the early 1970s. As she shouted at my Dad when he went over 55mph I took it very sedately, after a
couple of miles she said will this go over 100mph - I always wanted to go faster than that. Of course I obliged and she even wanted to look at the
speedo to make sure I wasn't fibbing. The next time my dad went over 55 she still shouted and when he protested she said "if you want to
drive me faster than that buy a proper sports car this Cortina is not safe to go fast"?
My wife shouts at me over 80ish - speed limits and all that, but when I bought a "proper" Westfield she shouted even louder at anything
over 40. You can't win.
Compliments of the season to all

My mother is another story, and nothing to do with cars frightened her. Got her first car, a banger at 14, way back in 1934, reconditioned it and
started driving it at 15, always did the driving on family trips, normally with foot flat on the floor cruising at between 80 and 100mph depending on
the car's abilities - didn't matter if it was tar or gravel roads. Never had an accident in her 70 years of driving except for one car
hitting her from behind at a robot and one Kudu jumping on her straight 8 Buick's bonnet (broke both of the Kudu's legs and my father had
to kill it with a pen knife - made good biltong tho).
Everybody said she was the best driver they had ever ridden with.
