bronzee Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Welcome to this forum Rob. I knew I recognised the username. My Dad (87) is a big car fan and he was the one who started all this! Speaking on behalf of the women car lovers (and I'm sure Nixy and Bronzee will back me up on this), I really think you should let your daughter have a go, isn't it universally known that females are the better drivers (don't know why I can't keep my mouth shut on a predominantly male forum ) Yip. If your daughter is that fearless Rob, she might be rather quick around the track as long as she keeps it tidy. My dad loved his powerful cars, but I've kind of taken the obsession to a new level.

No dont do it! You wont get your car back! I let the missus drive the Evo triangle last Wales run on the Saturday and nows shes always moaning she wants a go at the driving! Takes time away from me driving, boooo! To be fair though, shes not half bad, better than most of my male friends who claim they are good drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Gaskin Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Vid of my eldest in the 240 at Japfest last year - pushing a 300 softtop a bit too hard. The V8 240 (black bonnet) is also featured a bit later. Plus a picture of my (100k mls) 350, they don't make em like they used to - thank god!

bronzee Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Neat vid Rob, love seeing 240's blatting around the track. Quite frequently when we have our track days, the 240's will often have the fastest times around the track, reasonably worked, but not extremely so. No dont do it! You wont get your car back! I let the missus drive the Evo triangle last Wales run on the Saturday and nows shes always moaning she wants a go at the driving! Takes time away from me driving, boooo! To be fair though, shes not half bad, better than most of my male friends who claim they are good drivers You know the answer to that, she needs a toy too. One of the guys in the club here, a few times when he's handed his 350 over to his fiancee at track days, she's carved quite a few seconds of his lap time, her lines are clean and smooth. Mind you she beat most of the guys easily when we went clay bird shooting too, and she's only tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Gaskin Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 As I said before the weight is the main issue with the 350. Although thought to be a big car when current the 240 is quite small and responsive compared to modern cars. I've worked on mine a bit too - and still doing so at the moment to take even more weight off. Lady drivers - most don't find driving as 'natural' as men (unlike ice skating, horse riding etc - don't mean to be sexist here!). They can be very good and I know a few who are, in fact I've service (now now!) a lady crew on international rallies. Put many men to shame. My daughter is a slick driver and what I like most is that she is great at manouvering and parking, something I 'pushed' when she was learning to drive. My mother-in-law is pathetic, embarassing! My wife doesn't drive and I have three cars So how many 350Z women drivers are there, I've not seen one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though, shes not half bad, better than most of my male friends who claim they are good drivers You know the answer to that, she needs a toy too. If she could afford to run one, I would let her have mine when I get a 370z in a year to two's time. She just cant afford to run it. Maybe in a few years though. No denying she is a good driver though, given her lack of experience in the Zed, she was lapping the Evo triangle rather quickly in the rain, faster than most did it the following day in the dry!
