Maggie wants the truck......

[KERRSURF]

...if the snow arrives...

She passed her test a while ago (2 weeks) and now wants lessons from me in the truck on some slippy stuff (off to the mud soon I think) so she can drive the 7 miles to work if the weather gets bad. She has a Honda Accord at the moment which I will be relegated to if the snow kicks in.


So do I give in or keep my truck?

[yoshie]

I also have a 2nd gen for sale

[GRASSMAN]

Option 3,

Sell the Onda Squeeze box, and buy her a Surf of her own.



Gman.

[KERRSURF]

I did think of that option Brian, wanna PX?

Time to get Maggie her own Truck I think Alan but be warned in the first 12 months most new drivers will have accident of some sort, so make sure it's an oldie but goodie just in case ...
Good luck Maggie

Cos short cuts can cost more in the long run"

She needs her own truck mate, you know it makes sense .

[Predictable Bob]

Definitely get her one of her own - if you don't you'll find yourself permanently in the commuter wagon (Unless the Surf needs filling up !)

I know cos I do 25k a year in a Ford Fawkus and about 500 in the Surf ...

[lawsy]

I agree with the majority - get her her own truck

Mrslawsy doesnt drive yet, but we're even thinking about one for her when she does..

If you're going to have an accident the Surf is probably good to do it in!
Probably only second to a chieftain tank!

[mckirdy-services]

As everyone else has said, get her a nice 2gen, as nearly everyone has a knock or two in there first year and with a surf it won't write the car off.

[JUDWAK]

just give ger the truck keep em safe dude ya know its far the best

[KERRSURF]

I'd like to get her a 2nd gen of her own but I'm not sure she really wants to give up her Honda.
Will have a look around and get her driving mine first, see how she gets on.

[blackpoolsparks]

YES, you definitely let her use the truck when its snowing !!!!
I do (Vanessa, not Maggie that is)

Saves me the trouble of having to explain to my kids about why their mum is now crippled,due to a traffic accident, because I was a tight git and wouldn't let her use it.

In fact I insist she uses it whenever she takes the kids out without me. Snow, rain or dry, whatever.
I feel much safer knowing they're driving in a 2 ton lifted tank rather than her Saxo.

LET HER USE IT !!
