On the weekend my partner finally had a drive of my MX-5 for the first time!
I'd always offer her a go when we went out, but she always declined. I think she's a bit nervous of it in a "what if I do something wrong" kind of way, but I'm pretty liberal with letting people have a go and was not concerned. Her car is a little Ford Fiesta manual (not the ST), which she loves for the feel of driving it.
We had a little drive around the local area, and she had fun. She thought I was pressing a button to make the turbo noises Now she knows it about the throttle and load. She found the gear shift quite difficult to, it's stiff and precise, but she was getting used to it by the end. It was a fun little drive, it's always a different experience from the passenger seat
Now I need to get out and give it a proper drive, it's been too long!
