LOL
Mine is too noisy and no french women I've met wants to drive it. Phew just as well.
MInd neither do 2 Boxter owning mates claiming it was too jumpy 8)
And you just crossed it.
Lent my wife my Z for 6 weeks - brave or what?!!

It's the alloys and the parking dings I'm worried about. She can't/won't reverse into any parking spaces, so has to go it forwards :roll: I'll get it back as soon as she gets her new car ( Toyota Yaris SR) as she wants to have a play with the touch screen gizmo's it's got when connected to her phone. ( nav/internet/texting/music etc) also she already whining about the amount of fuel it's using.It didn't help with me using the last half a tank on a 140 mile round trip doing double the national speed limit fairly regularly.She loves roadsters as she had an MX5 2 years ago and had the foof down most of the time. It's soooo hard not giving the car a walk round inspection every time she comes home, but I trust her, she's a good, if steady driver and anything that gets broken can be easily fixed. I don't wrap the thing in cotton wool, so I don't expect her to either.
Brave? Stupid more like!
I wouldn't let a partner drive it! I only trust myself with it. Although I have had another forum member drive it, but then again he drives an M so it would be hard not to trust him with it really.
So I guess I only trust myself and other Z owners, so I should marry someone off the forum :lol:

I know what you mean about seeing someone else drive it - its a nice feeling watching it in all its glory as you never get to see that being the driver..still it doesnt happen to often for me as the nerves wouldnt take it!! once in a blue moon really.

)The GF very rarely drove the roadster only if she really had to(sevicing or MOT),but she has made it plainly clear that she will never drive the coupe she perfers been chauffered around in it,and that suits me fine 
She has a Fiat 500 and that is enough power for her :lol:
