My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
My girlfriend came over today to check out my chassis. she had helped out alot on the restoration (can be seen on my website). She asked if she could drive it and i said sure. She can kind of drive a manual but not 100% yet. She has practiced on my 1991 Jeep Wrangler 5 Speed.
Anyways, heres the link to her driving the Chassis for the first time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU8CSph_w-o HERES THE LINK TO ME DRIVING AND HER FILMING: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHO0jcTvKf0 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Last edited by Modelakid31; 10-26-2011 at 04:31 PM. |

You're a lucky man, Mike. Be careful, it could cost you a lot of money!

Both the car and the girlfriends are keepers... and they both can cost you money. You are a fortunate young man.

Looks like fun, my wife hasn't even driven mine yet after owning it for three years. I keep asking her...

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
My wife says she'll ride in my car "when it's finished". So, when is anyone ever "finished" restoring their car? But next year my daughter is sixteen, and maybe I'll teach her to drive a stick shift in my A...

Doug, My daughter is turning 16 next year also and we have the same plans. I just hope I can get my coupe done in time.

Re: My girlfriend drove the model a today >.<
It's good that everybody learns to drive a stick trans early in their driving life as you never know when you need to in an emergency. Same goes with the Model A and double clutching. You never know when you're out driving and something befalls your ability to drive it back. My wife just drove 113 miles with fifteen other A's Sunday on our progressive dinner/garage tour. It was a nice relief after I drove 120 miles Saturday with a different club on a color tour.
