Male V's Female Drivers

Until very recently Hubby was an automotive engineer, working on incredibly fast and incredibly expensive cars. In order to test ‘things’ on such cars frequently meant driving at speeds of 150 – 200 miles an hour, around various test tracks across Europe.

Before engineers are allowed to do such high speed testing, they must pass an advanced power car driving proficiency test (not the kind you can do with BSM). Hubby is therefore very proud of the fact that he’s accredited and has passed such grueling tests (he actually got stopped by the police when having his final test on one of the Surrey A roads – and still passed!!).

Whenever we go anywhere (unless it’s coming back from the pub) Hubby always drives the car!

We went into town yesterday and spotted a super parking space. Hubby reversed in, pulled out, reversed back in, pulled back out and this continued for a couple of minutes. Finally, he put on the handbrake, opened the car door and said, ‘You do it’. 30 seconds later, I smugly got out the car after parking it in one single smooth maneuver!
