Hi all, not been on here in a while. I see the forum has had an update since I've been on...
Anyway, was driving through Wicklow on the N11 this morning, saw a grey Renault 19 16v Chamade, girl driver. Wondering if she's a member on here? Chet's missus maybe? |

Haha small world!
I didn't notice it was a 16v right away until I noticed how it seemed to be quite nippy. Not that either of us was driving over the speed limit (seriously) just that there was a lot of slowing down and speeding up again in 5th gear I'd imagine as traffic was getting heavier. Good driver I would say too from what little I saw admittedly  |

She's fine on the dualers, its just the roads around here that she's unfamiliar with that she puts the shits up me! |

Haha, does she drive too fast on the back roads? There's a lot of really dodgy backroads in Wicklow! |

Ah I see yeah, well I'm not a good passenger no matter who is driving. Don't like not being in control of the vehicle myself |

yes amber, along with drifting over into other peoples lanes, not seeing anything else on the road and pretty much nearly having a good smack every time we go out. |

Yes it was me
Would you be the chappie following me in the Blue Rover 220? English reg?
Now time to defend my driving...
I'm a good driver dammit! Over 6 years with a licence, no points and no accidents (that were my fault)
Ask Chet who nearly drove up the rear end of a car yesterday... |

No one with observation that good could be a bad driver!
Most Irish drivers never use their rear view mirrors |

I'd like to point out that the only reason she knew what car/reg it was was because you went by when she pulled into the left lane, not because on mirror usage  |
