...sat in the passenger seat of your own car? Or even better..the rear seat.

Is it just me or does it feel really weird. Even if it's parked it's like suddenly you don't have control. It's not anything like sitting in someone elses car. I don't know why but it's a really strange feeling. Just get in the other side and close the door for a minute.

But maybe it is just me.....weird

Yes GT, it is just you.....weird

(just kidding - LOL)

I sit in the back to clean the top of the inside of the rear window and it's certainly a different perspective.

If you see yourself get in & drive off while you're still sitting in another seat - now that WOULD BE weird. A bit of a Doctor Who moment!

I find if someone else is driving my car and i'm in the passenger seat, i'm over cautious of how close they are to the kerb!
Not many people like driving my car when i'm a passenger

If you ask the forum for an opinion of your latest modification, please don't take it personally if I declare a distaste. You did ask for my opinion and I gave it.
If you ask for 'Good feedback only' then I will keep quiet unless I like it.

Oh right, so you tell your jokes in the car too then do you!

I've let a few friends drive my car and, most terrifyingly, my mother. I hate it. It's funny how much faster your 220 seems when you're not in control. I'm rather used to it now so never think it seems quick. Very different story from the left side of the car. Feels like a Lambo from there!
