Cars you just don't get used to.

I've owned my Anglia for about 7 years now and been driving it for about 3 of those years. I recently got it back on the road and as soon as I got back in it even though it had different seats I felt totally at home and comfortable with it. I took it up the road, gave it some stick and I felt totally comfortable doing so.

My girlfriend's car I've probably done just as many miles in it. We've had it for 3 or so years and it's been an infill car while mine have been off the road etc so I've used it for social and commuting, lanes, town and motorway so I should be totally at ease when driving it. Well the odd thing is I've been driving my Anglia now for 3 weeks. I haven't gone that far but as soon as I get back in the Renault it feels totally alien to me. I have no perception of its size, I can't judge its speed properly and I keep messing up where the basic controls are like the indicators.

So I may drive this car for a few weeks and get used to it again and go out for one short journey in my Ford Pop (really old classic car for those that don't know it), and this will completely mess me up again in Renault.

Does anyone else get this? I just cannot get used to the Renault.
