Even the prospect of meeting a beautiful woman wouldn't work either Geezer.
Thanks Captnjack i was thinking along the same lines if it got too much for me.
Tigger! your a braver man than me
Thanks Anoree your advice is very helpful. It never occured to me to play music to cover the noise. If i start to feel shaky i will pullover and stop and he will have to catch a taxi. We will be leaving early in case that happens.
I'm seeing my friend tonight and i have decided to tell him about my phobia even though he may not want a lift after i tell him. Because he'll problably be more concerned about me than his flight. But i really want to do this just to see if i can and of cause to help a friend. Thanks again for your help friends.
