There are certainly a few. Nowhere near the same numbers as the guys, but I guess social stereotyping does a good job of forming our interests at a young age... My girlfriend (Becky91) is on here

I will get round to finishing it at some point

My missus isnt a forum user but has an interest in cars, she's always moaning about wanting her 1300E back, and she chose a crewcab pickup truck when i asked her exactly why with only three kids between us she had a 7 seat people carrier.

Does it matter? We're about cars not gender

Personally, if I were a lass, I'd find all the 'hurhur let's have a pic of you and the car then' comments far less annoying if I knew I wasn't the only grrl on the site ;D Well, we hope to avoid those comments and just get on with things : 9.1) Women are petrolheads tooYeah, sure, they're all cute and pretty and fluffy-bunny-pink and talk about cats and babies and emotions and stuff, but they're capable of liking cars too. If they're interested in you they'll make it known away from here. So no perving, no patronising, no desperation and no attitude please. We're here to talk about cars, this isn't a leching or dating agency. There have been female members of this forum since the day it started... in fact the whole site was named by a lady... So yes, we have women on here, it shouldn't be a big deal

Fred is indeed, despite being called Fred, not a bloke. Definitely a male bias - never really sure why that is though. I was at Prescott Hill Climb today and there were quite a few female marshalls and a good number of female drivers. I believe the Vintage Sports Car Club is similar. Girls do like old cars - perhaps they just don't feel the need to shout about it as much as us fellas!

Although, that said, the women detest the 'best female' trophy that's been there from antiquity. They want to compete on even terms.
