This may sound sexist but I don't mean it to. I occasionally chat on MSN with Jenn, and it very quickly became obvious that she's a car nut. Obviously most RR forum members are male, but I think it's great that women are enthusiastic about cars too. Jenn and I were chatting last night,and the conversation we had led me to wondering how many women there are on this forum. I'm really lucky as my wife is also enthusiastic about cars, although maybe not as much as Jenn.

A few women and lowpolovixen have come and gone on this site, problem is theres such a drought of women on here that on a couple of occasions when one has signed up, intensive efforts have gone into chatting them up, with the result that they have cleared off never to be seen again. I'm thinking of an american lass with a crazy 20v turbo Mk1 Scirocco, that was quality.

Hey i'm only joking. LPV's polo is pretty cool, even I acknowledge that. So fair play to her.

I think a lot of the language around here assumes most of the readers are male- to the tune of 'gets lots of fanny' etc, which I don't particularly find offensive but others may, and in some respects it's like listening in on the boys locker rooms- which I never did, or spyed, ...honest. but all the same this place, and the people, as I was telling daverapid, is the bees knees, there can't be another forum like it, mainly because most of the worlds English speaking (car) loons are already accounted for on here. I can't wait for CARS to put faces/wheels to names, although I may just cower behind the mini in shyness.

must say, i've never heard anyone on here say they car 'gets lots of fanny'!! TBH skodas, imps, datsuns etc tend to struggle in the 'fanny' stakes i find. Certainly slappin my mazda 929 keys on the counter in posh wine bars has failed to get me very far up to now.

Okay not an exact quote, perhaps it would be more along the lines of 'unlikely to' get lots of fanny... unless it's with a girl with a soft spot for retro beasties, and their cars

My wife isn't keen, unless I'm hauling DIY materials in the back of the car.......but my 3 & a half year old daughter loves cars. We walked over to a local garage where the owner was working on is 1970 Camaro, she said 'it's fantastic' and I told him she reads Custom Car. He was amazed! My 18 month old son is of course a petrol head as well. The day goes like this:
'Morning son' 'Car'.

well guess I'm a bit diffent from the rest of the women haveing got 7 cars one bus and too 4x4 s as a women ive put up with loads of poo as most people in the v.w. sence think your thick (ok so i cant spell) ,
after my hubby went on along hoilday i was lefted to run his body /jig shop and trust me i learnt fast ! after five years of running it myself along with staff i can weld ,drop gearboxs and enegines out and I'm only 4ft 10 and trust me lads I'm no dyke looking women
i think if your entering a mans world (i.e.cars) then you have to be one of the lads ,enjoy yourself and don't take things to hart,put up with people swearing and calling women "birds" and just keep going along until most men can see your as good as them if not better
ill put up some pics next week when i start my daily after i have change the wings doors and filled the side with lead! and preped the full car ready for painting all myself as my other half can not do it after loseing alot of cash after we had a company go under on us the only way its going to get done is if i do it

It's just conditioning really, proportionally there are far more males in the scene than females... So novelty value can be overwhelming for some of the male fraternity sometimes.
If somebody has got something valid or interesting to say, I'll listen. My partner said earlier on that she'd like to sell her Mk2 Capri and get another Mk1 for summer use, and she'd never consider coming on here... This is not a boys club, it's a car forum, and long may it continue to be so ;D
