chris2o2 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 i'm a bit intimidated by it if they thrust thier knowlege aggressively in by face, but if they are modest and relaxed and secure about their knowledge and the passing on of it thats cool. i met this female racing driver once and asked her out for a cup of tea. she declined my offer. She knocked you back , good god what a silly silly woman . She regrets it now i bet my man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I don't really get the thing about I'm a and I know a lot about cars- Please accept me...??! I clearly don't know a lot about cars and I'm a bloke, so I guess that makes me a homo. If you talk sense and are knowledgeable it will come across, whether in person or on a forum. If you don't know what you're on about, nice people, kind people on here will give you a gentle reminder of your station. Now then, I'm off to make Carl S a nice cup of tea.

ellis Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 as long as they can drive then its all cool Why? There are plenty of blokes who can't drive but own them! And as for your later posts criticising tasteless mods, people in glass houses etc! I think its great if women are into cars, sooner go for a blast round a country lane with a woman who likes cars and driving than spend 8 hours of my life that I'll never get back looking at handbags and sparkly bits!

AndrewOW Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Who really cares what gender you are, just join in and have some fun. If someone asks a decent question, listens to the advice, uses a little common sense, then all will be well IMO. Except jazz1 and CoolsBlue that is, and probably MattH, a bit.

adnanshah247 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 didnt Jeremy Clarkson have something to say on the lines of this. Apparently any woman racing driver etc. is always targeted as a sex symbol etc. I think what it is, its not the norm for women to be into cars. my girlfriend passed her test recently and i let her drive the sup. straight away people were starring (the car does get attention) but when they saw a girl driving it everyone was turning around. All i can say is at japfest, the women were drifting better than the men........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Surely if you are paranoid about being treated differently due to your gender you could have not mentioned your gender on the forum and put up a different avatar and then no one would know and this pointless thread would not have been required. The most annoying thing about some women on this forum is their need to point out their gender and then complain about being treated differently because of it. How many people on the forum do you assume are men because they don't have stereotypically femanine user names and avatars. There are many women on the forum who do not play the gender card. The best way to be treated as an equal car enthusiast is to act like one. Rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireRZ-S Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 i'm not playing the gender card i simply asked your opinons on girls into cars and i merely stated that i thought i wasn't getting replies in my thread because i'm a woman. Homer pointed out to me that this is the way it is here and i said that was grand. Where have you seen me moaning about it since?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire! you seem like a lovely lil girl and i know things like that can put you down but seriously dont let it get to you. forget about it, enjoy yourself. i mean i have never looked down upon any man or woman. if anyone does look down on you or patronise (dont know if i spelt it right) you then ignore it, at the end of the day its your car not anyone elses. to all those people show them your not bothered and they themselves after a while they will feel stupid.

Yes i am lovely no i just wanted opinions what ye though of girls into cars thats all to be honest its your opinion at the end of the day and i haven't went mental with anyone about it. Homer has cleared things up for me so tis grand . I do get the odd comments from lads saying oh is that your boyfriends car or when you drive past you mite see a girl flick her hair or something when she hears you and to their horror they see its a girl driving . love that. i'm not at home every nite cribbing about it i just thought be a good thread to see wat ye had to say and also hear from the other women also.

You will notice that a few of anyone's thread just die without any comment. It does depend who's online at the time, and if they haven't been on for a while, depends if they can be bothered to trawl through all the new posts when they get back on, IMO, of course. Maybe it would be worth you 'bumping' your threads once in a while, just to jog people's memories. Anyway, most would do anything to watch you eat a Creme Egg, so keep that in mind too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with girls knowing lots about cars: quite the opposite, in fact! To get helpful responses to technical questions in any internet forum, the questions need to be as detailed as possible and with reasonable spelling. People who don't do these often get ignored. Bad spelling/illegible posts for non-techie questions illicit lots of responses, but they don't tend to be helpful to the OP either. Claire: I've seen some of your posts, and it sounds like you know your way around cars and computers. Just ensure you ask clear questions if you want a technical response.
