I'm giving my R33 to my mum... does that count as something?

I don't understand the segregation...we had girl targeted clubs and representation about 10 years ago, back when it served a purpose, because girls in car clubs were few and far between and probably weren't taken seriously as enthusiasts. But there are plenty on these forums and plenty within our paid clubs...I don't think many share the view these days that girls can't be car enthusiasts?

Reminds me of the girls on COD who put [MISS] or [GIRL] in their clan tag. 10 years ago it might have made you unique or got you attention, or you could have been a guy pretending to be a girl...but the ubiquity is too high these days to make a point of it and expect people not to think you're just vying for attention.

Actually I'm 100% with Birds here and I've met some really awesome chicks (plus others!) on SAU.

TBH I hate being singled out as a female and I would rather just be one of the gang and that's exactly how all my other friends treat me especially when they get to know me!

Even when my car was in PI mag, I didn't let them take a pic with me in it because I just wanted a normal article like everyone else.

True enthusiast right here! It's about the cars, not pencils and pencil sharpeners

Not that I hate on the girls who clearly play up their gender and draw attention to it to get ahead / gain status in male dominated environments (I'd probably be one of them if I were female), but they do enthusiasts within your gender a massive disservice. I certainly have more respect for those who are happy to be another guy amongst the guys. It's no doubt tough to pull this off at times, but the more girls like you getting around and doing it, the more seriously the rest of the community are likely to take your gender as genuine, regular enthusiasts. Pioneers for mediocrity! lol

I understand that OP might be experiencing singling out / not being taken seriously within her own social circles...and has presented what she feels to be an appropriate response/solution to it...but it just plays up the segregation that caused her problems in the first place, doing more harm than good. Car clubs are still traditionally male dominated environments; you have to expect hurdles as a female. But assimilation is much better for the cause than segregation!

^^ Well said!

The weekend I just spent away at Cootamundra with all my friends and the Motive crew proves this as well.

I'm also not saying that there's a problem with what OP has done, but both my friends and I consider me as being "One of the boys" and really, I think that's a much more fun way to be!
