Porsche driving Women on Pistonheads !

[timmo]

Driving into work each I see so many women driving Porsches !
why are there none on Pistonheads ?

I would welcome their opinions ( and a breath of fresh air ! )

recently seen women in a GT2,Cayman S,997s.. the list goes on

[timmo]

Is it because we have a million and one pages about " Pit Lane Babes "
under General Motorsport ?

does this offend them ???

If you were a woman with a Porsche, would you want to spend your time getting groomed by us lot?

[timmo]

Well .... if they drove a 996 Turbo

Its the New BMW!, Cayman & Boxsters are the new Z3/4s, 997s are the new 325ci's and the Cayenne is the new X5. GT2's and TT's are obviously the M3's.

Jessica Wabbit drives a GT2..

[RaeB]

Can't see her surfing PH...too busy shopping.

Said in jest, but not far wide of the mark in London at least

Its the way Porsche have learnt how to make money..produce loads of cars that are not exclusive at exclusive prices.Make them easy to drive so that, 'dare i say it'..women will like driving them as well hence quite a few of them do.Not many women are likely to post on an enthusiasts forum when the main reason they bought the car is because it looks nice.A bit of a generalisation but i find it hard to believe that many women are actively searching for a 964rs,993gt2 to trundle about in..i think a Boxster 's' would suffice for most.

" . . . and a white wine or a fruit based drink for the lady."

Maybe the figures 964, 993, 996, 997 should be suffixed by A.D to reflect the fact that some of the owners live in the Dark Ages . . .

My partner loves her Porsche but thinks I am 'sad' as well for reading PH!

I've seen a woman driving a silver GT2 a couple of times near Tower Bridge. Short numberplate with an "X" in it.

Made me feel woefully inadequate....

Funny that - mine's the same. She is more scared of the RS than the LE, mainly because the RS exhaust note gets serious at 4k revs and she thinks I'm about to hit warp drive, which I would never do with a passenger on board . Getting out of a 'situation' in the LE is MUCH more difficult than in the RS.

[slaav]

I think I can answer where all the girls are.... "Not being a saddo on petrolheads or whatever you losers call it"

She can spend hours on end surfing aimlessly 'shopping', but I am not allowed to have a laugh reading about other boys with toys? How does that work then?

ps - Must say liked the look of JessicaWabbit's............ house and car!

[rimmer]

at least some women have a good taste in cars.
