Kat,

She also said that she wanted to be in a club, but the last time she turned up to a Porsche event (Porsche on the quay in Poole) she has someone pull up in a 911 behind her 924S and when he got out, he pointed at his 911 and said "Look what you can afford if you save up"... This kind of put her off Porsche owners... So I explained that TIPEC owners were different, and the 911 owner would be more likely to get the stick rather than the 924S owner, and it would be taken in good humour.

I had exactly the same situation when I bought my first Porsche which was a 924S, but not at a club meet rather in Tesco car park, with a real pri*k in a 996 cabrio, almost identical comment from him. My answer was to remind him of all the things I could still afford to buy and if he was representative of a "real" Porsche owner then I was glad I wasn't.

I also received some nasty comments from a guy at the Porsche meet at the Ace Cafe...and some funny looks at my 4inch heels, something about...'this isn't a date'! ?? wtf!

Well done Kat, first you rebuild your 944 after its accident and now you are a co-pilot on a cool rally.. Why can't more women be like this?!?!?

Well thank you :0) Why can't more women be like me? I don't know...I'm me because my Dad was great when I was younger and I loved his curly crazy hair, I have a feeling he actually wanted a son, so we played footie and I was always interested in helping him work on his cars, then I adopted a boyfriend who loved Beetles, my Dad helped with his tools and I bought a Beetle and drove a camper...and so on really, that's why I like cars, driving...etc. Although it hasn't always been plain sailing for me at all, it's been really tough alot of the time to carve out my way, being that most people here in the UK are miserable bas**ds! :shock:

anyway, looks like they won because right now my car is in peices and I can't get a job, even though I have tons of admin experience! hey ho!...

So getting my six year old daughter to help with the 911 is a good idea then?!

As long as she likes helping out on the 911 and you're not treating her like a slave...lol, Hmmmm it depends really, I can't say if it has improved my life or not but as long as she doesn't try and steal my 'future' boyfriend I'd say brilliant idea

A child can be an awesome tool in the workshop with their tiny hands able to gain access to recesses on Porsche cars that adult hands can never reach!

Unfortunately since my sons grew up I completely ran out of child slave labour

No problem with stealing boyfriends, she's obviously not ever allowed one and as for child slave labour, having just been learning about Victorians she was happy not to be cleaning chimneys!

The truth is she loves being in the garage, at three she was putting the socket set back in its moulded case, far better than the usual round/square/triangular peg in the hole toys.

You can only be proud of that kind of thing Andre, these are the magic memories which will be with you forever and will help you forgive them when they are older and drop out of college! lol
