I've just checked and I am most definitely a female! Like Heather, don't do the attaching of bits - I have a brother who's a mechanic and a 'other half', so as they say, don't have a dog and bark yourself!
I do muck if it is being worked on and quite enjoy tinkering with any bits I am 'allowed' to. We've also got a Land Rover, so always helping stick new bits on that - it's a new roof this weekend, had a slight scrape with a tree!
I started using the forum as I had a particular problem and having used lots of other forums for work, although mainly for software and camera issues, applied the same method - and hey, it worked! Now, can't keep me away.
BTW Xiter, this personal interest in females you refer to..........?
