Hi from another new girlie
Hi Guys,
Yup, another new girlie here. I have a Dodge WC63 and am not a Jimmy owner yet, but it is arriving in 2 weeks yippee !!!
I am getting a GMC Workshop to convert into a Clubmobile. Can't wait.
I am a relative newbie to the MV and re-enacting world, only having done a few events this year, but am definately getting into the spirit of things.
Any more girls on here, or is it just me and Bernie?
Don't know much about the vehicles yet, but am learning ... slowly, but still learning.
Take care for now,
Cara

Hi and welcome Cara. Its nice to see the women involved. I just wanted to comment on where you live and how I have always wanted to visit. I would love to be able to see the Farnborough air show and then go on to Aldershot and absorb some of the WWII history there. All the best with the Clubmobile.
Cheers,
Barry

I hear it from the kids too much and now my wife has started in too....She doesn't get much traction though...as she drives a Mini-Van.
Now Honestly....Does this look like a Girlie Man Car????

Welcome to the site and driving a CCKW. Remember, women were regular truck drivers during WWII and recently I met a young lady that is currently serving in the U.S. Air Force and she drives a 2 1/2 ton at a local air force base.

Now that is an all around lady. My wife can only drive her 4 Runner and teach school. She has only been in my CCKW once and that was to the service station on a hot day. She said never again as it was too rough, too hot and too high up to get into.

My wife regularly drives the 42 GPW to various events towing the 37mm AT gun!
As soon as the K51 panel is done, I will teach her to drive it. Her father drove on in WW2
