Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

Well after the Indy show, I couldn't stop talking about it.:D:D:D Man I was stoked.:eek::D:);) Now i've been trying for sometime to get the little lady into this great hobby, and now after listening to me go on about how everyone is a great bunch of people willing to give advice, and down to earth, it got her thinking.:rolleyes::rolleyes: So I thought I would ask Cindy again, and she told me she was thinking about getting a truck, I was so HAPPY.:D:D:D I told her that would be so cool if she did. And I also told her she didn't have to to go to the extreme that a lot of us do, I would build it as she wants, and she can learn along the way. Let's hope we can get her a truck before too long, and she knows more females are getting into this hobby, and that didn't hurt anything either...keep your fingers and toes crossed.:p;):):D

Congrats big John !
I'm excited too now that Susan wants to get involved! Take your time looking for a truck, I'm sure something perfect will come up. It happened for me, been looking for the last 2-3 months and suddenly found a great truck to start with. Got it from reeve2007 . Great price, quick shipping , nice guy to deal with. Took it out of the box, put in a battery, ( radio came with good batteries in it :) ) and away she went!

Anyway, just think.... There could be 2 ladies driving at Indy next year , :cool::cool::cool:

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

I feel for ya Aaron. Be patient dude, she may come around to the RC side of " the force " :D:D

Make sure you bring her next year. Maybe when she see's 2 ladies trucking she won't feel so alone in a large group of guys and get the bug;)

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

It's great to see our ladies getting into this. We went to the toy store to buy either a Bruder excavator or Mack Granite. She chose the Mack and now she has her very own dump truck.:D It still needs some tweeking because the builder doesn't know what he's doing:o;) but she has had fun driving it around the house though...

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

That's awesome John..Just had our offical couple run together. It was awesome! Mine truck blows Marios' doors off, even with a head start and me being wobbly..though...

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

Mario- next thing to do is a 4:1 in her truck ;) before she rolls it

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

Wish I had the video cam running, you have no idea how close she came to side swiping me:eek::eek::eek: I felt like I was racing Kyle Bush for $%}}^ sake ! :mad: :). Her truck is so fast she almost pulled a Travis with Spudds trailer!:D:D. I still stand by my 4:1 , as Ric says, this is RC trucking not racing.......hmmmmm, I may get tired of getting my doors blown off and take my 4:1 out just to show who's boss:rolleyes::rolleyes: What's up with women and their need for speed! :)

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

This is your first warning John! Beware of what you wish for !!! :eek::eek::eek:

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

Well guy's and doll's, Cindy and I were talking earlier this evening, and I asked her which truck she may like. She looked at my Scania 6R20, and said that one. I started this over a year ago, so I mentioned I would let her have this if I can replace mine. She's thinking...;):):rolleyes::p She will pick the colors and what ever else she may want. I really think it would be awsome if there were husband and wife teams. BTW, I told her she will have to pick a trailer too.;)

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

Im sure your gonna have fun with the build John! I like the husband and wife teams idea .....only problem for me, Susan & Mario in short form is S & M trucking. :eek::eek::eek:.... Yes, we have to work on the name of our new trucking company. :).

Ps. This don't mean you can let the Kiss truck fall off to the wayside :(. You have a lot of followers who want to see it next year at Indy dude!

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

S&M trucking...interesting.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolley es: Now I am going to try to have "YOU WANTED THE BEST" at Indy next year, i'll just have to see how it goes.;) But I am definitely going to have the "SLUMLORD" there.:D:p;):)

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

i let my wife drive zeus and holy crap ..she is good being it was her first time .when i offered to let her drive again she said it was too stressful because she knows the story behind zeus.maybe i should try to convince her to get her own truck also,you never know next year at clifford we (guys) might be blown away by the ladies:D:D:D

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

Great new! I know that I am new to this site but I have built a couple trucks with help and it would be great to have a few more ladies to chat with at the meets. Those of us who do want to drive wouldn't feel so out of place.

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

I so know how she felt driving your truck. As girls we think about how much time, money and pride you put into the build. I havne't driven Marios', although he has offered. I had no problems driving mine for the 1st time- it was built, it's mine and if I break it then I have to pay to replace the parts and talk really sweetly to Mario to fix it because I don't know the ins and outs yet but will watch as he does the fixing...Look out Clifford show here we come......

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

ROCK ON LADIES.....ROCK ON!!!!!

Re: Cindy might be getting her first truck YAY!!!
 

You have a good catch right there Big John....Having a wife thats also interested in RC's are few and far between

Looking forward to seeing your builds Shy Girl

You said it buddy.:D:);):cool:

Alfy, Cindy is a very special lady for putting up with me all these years.:eek::eek: And I love her for it.;)

Yes, it would be really cool if a lot more ladies got into this great hobby.:) I've asked Cindy to become a member here on the board, and I think I can get her to do it.:D:):p
