Board for questions about cars?

3 replies

Mumsnet is my primary source of information about other people's experiences and opinions so as I am considering what my next car should be I thought I would ask here - but I can't find a talk topic board about cars at all. There are some threads in chat/aibu and elsewhere with car related issues but no dedicated board unless it's hiding somewhere I can't spot within the "all talk topics" list.

Are we all really so steeped in sexist stereotypes that we leave all decisions about cars to our menfolk? Do I need to go and join another forum to ask my car related questions? Or is there room on mumsnet for this talk topic?

Hi @CoozudBoyuPuak we merged the Car topic a while ago but it was based on stats not because we thought it was too manly for us! Our intention when we make these changes is to boost activity on the whole and when threads are not getting many responses because a board is quiet, it makes sense to merge it with a busier one.

Fewer topics make the site much easier to navigate but, as always, we respond to what you, our users, want and if there's sufficient demand for a topic then we'd certainly consider adding it. Please start a thread (or keep posting on this one) and we'll monitor the situation.

We do understand the need, tbh given that the majority of car reviews seem to be written by men and we may have different/additional requirements.

@BattleofBeamfleot can we check - are you using advanced search?

@SoupDragon ๐Ÿ˜the chaos! I don't even want to THINK how rowdy the Archers lot would be in AIBU.

Hi @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet (love the name! ๐Ÿ˜‚)

I'm primarily using the app, so I guess not?

Thanks, @BattleofBeamfleot ๐Ÿ˜when I started at MN there were around 200 Beckys per square inch.

Yes, that'll be the app's fault but we promise better app days are ahead.
