Hello everyone!

I discovered this site when reading Andy Wilman's TG Polar Challenge blog. If he says this is a great place on the net, it must be...

I'm a second-year university student of history. My hobbies are enjoying Top Gear, literature, history, British comedy (old and new) and listening to & making music (I'm a pianist and guitarist).

I'm looking forward to many interesting discussions!

Hello all,

My name is Konrad. I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and have been a huge Top Gear fan ever since i can remember.

As a profession, i am a technician for Audi. For years i have been involved in motorsport, have served on pit crews, and unlike most guys who chased girls in their teenage years, i spent mine in the garage building fast cars.

Having spent many years around fast cars and race tracks, i feel that my car should reflect the years of self abuse, and devotion to speed. This is why i drive an '05 Volvo S40 2.4i. Chicks dig the crash test ratings.

I am happily in a relationship with my loving and wonderful girlfriend, but sometimes my obsession with Top Gear, and mostly Clarkson, makes her think otherwise.

Hello all!

Can't quite remember how I found this site, but I'm very glad I did!

Big Top Gear fan - loved the show for about 2 years now.
Not long been driving myself, only passed my test in July. My car is a '99 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 - slightly slow to get going, but hey, it gets me about fine, and it's great for a first car!

Um, that's about it really, just hello again!

Hi jellykitten26

Are you a male or a female? Hard to tell with that nickname If you are a female, join the not a dudes group and you'll get a pink name and title.

Have fun at FG

I swear we should be creating a group called "Horny members of FG that jump off a cliff at the moment a lady says hello."

But anyways jellykitten.

Nothing wrong with saying welcome to a new member and making suggestion mate!

I just think you got lucky in that she is a female and you didn't manage to offend some poor new male member by pointing out how ambiguous the name was

Oh, and welcome new members!

But it is like you guys are a kids in a candy store.

"OMG. Look there's a female over there!!!!"

Rushes over everything and anything in place with no care in the world.

"Hi, you're a female. Thank you for breaking up the sausage fest."

We welcome male members too, its just that not every female who joins is aware of the not a dude group.

Also, I detect a hint of jealousy because you missed out on saying hi to a female...

Well, I dunno if anyone keeps track of all 60 pages on this thread, but here goes...

Been watching Top Gear since I've first been exposed to it when they played it on Discovery last year (maybe longer now?) I stumbled across finalgear.com searching to download episodes, because I was hooked. I currently have every episode since the 1 hour reformat, and just noticed the new Polar Challenge episode in HD, so I just watched my first TG in HD! Hopefully it's a sign of more HD torrents in the future...? Well, just decided to sign up to the forums and keep up to date with my long time favorite show, Top Gear.
