Been looking for an appropiate car forum for awhile

Hiya folks, I have been looking for a general car forum for awhile, this one seems to tick all the boxes. The bonus is that I watch both Fifth Gear and Top Gear as well! It looks like a well established site you have here, you must have a lot of users because when I was signing up it seems like someone else had already taken the username that I normally use on the internet Not to worry though, I settled for a slight variation instead. I'll dive straight in to the action then, see you guys around P.S., I am mostly into normal cars but can appreciate exotica as well, I'm not sure whether you guys are just into super cars or appreciate the beauty of everyday cars as well.

Hi there guys.

I am from the UK and I have been lurking round this forum for a while now and decided to join. I love cars and I love top gear. One of the reasons I joined.

I am 17 and have just bought a MK5 Polo. I love the euro scene but money is tight so I will only be buying mods that do something for the performance.

See you all around

Chris

Hey all,
I signed up here a long time ago and has been trolling on and off, primarily because CrazyRussian540 keeps sending me links to different threads
I hail from maxima.org which I didn't mind until I ventured into the vastly-unmoderated off-topic section. Once I saw a thread dedicated to everyone's fecal matter, I started looking for a new forum and immediately thought of this, seeing as 1) I LOVE TG and FG, and 2) I've heard good things about this place from CrazyRussian540
