Hi, my name is Elaine (canadianfan)
I live in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada and have an unhealthy obsession with classic British cars. My ultimate dream car would be a 1964 E-type Jag (we call them XKE Jags over here).
In keeping with the motoring vein, my home town is the headquarters of General Motors (ok, I know, probably nothing to be proud of).
I've been obsessed with cars and airplanes ever since I was a little girl.
Hope I'm welcomed, despite the fact that my home town makes crap cars (and yes, I own a GM car and can attest to just how bad they are!)

Default Hi! I'm new and check out this car!

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent Top Gear fan and new to this forum. A big hey! to Mclightning95 for introducing me to the site. I live in Maryland and have a couple of collector cars...'73 Datsun 240Z, '72 Mercury Comet, and '85 Monte Carlo SS.

Thought I would post this link to an awesome production electric car that does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. They should profile this on one of the shows.

http://www.teslamotors.com/

Glad to be here!

Melody

Name: Alex

Recently graduated from Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA (USA) with a computer engineering degree. I am about to start working at GlaxoSmithKline in the Network Application Awareness department (basically, I make sure the network performs as best as it can).

I remember a friend showing me a clip of the convertible people carrier one day, and from then I was hooked on TG. TG is, along with Fifth Gear, the only real TV I actually watch nowadays; most other shows are rubbish or boring...

I am a technology geek and spend entirely too much money on the stuff. Also, someday, I'd like to own a Mitsubishi Evo, in blue, since Clarkson said it was better than the STi . I also do a bit of web design and am a member of Kappa Theta Epsilon, a national honor society which promotes cooperative education programs in universities across the United States.

Howdy!

My name is Ryan, relatively new to Final Gear, but not new to Top Gear. This site is great though, I love that I finally found a site that has top gear episodes...youtube was getting old.

A little bit about me...I'm a sophomore at Penn State Univ. studying mechanical engineering. I'm currently driving a black 2004 Jeep Liberty (Free Car..not my choice ), and recently purchased a 1968 Chevy Impala SS (454 bored .030", 4 Wheel Drum, 4 spd Muncie, <10 mpg). In the future I'd like to get maybe a used 03 or 04 A4 to use as a DD instead of the Liberty.

Hello!

I've just joined the boards. Vital stats: I'm a Cheesehead, 25 and female.

I just got into TG on BBC America, to be specific the British Leyland Challenge episode which had me in hysterics. I've been watching since.

I hope I will enjoy my stay here!!

Hey everyone! I'm Robert. I live in San Marcos, CA (The most northern part of SD County) Im a big Top Gear fan but having little success with episode downloads. I drive a 1997 Honda Prelude and I love it. Got a boring job working in manufacturing at General Electric making water filter elements. Currently going to school to get my Associates Degree in electrical engineering. I like music, cigars, youtube, driving, going to the gym, and saving up for my scuba diving hobby.

Just saw this thread.

I'm Paul, German guy living in Brazil. Currently studying for my MD degree. So I'll be a physician soon!
I live in Rio de Janeiro (But I really miss Germany), about 15 minutes from the Jacarépagua Race Track.
I Own an Chevrolet Astra 2.0, a Corsa 95 and a Kart ( And a lot of spare engines for the little one )
I like music ( I play Piano and guitar ), computers, cars and alcohol (althought the last ones not together).

Have been in more race-driving schools than my mind allows me to remember.
And I consider myself to be a very friendly guy, and I'll be more than happy to help anyone I can.

PS: Sorry for the bad english, It's a little rusty.

Hiya everyone!
I'm Julian from Sydney Nova Scotia and I've been an avid fan of Top Gear ever since i watched my first episode late last year and about the only interesting thing i do is design cars for the PC game nr2003. I hope to become an every day sort of member here and cant wait to start actually posting on here.

also I'm a believer that Top Gear should do a road trip across Canada though i know it'll likely never happen.
