Hello from Nottinghamshire!

I've been browsing these parts for a few years, so I decided to finally join.

Hello fellow fans!

I've been browsing FG for years, eventually i had to join, since most people where I live haven't got a clue to what TG is. Otherwise I hate internet fora, but there seems to be a lovely absence of wankers here, so I'm staying.

Apart from my addiction to TG, I'm also obsessed with A/V, so even though I'm without a car, at least every car on TG are in 1:1 on my screen. Furthermore, I love the predecessor of sportscars: the horse, thus my alias.

Hello from the Chicago suburbs!

I discovered FG from an email from a friend of a friend earlier this year and have been hooked ever since. I finally decided to join after spending too much time downloading all the past TG episodes. I wish to thank Viper and the rest of the members who have enabled my TG fixation. If it wasn't for all of you I would still be watching grainy low quality vid rips and missing out on so much TG.

Hey Guys,

I'm a massive Top Gear fan living in Australia and after continually returning to the site month after month I thought it was about time I joined up.

I work for a motoring website here in Australia called CarAdvice as both a writer and film maker. On my most recent trip we road tested the Aston Martin DBS in outback Australia, but I'll post that video in the appropriate forum.

Hello everyone!

I consider myself a newborn TG fan, and slowly growing gearhead...which is ironic, considering I don't even drive yet. :\ Don't ask why.

In the off event this happens to be my one and only post...then goodbye, everyone.

hello, I'm Lee, I've been on here for ages then in Dec 2006 I joined. I then proceed to keep forgetting to sign in, oops decided I should keep logged in as bit fed up of being a lurker lol

Anywho, I'm 25 from Coventry (uk) and love top gear and pretty much anything else auto related. I dabble in photography and various other activities

Hey, My name's Carli *waves*

I live in East sussex, I'm a huge Top Gear fan, I love to drive, despite having an old car with a small engine. I 'm a bit of a speed demon (but no, I'm not a boy (well girl) racer or dangerous). I love listening to music and I like the internet
