How many people have you converted? (hall of fame)

freefall · March 22nd, 2009, 10:49 PM

Ok, I had this idea today, why not have a thread where everyone can
keep a record (and update it!) of the number of people they have
converted into the religion of cocking about (i.e. Top Gear

)!

To make it funnier (hopefully) and graphic, in a good sense

, I decided
to have the scores displayed not in numbers, but in pictures!

Here are the codes (you'll have to copy&paste a line of code
from this box according to your score, please use preview to avoid
screwups!), explanation follows:

HTML Code:

Score: 1
[img]http://pic.phyrefile.com/f/fr/freefall/2009/03/22/stig_1.png[/img]

Score: 2
[img]http://pic.phyrefile.com/f/fr/freefall/2009/03/22/stig_2.png[/img]

Score: 3
[img]http://pic.phyrefile.com/f/fr/freefall/2009/03/22/stig_3.png[/img]

Score: 4
[img]http://pic.phyrefile.com/f/fr/freefall/2009/03/22/stig_4.png[/img]

Score: 5
[img]http://pic.phyrefile.com/f/fr/freefall/2009/03/22/stig_5.png[/img]

So, if you have only converted your granny, you'll have to insert the code
corresponding to the score of 1. To post scores higher than 5, combine a
set of 5s with an odd makeweight.

Commentary is not necessary, but please just make sure to separate the
text and post your picture on a new line!

to

Finally, the Rules:

1) We'll have to take your word for it, so to keep it fun for everybody you
shouldn't really cheat

2) I personally consider a significant influence on any person a point scored.
So that doesn't mean that you need to be the person who introduced them
to the show, you just have to be sure that because of you they show Top
Gear noticeably more often

I have not found any of my friends who were not already into Top Gear very receptive of the conversion. Most of the people I know are into cars and motorsport so they already know Top Gear.

people over here don't get it
the stupid tw..

hughJ · March 23rd, 2009, 4:28 AM

It's probably more than that. Plus if I start taking into consideration the people I've indirectly converted via my converts converting their friends, family and co-workers, the number will get rather large. All I know is that of my circle of friends (and friends of friends), I was the first to spread the good word.

skylock · March 23rd, 2009, 4:55 AM

Will crawl thru glass to see it

Likes to see it if I make all the effort

eimajuno · March 23rd, 2009, 5:06 AM

My dad and 3 friends.

Ziggy Shadow-Dust · March 23rd, 2009, 2:50 PM

My brother and mother, and possibly my father but I'm not certain, so it'll be two.

CrazyRussian540 · March 24th, 2009, 3:16 AM

Converted a good friend of mine, and got him onto the forum too (thevictor390)

Also, LeVeL converted me to TG, but I pulled him onto the forums.

And lastly, I don't know if it counts, but my ex started watching TG religiously on BBC America, but after we broke up.

Uh-huh.

Although it's on swedish telly 6 months after they've aired in the UK I have made more people download them... easiest was my roomy as he just joins me and we watch the show together.

When I was in college, I would get my whole suite (6 people) together on Sunday nights to watch after the download finished. I'd hook up my TV and sound system to the computer. Sweet!

dawes · March 24th, 2009, 10:08 PM

I've converted no one! Most of my friends are your typical girly girls and they're not interested in three old men talking about cars. And they still don't want to see it when I say that that's not the case. They even get angry at me for talking about it too much

What, not even Hammond?

Try mentioning the purple Nissan Micra Convertible, that should work then

Richmondgal · March 25th, 2009, 7:42 AM

I think Dad counts. None of my friends are into cars. Although none of them have gotten a letter published in Top Gear Australia magazine three times.

Walsh_e · March 25th, 2009, 7:42 AM

Bow to the master, converted my mum, dad, brother and at least 9 friends that I can remember!
