Hello everyone!
My name is Matt, and I'm 32 years old and live in Pennsylvania in the USA. My wife and I got exposed to Top Gear last year thanks to a friend...and thanks to the internet and BBC America we have become huge fans of the show. As you can guess, my name is inspired by my favorite presenter, James May (for his dry sense of humor, his ability to play comic foil to Jeremy and Richard, and his knowledge of cars.)
Cars are a passion in my life, and sort of my job, as I work for my state Dept. of Transportation. I currently own a Chevy Cobalt LS, which I wish had a more powerful engine. I love that car, but I wish I could have a British hot hatch like a Focus ST or a Astra VXR (preferably with paddle shifters. I can't drive nor have never attempted to drive a manual.).
I also love heavy metal music and all kinds of rock music, travelling, sports (especially Formula 1! GO LEWIS! GO MCLAREN!), and lots of other stuff. I've been married for 6 years and have an 11 month old daughter.
So, if there are any TG fans from the USA (especially the Mid-Atlantic) feel free to say hello! I also would love to chat with fans from the UK and around the world. Any Formula 1, McLaren or Lewis Hamilton fans can drop me a line as well.
Keep the pedal to the metal!
