Nah, your soul will still be here rotting away forever. Didn't you read the fine print in the contract when you signed up?

Ah, so this is the introductions thread!

Well, I'm a 22 year old Welsh expat currently living in Greece. Love me some motorsports, with a particular affinity for the 1990s.

Always thoroughly enjoyed the main website, and was delighted to see that these forums are still pretty active. The articles in particular are fantastic to read; long may this continue.

Welcome to the forums!

Just out of curiosity, how's the food there? I've been addicted to Greek gyros since my sophomore year in university.

Liquid · Post by **Liquid** » 24 Oct 2013, 14:56

Nice.

I'm a bit of a fussy eater but what I've eaten so far has been good. We the British are the odd ones out in Europe, on the island detached from everyone else, so everything is different anyway but I've enjoyed it so far.

Just thought I might highlight something there before anybody gets upset (we do have an Irish contigent here).

Liquid · Post by **Liquid** » 24 Oct 2013, 15:20

Aha, I do apologise. I've only even visited two portions of our little corner of the continent; my own country and In-gur-land. Must try harder to keep up with my Celtic brethren...

Anyway, pleased to be a member of the forums!

About the same time Microprose release GP5.

I'm gonna guess that you're a big Tim Harvey fan? In which case, you should watch out for the forum member Barbazza. :lol:

Anyway, welcome to the forums.

Indeed I am! And just to prove it, I'll mention a super secret code word... Toyota Camry 2.2

Now your Lola, Simtek and Andrea Moda avatars make a lot more sense.

2.80 then. (I have a small amount of Irish in me, and seem to cheer them on in random sporting events like canoeing

)

I guess I am then likely to be the 0.25% Polish members here, then?

Good evening, chaps (and chappettes?... well, you never know!). I've finally completed the massively daunting task of poking my head into cage of animals that is the F1 rejects forum, years after being shown the place by a fellow F1 nutter

Well... hello, I guess

I think that's from the YouTube video of Lucas di Grassi's helmet cam.

On reflection, that steering wheel looks way too advanced to be in the car of a casual open-wheeler series. :oops:

You're not on GPG.org, by any chance? There's someone with the same username...

Hello folks. Decided to register while I'm still optimistic about the 2014 shakeup ending Vettel's reign of terror. Personally I'd like to see a championship-worthy effort from Mercedes this year.

I've made myself a suave and talented avatar. 8-)

Turbogirl · Post by **Turbogirl** » 03 Feb 2014, 19:57

Hello, everyone! I already registered about two weeks ago, but I still think it was a bit impolite not to introduce myself right away. :oops:

I'm a 27-year old gal from germany, dragged into F1 by my older brother during 1995. I'm mostly here for the PMMF and not so much for the constant dispute about Seb or his winning streak or his finger (that didn't sound right...). I happen to be more interested in the car designs nowadays than in any driver. Funny, that the old designs from the 90s came back after so long...

Welcome turbogirl, I was also about to mention Dr Baker actually being lovely, but beaten to it! And 'The Vettel Debate' doesn't tend to rear its head too much here, though of course it's inevitable it does from time to time. You'll find the quality of debate here infinitely higher than places like F1Fanatic where I originally came from (and I hear autosport is even worse). So welcome
