I was wondering if anyone could point me towards some decent forums that have a mainly American user base? I know this site has a US-subforum, but its not very active, and PH in general is almost totally uk/europe based.

Basically im after an American PH biggrin to chat and ask questions etc.

Cheers

Those tend to be specific-car based. What type cars are you interested in?

No... you don't. You'll only get people calling you 'bro' and 'dude' and people saying that they've flushed their sump out with water while the car was running.

You just want to stay in nice old PH forum smile Its like a comfy old armchair! smile

With Gordo the great at the helm, if I didn't have such an attachment to my family home I'd be over there as soon as I could afford it.

This country is a dump which is increasingly full of miserable, bitter aholes with a decreasing level of personal freedom and responsibility. I'd rather take my chances of getting shot by a deranged hillbilly.

Squeel like a pig.

I would join you I think if they would have me. The last straw is the government giving officials the right to enter your home if you have not paid council tax.

Try http://www.zerkelmotorwerks.com/forum/ Ohio based most of them, into their cars and bikes, they like Top Gear and James May's recent programmes. They don't like Toyotas or Obama. wink

www.vwvortex.com (or any of its aliases triplezoom.com / subdriven.com / mwerks.com / fourtitude.com depending on what flavor banner you prefer) is probably the largest US based web forums I read regularly. There's a large non brand specific area , the car lounge, and many non motoring sections.

I had an attachement to my country cottage- but I got over it. With the paltry amount engineers are paid out there- I couldnt afford not to

I like to think of the UK now as a sort of Gulag Island.

When ever I see someone from the UK or spot the accent in my line of work I ask "So when did you escape the Empire?" wink

Every time that I have gone onto an American forum I have ended up with someone threatening to shoot me, or similar rolleyes

My favourite was about a 20 page sanctimonious rant from some roadfly person cos I had used a really racist word: "Jap" (as in "Jap car"). FFS!
