I'm into cars, and while LeftLaneNews is an admirable MacNN equivalent, it lacks a couple of things. Firstly, while there is a lot of European news, to be honest I would prefer not to trudge through stuff about Pontiac Solstices and Infinitis (sorry guys), and it doesn't have any forums. And reccomendations?
I've found 4car forums, but they're quite quiet compared to the 'NN. But then this may be the case of most other places generally...

The pub.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

To be honest there aren't a lot of really good car forums out there. I suppose the carlounge and autoweek are pretty good, but you will still see lots of talk of american cars. No one car forum is great for everything -- but some a great for specific niche or brand topics, though.

Here's a little secret for LLN. You can subscribe your RSS to specific categories like this:

http://www.leftlanenews.com/?cat=12&feed=rss2
(that will give u all vw news, for example)

We'll try to find a way to make this easier for everyone to use, but for now just add &feed=rss2 to any category page URL.

You can try the trifecta of
vwvortex.com
fourtitude.com
mwerks.com

devoted to respectively anything VW, Audi and BMW. The 'Tex is pretty busy, Fourtitude is slower, not sure about mwerks.

If you like Volvo cars, www.swedespeed.com and www.vvspy.com are worth a look.

The forums of ultimatecarpage.com. Not euro centric but really international with a lot of european representation. A bit like the 'NN.
I post there a lot.
