Since mid '98 around 400 different IRC users have visited the Channel. The #Cars channel was owned by Degga, who decided to create it to keep the "car talk" out of #brisbane. In January 2000, #CARS was taken over by VENoM, owner of #Brisbane under the nick of "Carnage".

The #Cars channel is a meeting point for motor-heads. It is quite common to find several people arguing their case as to which car is best between themselves. From observations of the channel, it can be seen that their is a good variety of backgrounds that people bring to the channel, some interesting, some not so interesting.

#Cars is a great place to argue the pros and cons of your favourite car against others. By far, the most popular arguments are Holden vs Ford, HSV Commodore vs STi WRX, and Australian Made vs Japanese Imports!.

Although the #Cars channel is open to any car lover, it is quite common to find that in this channel, the majority of visitors prefer 4 and 6 cylinder engines. (That is not to say that there aren't a number of Rotary and V8 fans out there!)

Users are encouraged to use this channel in order to gain information. Talk about what works in regards to modifications and spread your knowledge around.
