you mite try /list *engine* that would give you a bit wider range. I'd also try some other channels, like channels that may have ppl in a certain geographical area, or certain age group. And you would no doubt get more channels if you used *auto* or *car* than v8 engine. (altho you may get a lot of auto racing channels i suspect) ANd of course, try other networks
What you find may not be exactly what you want, but it could lead you to other channels that interest you more.
I think i mentioned to you earlier that it may take a while to find a channel and ppl that you enjoy chatting with. Everyone spends some time at first finding ppl they enjoy talking to (not unlike IRL). Thinking of all the friends i;ve made over the years, i have to say the time was well spent
