Be A Top Gear USA Intern

Top Gear US is getting their website up and running at topgear.com/us and are looking for interns in the NY area to help out. Here are the descriptions and how to apply:

Do you: 
-Live in or around New York City? 
-Attend a college or university that will give you course credit for an internship? 
-Have opposable thumbs? 
-Love cars more than you heart your little Sister? 
-Install a fiber optic backbone to more quickly torrent new "Top Gear" episodes? 
-Fantasize about slaving over TopGear.com minutiae for free while drinking bad coffee? 
If you answer yes to most of these questions, you might be the right guy/girl for us. You'd start in January.

Musts: 
-Feel confident whipping through the creation and processing of documents and spreadsheets. 
-Be able to distinguish a Caterham from a Catera. 
-Love fluorescent-lit cube farms. 
-Really, really want to be here.

Big Pluses: 
-Web publishing experience 
-Photoshop, Flash, and video-editing skills 
-Be able to distinguish a Lancia Fulvia from a Lancia Flavia.

Deal breakers: 
-You'd rather watch that other show with Gear in the title 
-You'd rather traipse around a mall than a junkyard 
-You don't have an opinion about the worst car ever made

Drop us a note at topgear@bbc.com with "Internship" in the subject line, attach a resume, and let us know where you are, what you're doing and why we'll love you.
