Nice and fast release from Vuk today. You can grab his release right here or the 700 MB scene rip now. Be warned though, the scene rip torrent is heavily overloaded and will probably be very slow. Our torrent should be pretty fast though, so grab our’s if you want it fast and can’t wait.

On another note, next week’s episode will be the final one of the season. No word as to when they’ll be back.

For those wanting Vuk’s smaller sized rip of yesterday’s Top Gear, it’s now available.

No word from Vuk yet on his rip, but you can grab the scene rip now if you can’t wait for him.

Sorry about the downtime we had earlier today.. we had some unexplained power issues from the datacenter.

EDIT @ 12:11: Update / explanation on the forums for those who care. Torrent downloads have also been fixed. -Viper

Do you live within driving distance of the ‘Ring (that’d be Germany for those who are seriously clueless)? If so, check out this thread on our forums. We’re trying to get a meet going for sometime in May and need input from those who’d be interested in showing up. So speak up!

Turns out the rip wasn’t bad after all! You can go download Vuk’s 425MB rip now if you didn’t want to download the 700MB one that was linked to earlier.

Vuk’s new TV tuner is awesome and working like a charm, but he forgot to disable the screensaver on his PC, so it screwed up the rip. He’ll capture the re-air on Wednesday. Good times, huh? lol, oh well.

Meanwhile, here is a 700MB scene rip torrent thanks to VTV: download

When I started this site in the fall of 2003, never in a million years would I have guessed that any of the people involved in Top Gear production would know about it let alone visit it.

Well today, Top Gear’s Executive Producer Andy Wilman revealed on the TopGear.com blog that he is a usual reader of our forums. At the end of his article about this Sunday’s US special is this:

Personally, the American film is one of my favourites because it’s such a charmer, but I’m 44, so we’ll see. Whatever happens, I will as usual be logging onto our mates at Final Gear on Monday for a masochistic kicking.

It makes me very happy that the Top Gear production team value viewer responses and use our humble little forums as a resource. I’m such a proud daddy. :)

There’s a discussion on our forums if you want to chime in on this.

We finally got the re-encodes working and torrented. Sorry for the delay.
