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.
