The FinalGear.com Forums

Posted November 3rd, 2009 at 22:532009-11-03T22:53:27ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by TechZ in FG.com Forums
Yes FinalGear devotees, we not only have this (now rather dated *hint hint Viper*) homepage, we also have forums!
Chock full of threads and posts by others like YOU making the site a very handy resource. We have sections on Fifth Gear (RIP), Top Gear and a few other interesting shows. Not to mention all the shows that the hosts do when they aren’t making episodes of some our very favourite series. Heard a tune in one of the episodes you really like? We have a section on that too!
Even with so many (expected) sections, we have threads on food, entertainment and tons more, guaranteed to waste your semi-precious time from work or home or simply taking the train (wtf?) to work.
A lot of you already know about the forums, but you’d be surprised as to how many don’t, so those of you who don’t have no excuse not to sign up.

FinalGear Mini-Meet: July 11th In NYC With Garage419

Posted July 7th, 2009 at 02:522009-07-07T02:52:10ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in FG.com Meets, Garage419
Garage419 will be returning this Saturday. They’ll be participating in the 2009 BullRun Rally from New York City to Austin, Texas and will be posting a new episode from the road every night as well as tweeting their progress. They’ll be participating in a 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, a street legal Baja truck:

Since we host Garage419’s official forums, we thought this would be a good opportunity to have a mini-meetup of FinalGear’ers. So if you’re in the New York City area and aren’t doing anything this Saturday morning, please consider showing up at the Hotel Gansevoort to meet the Garage419 gang and fellow FinalGear’ers. UPDATE: Be there by 8:30am!
Details and discussion can be found at this forum thread.

Server Troubles… Fixed?

Posted June 21st, 2009 at 23:582009-06-21T23:58:59ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in FG.com Forums, FinalGear.com
You guys sure love your Top Gear, don’t you? We managed to break our server today due to the metric assload of traffic (we broke all of our old traffic records, even with the downtime), but PacketCollision and Quiky managed to sort it all out, we hope.
So apologies for the downtime, but we should hopefully be good from here on out. Now go watch Top Gear — it was a great episode!
UPDATE: Things are looking quite good. The drop in traffic plus the tweaked server settings seems to have done the trick. Oh, and for future reference — if the site ever goes down again, make sure to check the site’s Twitter account as I’ll post status updates there.

Yes, we’re going LeMons racing yet again!
This year we’ll be entering a car in the Garrettsville, Ohio race at the Nelson Ledges Road Course. It will be a true 24 hour race rather than the more common two 12 hour races. We’re also turning into a FinalGear meet, so we hope to see you there! All the details about the day and a sneak peek at our car this year can be found on our forums.

Posted June 12th, 2009 at 06:162009-06-12T06:16:43ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in FG.com Forums
I’m proud to announce that a little over 24 hours ago, our forums passed the one million post mark! Thanks to everyone who has participated on our forums. To the rest of you, I hope to see you help us toward the two million mark. There’s lots of great stuff on our forums including stuff in future Top Gear episodes that I don’t post on the front page (as many people don’t like spoilers).

FinalGear Is Now The Official Home Of The Garage419 Forums

Posted May 1st, 2009 at 11:262009-05-01T11:26:30ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in FG.com Forums, Garage419
You may or may not have heard of Garage419. For those who haven’t, they’re an online automotive review show. Here’s a one of their episodes:
Anyway, until now they’ve relied on YouTube comments and their own video commenting system to gather feedback from their viewers. However they recently approached us with a proposal for us to host their forums. They’re big fans of our site and especially our forums and were looking for an existing community to become a part of. We happily agreed as this means more exposure for us via promotions on their site and in their videos and it benefits them too by spreading the word about their great little series.
So, starting today, you can discuss their episodes, make episode suggestions, and more all via a new section on our forums.
