Posted August 18th, 2008 at 02:38 GMT by Quiky in FG.com LeMons Team
It took us quite a while to sort out the video and get it web-ready, but we finally have a good chunk finished and ready for you to watch.
We had HD cameras in two cars; the #91 Saabs Gone Wild 900 Turbo, and our own #42 Ford Crown Victoria.
The first two videos are from the Saabs Gone Wild team.
The audio from the cameras is VERY loud, so please turn down your speakers before starting the clips.

That’s right, once again we’ll be competing in The 24 Hours of LeMons, an endurance race featuring lemon cars costing $500 or less.
However, our team needs sponsors — people like you! Donating not all that much will get your name or company on the car and help propel our team to victory! Full details for what your donation size will get you can be found on our forums.

Team FinalGear’s Progress At The 24 Hours Of LeMons Race

Posted September 29th, 2007 at 23:20 GMT by TechZ in FG.com Forums, FG.com LeMons Team
With the 24 Hours of LeMons race having started a few hours ago at the Flat Rock Speedway in Michigan, Team FinalGear is doing well in the black BMW. What race? Well, read all about it on the forums, as most of you must’ve already. And if not, where have you been?!
So far Quiky and Serajadeyn have been racing for 5 hours with 400 laps in the BMW, best position was 12th and they are currently 19th.
FliPP has posted some pictures and videos taken today from his visit to the track.
As always there is the FinalGear chat with both drivers making guest appearances from the track side whenever they can!
Thanks to all the sponsors and donations that helped get us this far. Good Luck to both our drivers for the remainder of the race.

FinalGear.com Meetups Soon! (UK, Frankfurt, Michigan, Australia)

Posted August 30th, 2007 at 10:32 GMT by Viper007Bond in FG.com LeMons Team, FG.com Meets, Top Gear
We’ve already had a Nürburgring meet back in May, but with Top Gear being at Silverstone early next month, we figured it’s be the perfect opportunity to turn it into an official UK meetup. So, if you’re in the UK and are able to drive to Silverstone sometime between the 7th and 9th of September, please check out and post in this thread on our forums to coordinate meeting up.
We’ll also be having a small meetup at the Frankfurt IAA motorshow sometime between September 15th and 23rd. See the meetup’s thread for details and to input on which weekend.
If you’re near Denver, Michigan on September 29th or 30th, we’ll be be having a meetup at the Flat Rock Speedway for the 24 Hours of LeMons which we have entered a car in. Details can also be found on our forums.
Lastly, for those of you living in or near Melbourne, Australia, an official meetup is currently in the planning stages. Feel free to weigh in on when would be good for you.
Hope to see all of you at one of our meetups!

Team FinalGear In The 24 Hours of Lemons!

Posted August 22nd, 2007 at 00:44 GMT by Quiky in FG.com Forums, FG.com LeMons Team
Yes, thats right, we are in the 24 Hours of Lemons! More specifically, we are in for the Flat Rock Speedway on September 29th/30th. I (Quiky), Serajadeyn, and a few other drivers are in the race with a very fancy / beatup car.
Presenting our… 1993 BMW 525i!

So here is the catch — we are asking for sponsors to help cover some of the car costs like a rollcage, safety belts, fire extinguisher, tires, brakes, traveling cost from MD to Michigan, etc. If you donate, we’ll even stick your name/logo/website name/graphic of choice (non-pornographic please) on the car!
Details can be found on our forums.
