Short Notice: FinalGear Los Angeles Meet This Saturday!

Posted July 25th, 2008 at 03:52 GMT by Viper007Bond in FG.com Meets, Top Gear America
We have quite a few forum members who got tickets to Saturday’s filming of Top Gear America. As a result, it was decided it’d be cool to meet up afterwards and go out to dinner or whatever.
Even if you didn’t get tickets to the filming, you are still welcome to go. So, if you’re in the LA area and are free this Saturday night, please check out and post in this thread on our forums. Details of the meet will be figured out there.

Reminder: You Can Automatically Download New Episodes

Posted July 14th, 2008 at 01:50 GMT by Viper007Bond in FinalGear.com
This is just a reminder that we have a torrent RSS feed that you can use to automatically have new episodes that we release download to your computer, even if you’re away from it.
If you’re a µTorrent user (if you’re on Windows, I highly recommend it), I just finished writing a visual guide today that will walk you through setting it up.
Azureus users can use this guide that’s rather old but still should work fine (I haven’t used Azureus in years, so reply to that thread if it needs updating).
So if you’re at work or even sleeping when we usually release episodes, follow one of the above guides and you’ll have the episode waiting for you as soon as you get back to you computer!

Need Your Feedback For Site Improvements

Posted June 26th, 2008 at 07:16 GMT by Viper007Bond in FinalGear.com
The general consensus on the forums seems to be that people would rather stick with the current site design rather than going for an all-new look.
So rather than doing a redesign, I will instead be sprucing up the current design with features such as switching to a Show -> Season -> Episode format (rather than all episodes being in one big long list), links to the wiki, etc.
If you have anything you’d like to see, please check out this list and then post any other features you’d like to see here on the main site. Thanks!

FinalGear Meets: San Fransisco And Nürburgring

Posted June 5th, 2008 at 11:17 GMT by Viper007Bond in FG.com Meets
Sorry for the really short warning, but I seemed to have completely missed the fact that some San Franciscans are meeting up this Saturday. If you’re in the area and don’t have anything planned, consider joining them and meeting fellow Top Gear and Fifth Gear fans.
We’re also having yet another ‘Ring meet, this time on July 19th through the 21st (meet on the 19th, drive on the 20th and 21st). Full details about the Germany meet can be found on our forums. If it’s anything like the last time, it should be pretty awesome.

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.

Contact Form Is Working Again

Posted March 18th, 2008 at 03:26 GMT by Viper007Bond in FG.com Forums, FinalGear.com
Our contact form has apparently been broken since January 9th or shortly thereafter. I had just figured no one wanted to e-mail me, lol.
So simply put, if you e-mailed me via our contact form during the past 2 months, I never got it and the e-mail is unrecoverable. Sorry, but you can always e-mail me again now that the form is working. ;)
