This is just a reminder that I don’t post spoilers on the front page, so if you’re wanting to know where they’ve been and are currently filming, make sure to check out the spoilers section of our forums. Lots of great stuff there right now!

I started using Twitter about a week ago and figured it’d be nice to have a Twitter account for FinalGear.com where notifications of new news posts would be posted. So if you use Twitter, feel free to follow FinalGear.com’s account to stay up to date.

Our Australian forum members are having another Melbourne-area meet. If you’re in the area, they’d love to have you come. The previous ones have looked to be quite fun and I’m sure this one will be too.

If you’re in Finland (or near by), a bunch of our forum members will be going to a track day at Ahvenisto Race Circuit on September 16th. If you’re interested, check out our forums for further details.

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.

I personally don’t use Facebook much, but there are many people on our forums who do. As a result, I figured it was time for FinalGear to have a Facebook page, so I created one: FinalGear.com on Facebook. Feel free to fan us if you’re a Facebook user.

Yep, yet another ‘Ring meet. If you’re interested in going to do a few laps on the 30th with members of our forums, please check out this thread.

The site may not look that different initially, but the entire backend of the non-news parts of the site have been recoded from scratch. The season listings and episode listings have been completely redesigned and now many feature screenshots from the episodes.

I still have some tweaking left to do over the next 24 hours or so such as displaying the ratings for each episode, but the main things should be up and running now (done!). Any bugs though should be reported via this thread on our forums. That’s also the place for any feedback.

I hope you enjoy the new features!

Oh, and thanks to everyone that helped out making screenshots of the episodes for the wiki as well as Blayde for making the season banners!

Yep, that’s right. Our last small batch of T-shirts was so popular that we’re doing a second batch. For those that haven’t seen it, here’s the design of the shirt (note that the shirt is red even though the image is slightly pink):

If you’d like one (or more), please visit this thread on our forums. The more shirts that get ordered, the cheaper they get for everyone. The target price is $16/shirt. Shipping is $5 to the United States ($8 for 2, $11 for 3), $10 to Canada, and $12 internationally. You only have until August 8th to order, so don’t wait!

For those that are interested, here’s some footage from the 24 Hours of LeMons race over the weekend in South Carolina. This footage, shot by Quiky, is of Team Salazar Racing’s E30 BMW 3-Series being crushed after being elected “The People’s Curse”.

This video is also available in 720p HD WMV format. More videos coming soon.
