Default Welcome to Garage419 on FinalGear

Hey Everyone!

First of all, I'd like to welcome you all to the official place for Garage419 talk here on the Final Gear forums. I know it's fun to banter in the comments section for the episodes, and that you all love posting endless comments on my Facebook page, but from now on, lets make this our home for show-related discussions!

As many of you know, Final Gear is THE place to discuss both Top Gear and Fifth Gear episodes, which is probably how you got here in the first place. Since there is no Top Gear America and we may very well be the closest thing, it seems perfectly reasonable that we are here representing the online TV community.

So welcome all, please post frequently, and adhere to all of FinalGear's forum rules, so we may be a permanent fixture here!

Thanks
Matt

Default Welcome Matt!

First of all... WELCOME!

I have to tell you, your show is one of the few refreshing, entertaining and well made things out there.

Keep up the good work man, and let us know if there is anything we can do to help (i.e. Drive the R8 again for you or something like that)

And while it may be a bit of a bold claim... I think it's true.

Hello Garage419. Brace yourself for asinine comparisons to Top Gear, other than that welcome and good luck on future projects.

This looks like it will be a great if it means two way communication between the audience and producers. Welcome!

We are actually sitting around the computer right now editing today's episode and reading the FinalGear forums.

Direct communication. Right here, right now.

Welcome to the forums! images/smilies/wave.gif I know there are a few of us who are worried about YouTube comment tards, but I feel they would make a very small percentage of new users, and since there is always a core 200-300 people who are on here frequently and are close knit, those trolls will quickly be abolished.

We have ways of dealing with them! images/smilies/twisted.gif

Hello Garage419 dudes, welcome here images/smilies/smile.gif

I find the show excellent and was wondering how you did that keeping in mind that you give it for free as a podcast! Is you budget very big?

Question: Are you guys here to stay, or is it going to be like the BBC entry, where there were a few people that participated initially, and then they became dormant, or only visited the forum without posting?

Welcome.

I've always thought that garage 419 is the best online automotive "show".

As someone already said. You are now part of the greatest automotive forum in the world! images/smilies/burnrubber.gif
