He deserves it. He and his team have come out of relatively nowhere with in the past few years, and their work is truly genius.

Thank you so much for this. I've never been a news story before.
This year's been good to me - XCAR launched, I've had the chance to play in some spectacular cars, I've not had *too* many commenters asking for my death and I was honoured by both Headline Auto (Broadcast Journo of the year, apparently) in August and now the super-prestigious Guild of Motoring Writers. I'm a lucky boy and if it wasn't for guys like you all I wouldn't have been able to make the films I do. So a BIG THANK YOU to you all.

I was going to write one over the last couple of weeks, but we got held up with some pretty cool, but time consuming, stuff. I'm off next week, but if we have time we'll manage one more before Christmas. There's some AWESOME comments in there.
If you do want a comments show fix take a look at Feedbackula on our sister site Gamespot:
http://www.gamespot.com/videos/feedbac…
It's where we got the idea for the show (with Johnny's permission - we did ask if he was cool with it, no fear). The main differences are the subject matter and the voices - other people do them for variety (I've loaned my voice to a few eps of Feedbackula, including the one above). If we get the time to do the one I have in mind we'll be featuring Johnny in the next XCLAIM.
