Some say...

... the shape of his Neurohelmet is the result of sexual selection...

and...

...he absolutely will not eat fresh Myomer.






Confused?

He would make it around Thunder Rift in his reasonably priced Whitworth in 1:43.8

[Zakatak]

So I'm not the one who wanted to see him stomp a Locust around that airfield in 1:26:32?

Let's get Clarkson in on this too.

Umm, whos "The Stig"?

[Felicitatem Parco]

You must be confused...

[Stone Profit]

Oh. Cars. Yay? I know what top gear is, but I dont watch it. You know whats awesome? Tank Overhaul

The UK knows where to put that tax money.

"...aaaaannnnd it was Rubbish! The autocannons fed worse than a toddler, the lasers overheated, the missiles had fewer reloads than a broke junkie, and it was so frightened by combat that the slightest hit would cause it to ... well, "evacuate itself" all over the battlefield... which was rather embarassing.

Once, a long time ago, there was a mech racing circuit known as Mechwarrior Underground.

It was a three lap demolition derby on some of the meanest and most creative maps ever made. Pink fog, hostile dropships on the ceiling, and twisty lanes full of short-cuts to name a few. Sadly it folded for lack of players a few years back.

There are some podcasts of the races floating around somewhere, probably on MWL.

[Morashtak]

Next up, the producers give a 'Mech to each of the hosts. Who do you see in what 'Mech?

Clarkson; Awesome (because the name alone would do it for him)
Hammond; why do I see him in a light like the Valkyrie?
May; something exotic and impractical... Pouncer?

[Kenyon Burguess]

still confused. what is a "stig" in british culture that makes him funny?

Wikipedia is in solidarity with the "Stop SOPA" or it would be easier to explain.

"Stig" is the monicker for the test driver on the show. Takes cars around the course for the track times. And that's a bit simplistic as there as been a number of "Stigs". Each one of them are careful to not show their faces. Keeps an air of mystique around it all. Any one of them were professional drivers on any number of European racing levels (wrong word, it's late).

Jeremy Clarkson, the main host, goes a bit over the top when he talks about the Stig. Which is forgivable as the drivers have posted incredible times in some of the most famous and infamous super cars.

Clarkson would wear a T-shirt with "Only idi.ts would drive Clan mechs", while asking the other two if they would like it... They answered yes.

I think Jeremy clarkson would drive an Atlas... just because of the face... and POWER!!!

Richard Hammond would probably like a Warhammer because it's iconic, well-rounded, and kinda reminds me of a pickup truck.

James May would take something nostalgic but "technologically advanced... for it's time," and dubious for overheating. So, probably a Crab.

This Dire Wolf's Reactor pumps out one million break horse powers and eight hundred thousands torques!! Making it the most powerful Battlemech, in the world. Err, I mean, the galaxy...

[Bernard Matthaios]

The Dire Wolf is a tool of a pikey!

[Felicitatem Parco]

To be honest... I'm gonna have to agree. The DireWolf is just far too vulgar for a civilized society like ours. I mean, who needs more than 50 tons of weapons? 50 tons! Even the Steiners haven't gone that far.

If you want a propper 100-ton Assault Mech, then go buy yourself an Atlas. If you want a 100 ton dog, get a Diashi.






Moving along now... Good News! The Dacia SanderoMech WILL be available with a both a standard fusion plant and a brand-new, lightweight model... although you'd be a tool to buy one because the lightweight, low-density alloy engine takes up so much space in the chasiss that they've dropped two weapons mounts altogether, and completely removed the boot! I mean, what's the point of a nice, sensible, practical vehicle if you take away the practical and sensible?

You dont ask what The Stig pilots because he can pilot anything perfectly! His piloting modifier would be a 0 and if he had a gunnery to boot since this is "Mechjock Stig" just like theres "Trucker Stig" then I would say his gunnery would be minimum 0/2/4 if not 0/0/2.

[SquareSphere]

Some say that Comstar whorship him as a minor diety... and that he think the Charger is a perfectly reasonable design

All I know is that he's called the Stig.

[Brenden]

If I could ask...who is The Stig and what are you talking about? Just got back from winter's break and just now resettling in.
