jk, Wes is a cool name tho.

I don't want to know the true identity of the Stig, i'm too much of a fan. Can't wait for new Top Gear!

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> @long_live_the_E36: The Spiders from Mars are the variants of The Stig.

hootjigga

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> I believe Ben Collins is The Stig, and as well as Russ Swift.

I don't think it's Jenson Button because he's too busy with F1.

And to Mad Science...the Black Stig was killed off on Series 3 Episode 1

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> @Novaload: exactly. anyone with 500 bucks or so can obtain one of these helmets.

also, Top Gear Season 10 on BBC America starting Monday the 25th. woo!

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> Fierysphere is dead on in this case - that's Ben Collins. Check out the eyes and eyebrows in this publicity shot:

That's not to say he's the only one, but he is a very capable driver across lots of disciplines.

Maymar is convinced M.C. Escher engineered his car

It's S.T.I.G.
Strolling Trans-automotive Incarnation of G.I.T.T.
His nanotech is applied to kinesthesia, but his real ace in the hole is that he plugs directly into each car's diagnostic port. How does he reach it, you ask? The same reason the bikini-clad STIGette is still hanging around with him.

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> What's the context for this? How do we know this isn't some wanker with the helmet on? Was it a screengrab from a driving segment?

NovaloadMissesPolar

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> OH POO! Everybody knows the STIG is a half man half reptile hybrid spawned by a gene splicing experiment gone awry.

Some say that in place of human genitalia the Stig has a cloaca instead.

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> @Mark Arnold: Oh...

You might want to re-write that sentence to "killed-off on the show" or something.

Re: the pictures...there's nothing to say whoever's pictured here is the dude behind the wheel on the test track. That's actually gotta be a great publicity thing for Top Gear, given the anonymity of the outfit. "The Stig" could make appearances the world over. I wonder if I could book him for my birthday party.

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> I have never seen The Stig and Dame Edna photographed together.

goatrope

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> Look at his eyes, man... that's not normal, not human!

He's probably a cyborg, been reassembled after a horrible accident.

"A man barely alive. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better...stronger...faster."

I like the idea of the apex targeting system. And that face on his visor... That's part of his HUD system, where in his idle mode, he reviews the techniques of the best drivers in history, and makes them his own...

TrikeKid

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> This is Major Stig to Ground Control
I'm driving through the turn
And I'm drifting in a most peculiar way
And the roads look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far beyond the limit
This Lambo here is blue
And there's plenty she can do

Though I'm past two hundred miles per hour
I'm feeling very still
And I think my car knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows!)

]]> <![CDATA[Top Gear's Stig: Man Not Machine?]]> That's a picture of eyes, nothing else. For all we know, the Stig may be the real life realization of Omni Consumer Products' marquis achievement in law enforcement, RoboCop, put to more entertaining use. Part man, part machine, all wheel man.

Either that or the Stig's one of the guys from Daft Punk.
