In other news... Replacement 200gb SATA HDD or a gig of paired DDR? I can put the DDR in m00f, and then move the existing RAM to Fred or Enigma, but the HDD will come in handy....

The council of Elrond demands you explain who this stig is!

The Stig is....well, I'll let wikipedia speak for me:

"The Stig is the mysterious "tame racing driver" of the popular BBC car show Top Gear... All shots of the Stig show the same racing overalls (now white) and a helmet (of matching colour), but never reveal his identity. On 2005's Revved Up DVD, Richard Hammond is shown in the "Top Gear Bunker" opening a cupboard where they supposedly "keep" the Stig. A dead looking figure in the Stig's racing overalls is shown lying in the cupboard. Similarly, when the hosts went to the Isle of Man to test out the Porsche 911, the BMW M6, and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (2005), Jeremy Clarkson was dispatched to the airport to "pick up a special delivery" where the Stig is shown loaded onto a baggage carousel.

The Stig's primary role on the show is to serve as an unbiased standard on which to test cars. His major role is driving various cars around the Top Gear test track. The times he sets with these cars are kept on a scoreboard that keeps track of the fastest cars that have been tested. The easy listening, prog rock and baroque music the Stig supposedly listens to in the car is a perennial source of amusement to the presenters. Although he never speaks, The Stig is credited as a presenter on the show."

They introduce him by saying "Some say he....But we just know him as the Stig!" This is what has been said about El Stiggly:
