P.S. I also think that the Island needs more defences maybe a few SAM sites and where does the Giant Finalgear Attack Mech go hmm....
I originated the holiday, and someone else came up with the floating part. As for SAMs, I was thinking more of devices to launch Nissan Bluebirds at the enemy images/smilies/tongue.gif (that comes from a TG episode)

Oh yeah I remember that.
Still I was hoping for something like Ariel Atom patrols equipped with rocketpods(NOD attack bike inspired)

Also What about the Attack Mech?
There's already an order placed for it,
where are you guys going to place it?

We need Mech's to defend ourselves against angry Japanese Anime fans as well as for merchandising.

What do you mean 'defend against anime fans'?
Where do you think a third of the avatars on this forum came from?

I said anime fans because I hesitate to use the term Japanese geeksimages/smilies/mellow.gif.
The amount of fun we guys make of some Japanese cars, which we think are boring and they think as ubercool, is bound to cause some hostility,I think it is prudent that we be prepared.

Plus how cool would it be to have a Finalgear Attack Mech,images/smilies/cool.gif
Admit it...
YOU want one images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Mechs? What is this? FinalGear needs proper tanks, powered by the filthiest diesel engines in the world.

Yes tanks would be more effective.
But think about the look on the face of our enemies when a Giant Robot jumps out of Mt.Clarkson, lands on a few enemy tanks and goes "OH COCK" before proceeding to fire G-Whiz's(filled with explosives ,which are made from environmentally friendly chemicals ofcourse)at the Enemy formations.

I like the Ariel Atom/Attack bike idea, but I think normal patrols should be driving white Crown Victorias (all car number 42 images/smilies/wink.gif) or Carbon E7s.

I'm up for anti-anime cannons too, I hate those avatars people are using.

As for the mech, are you thinking of something like the german WW2 mech in that CG video on the internets?

^ OH GOD THEY'RE ATTACKING ALREADY!!!

As for the Mech...I haven't decided on anything yet...
I just put down the down payment for it(two copies of playboy and some cheats for Tomb Raider{what can I say they are easily amused})....
I thought you guys would have some requirements for the Mech

Hey maybe we can have it use the V8 engineimages/smilies/biggrin.gif

Yes, tanks are intimidating,but are too....conventional for Finalgears secret HQ, we will reserve the tanks for conquering some country that annoys us, or as a primary defence, the Mech is more of a Superweapon than anything else(Play RedAlert 3's, Japanese campaign).
It will be the symbol that says
"DUDE DON"T F*** WITH US, WE HAVE A FRIGGIN ATTACK MECH!!!"

and The Mech wont be as badly designed as the Star wars walkers,any input you give will definitely be used to make the Ultimate Finalgear Mech(tentative name).

As for the budget, the guys who are ready to build this have already been brainwashed, by Finalgears conversion ray.. So they'll do it for a pittance.

The remaining import restrictions are based on the Final Gear HQ's Cool Wall. Seriously uncool vehicles are strictly banned, uncool vehicles are only importable with permission, cool vehicles are allowed unconditionally, and seriously cool car drivers are actually paid to drive on the island.
Personally, I don't think thats a good rule.

Edit: Just realized that the import rules are based of the FG Cool Wall rather than the TG Cool Wall. Still, I'm kind of skeptical on it.

Also do members (VIP or anyone) get personal garages/shops for storing their own cars or doing work themselves. If so, the garages should be fully equipped with all the tools one may need, lifts, engine lifts etc.

I figured most people would work on their car at the Final Gear Garage. They have everything you need. If you have an idea though, feel free to submit.
