My money is on James May

[pogweasel]

Bound to be Captain Slow, or someone equally unlikely. Perhaps Harry Enfield. Or Jonathan Ross. Unlikely to be J. Vegas, or R. Whitely for that matter.

It is actually me, they edited my gut out though

Shew blackboard marker!!! but top marks for his CROMA

 

 

Top shite if ever there was

I think that was a joke. I bet The Stig is just whatever racing driver is available at the time.

[pogweasel]

I shouldn't think it's that model though If it is though, it oughta be an E-reg Croma CHT with black placca bumpers and one door that's red when the rest of it is blue.

it most definitely is a variety of driversit was Michael Schumacher this week as it correlates with the appearance of the Ferrari FXX. He is bound to have one! Ferrari wouldnt send an enzo, so i highly doubt they sent the FXX.

Back in the day...A certain J Clarkson used to get very pissed off when exclusive drives in mega exotica would be automatically allocated to Miss Tiffany Dell on account of the fact that she had been an F1 driver (sort of) and he hadn't. When he came back after his wilderness years ( Remember the 'Radio Times' cover featuring Kate Humble and the strap-line 'The Woman Who KIcked Clarkson Out of Cars'? No, not many people do - it happened. ) Jeremy vowed it wouldn't happen again. The first Stig was Perry Macarthy - everyone, I assume, is aware of that. Perry told me - before he appeared as The Stig for the first time - that he was going to be revealed at the end of his first series and would join as a 'proper presenter' in Series 2. However, Jezza and his Producer Andy Wilman ( Who 'fagged' for him at Repton. What larks!) decided they liked things just as they were thank you very much. If theres one thing we're not short of in this great nation its unemployed race car drivers willing to work for 'a ton' a day plus lunch in the canteen.

Aye, that'll be reet gradley that'll be.

Schumacher was effectively the 'star in a reasonably priced car' last night.

 

He was there as that FXX was his own personal one:

You're all wrong - I am The Stig. Pity they ditched the "Star in a reasonably priced Rover 25" segment.Actually, they should get rid of that Lacetti thing, and replace it with a RWD Hyundai Pony. I bet that smug bastard Jimmy Carr would bin it.

[ashmicro]

Must send this to Andy Wilman: Idea for a new show.

That was Schumacher's own FXX. Ben Collins IS The Stig.

The Stig is Ben Collins and has been for a few years. He was named on the accident report for the Hamsters jet crash.He was also interviewed by Dutch TV a couple of years ago, and even though he was wearing the Stig suit'n'helmet combo it was blatantly him.He was also one of the drivers in the Aygo football thing they did.He's been spotted far too many times near the TG track an' all.
