Stig is revealed tonight

[andycap]

Top Gear is back tonight and i think the Stigs identity is revealed.
If you know who he is please don't tell, as many of us do not know, i've heard many rumours but nothing for sure .
I wouldn't put it past them to unmask a fake though

 

[Paul2009]

I know who one of them is anyway - apparently there is 2 or 3 of them anyway. I'd bet my (future) mortgage on it that they wont tell don't worry

It's got to be a rouse(sp).

It's one of the biggest 'mysteries' on TV, and I don't think that it's been any one driver. Though Johnny Herbert was suggested at some point, and the stature would make him a possibility. But was 'black' stig a different stig to 'white' stig? I seem to remenber 'black' stig being a bit taller than 'white' stig. Which is when the Damon Hill suggestions were being made.

I did like the 'mini me' James May and Hamster for the trailers for tonights show though.

Either way. It'll be a great series again I'm sure. Who is Jeremy going to insult this series?

Great team and great entertainment in this world or reality TV, soaps and dross in general!

I am the Stig!!

(In the same meaning as Spatacus!)

 

[viscount17]

be honest, who expected that?

 

[haplesshacker]

Nope. I didn't. But very good.

Obviously not the 'real' Stig!

 

[viscount17]

no, the suit didn't fit.
tbh, I thought he'd take off the helmet but have a hood beneath it.

I seem to recall other F1 drivers doing a lap in the reasonably priced car. Did Schmacher 'choose' not to!?

 

[andycap]

I think Ferrari would only let that car be used with Shoemaker driving it .
Good t.v though, and i don't think anything will beat that time, 7 seconds faster than some of the best cars in the world. Different league.

I'm presuming from that that the segment will now be binned as the car has been driven off camera completely, and there was no proper lap during the programme?

The Stig was already outed as Ben Collins a few months ago http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/4286448/Who-is-the-Stig-The-answer.html

Actually that's a very good point, and probably very true.

 

[Putting_Green_Pro]

there is obviously more than one stig. Revealing the stig would be the end of top gear, plus would Shoemaker do anything that he wasn't being payed for?
For God's sake hes doing ads for Bucardi, yes cos its obviously to promote that drink driving is not great. He wouldn't have done that if say a lesser known brand asked him.
Finally he needs the money if he drives 2 (YES 2!!!) Fiats. Not saying that Fiat is bad just saying that well they're Fiats haha

 

[USER1999]

Black stig was perry mcCarthy. He wrote a book about it.

 

[Paul2009]

[Putting_Green_Pro]

yer so there must be more than one stig/ he isnt the real stig there is another one

 

[haplesshacker]

I've completely lost track of this thread??

I don't know if I'm coming or going now.

So who was the stig??

 

[Addict]

Apparently.........Ben collins is the main stig atm, he does all the timings on track and general stig duties, then they get specialist's in for the other things like the F1 car and the tests where its the only car of its kind is the owner
