[fizzwheel]

[Kinvig]

The girl on Radio 1 accidently told the nation who the old stig was a couple of weeks ago.

Who was the old one?

No. She's a sl... nevermind


It is I- L'Eclair!

[RhythmJunkie]

Me & the wife have thought long and hard about this for the past year and we are convinced its Hammond. The way he sits the way he turns the wheel and taps his finger before a corner, the way he moves his head when cornering, the way the Stig goes missing when Hammond is ill etc.. 2+2 = Hamster!
Also the way Hammond gets over excited when the Stigs lap times are being announced...its either e red herring or a dead give away!

[hovis]

im the stig............ & so is my wife

[neilfab]

Who was the old one?

The original Stig was Perry McCarthy...alledgedly

[RhythmJunkie]

Who? :confused:

[hovis]

The original Stig was Paul McCarthy...alledgedly

:---)

[Kinvig]

Who was the old one?

I was in my shed looking for a piece of wood that I use to stir the paint, I cam back & there was a commotion on the wireless...consequently I'd missed it.

Thats the guy

[MeridiaNx]

Yeah, don't think the old one was that much of a secret, besides he's not been on it a long time now.

New/current one though, I'd be interested to know. I have a feeling it might be Damon too, don't know why though.

[Quiff Wichard]

mansell?

colin mcrae?

tiff needell ha ha

[Dan]

mansell?

colin mcrae?

tiff needell ha ha

I've kind of always had a secret hope that it's Tiff... especially after some of the comments he's made on 5th gear, like 'Stig that in your pipe and smoke it', I wouldn't be surprised!

[Stingo]

Je ne sais pas...


Divnt na.

[Skip]

Supposedly Ben Collins....

[stewie]

Elvis ?

[Quiff Wichard]

i really do think its tiff.. he drives like tiff.

[injury_ian]

I doubt it is tiff, Clarkson is well renowned to hate mr neddell, they had big disagreements in the original 'top gear' and slags him off in every book he has ever written!

[RhythmJunkie]

It does appear you may have hit the nail on the proverbial there 'Skip'! Good show old sport! :)

[RhythmJunkie]

Actually my mate who lives in Essex is the Stig! Well reknowned for his 40hp surfboard stunts! ;) Don't ask!! :)

[Rossi]

I'm the Stig! :p

[Alpinestarhero]

I reckon it could be an ex touring car driver......

Matt

oh yessssss

click on that link tot he top gear reort from wikpedia and there it is.!!

[Richie]

I was hoping it was Sabine Schmitz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Schmitz)

I love her... :smt057

[will]

not this guy then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Thompson_(racing_driver)

She's fit but you vill do as your told;)

[Richie]

:smt007 Ich würde alles tun, das sie mich fragte, daß um zu tun, wie ich sie sie liebe und respektiere, und sie wie ein Dämon fahren kann.

[Bluewolf]

Sabberst du oder hast du tollwut? ;) :lol:

[gettin2dizzy]

supposedly there is a few now- in order to keep us guessing!

[Richie]

Sabberst du oder hast du tollwut? ;) :lol:

Yes, I'm foaming at the mouth and no, I don't have rabies.

[RhythmJunkie]

There can't be many different ones unless they all look exactly the same in racing leathers! The body language tells you whether its the same person, I reckon whoever it is uses Hammonds body language to throw us off the scent. Then again he teaches Hammond to drive so Hammond is probably learning the Stigs body movements and posture!

Hammond....another biker! :) Gixxer 6 I believe?

[Dan]

Hammond....another biker! :) Gixxer 6 I believe?

Used to have a Blade.

Now he's got a 1098, GSXR1000, some BMW thing and a Hardly.

On a slightly related note, have a read of the 'Dismissal from Autocar Magazine' section on Jame's May's page on Wikipedia here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_May)... Very funny story which I've never heard before.

[RhythmJunkie]

1098 hhhhhoooooo I want one! Oops! Cats out of bag....come on you lot talk me out of it....tell me how badly they vibrate and how they eat tyres and gulp fuel and trash chains and break down every week and you have to wait for 9 months for parts and...and...and.....

This SV is all I dreamed a v-twin would be and a lot more besides. Yesterday on the way to Cumbria on the M6 I was passed by a large Ducati doing around 150 and the sound was just mesmerising! Probably looking a few years down the line though by which time the SV could be ready for retirement! ;)

:) WRC63 - just read the wikipedia link - it suggests that Damon Hill might be one of the Stigas:eek: !

Blimey , at least the other original point was right - ive never heard of Perry McCarthy !:)

Damon Hill's been suggested a few times in the past - and one of the early series Stigs definitely drove some of Damon Hill's lines as demonstrated when he drove the F1 car round the track about five series later.

[Heed]

I've always had a sneaking suspicion it's Jason Plato for some reason.

Doubtful as he presents Fifth Gear

[Viney]
