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?

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... Very funny story which I've never heard before.

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 !

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.

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