it cant be jeremy coz the stig is short and the stig handled the golf super car whereas jez didnt. how do you know its not the same guy as before jus in diff clothing.

some say his left nipple has the exact outlined shape as the nurburgring, all i know is hes called the stig!!

The Stig is a stick - Blomqvist and Mansell ate all the pies!! However it is, they are definitely not in the frame! (They don't fit in the frame!! )

Absolutely cracking book, well recommended as a good read. I didn't end up liking him as a person though.

I believe Perry wanted to do some presenting a la Tiff Needell so the Beeb replaced him with a variety of drivers to make sure that a Stig was always available when they need to do filming.

Which makes you wonder who is the fastest Stig?

And I may be a grumpy old man but I hate those links when introducing him.

From what I gather, the Stig was Perry McCarthy, as said above. When he wrote his book that was out just after the first *new* series, he gave away the fact he was the Stig in his book, and then replaced. This was then reported in one of the "red top" papers and subsequently, Jeremy Clarkson ended up punching the editor - Piers Morgan.

The next Stig was Ben Collins. Dunno if he still is.

That's how I understand it anyway.

i thought the next stig was Ben Collins but it keeps changing. and when a new car is taken round the track, it is done by some1 who knows the car, like some1 is sent with the car to topgear and he puts in the lap

I think that was over the Mirror claiming Clarkson had an affair.


I really need to get out more.

it's definately the same driver each time, and I know it has also been Tim Harvey, couldn't tell you who the latest Stig is though...

Have you ever been in a car with stan? I can definately say that he is NOT the Stig, hes' more of an Ukyo Katayama type...
