Who is the stig??
 
does anyone think they know who the stig is? [topgear]
my dad thinks its Stig Blomqvist, famous Swedish Rally driver.
the first stig [the black one] was Perry McCarthy, former F1 driver.
i think it could be Nigel Mansell

i dont have a clue though

I dunno.. but is he is wanted by the CIA, and if set on fire, he would burn for a thousand days.. all i know, hes called the stig!

Northy 22-10-2007 02:43 PM

I know his knees are double jointed so he can kick his own ass! :D

i came across a thread on AutoBlog that had a german clip on and they interviewd the Stig.. didnt watch it as it had loads of crap german stuff before hand but the guys at Autoblog reckoned it was Damon Hill

EDIT* just watched it and its dutch...! and it doesnt sound like Hill to me could have just put a random in stig suit to throw em off the scent

The old Stig was Perry McCarthy, a lot of people think the new one is Ben Collins ;)

vader 22-10-2007 03:59 PM

But how do you know that is true. I could put a page up saying it's the wife and would you think that is the stig:eh?:

xx4-nutter 22-10-2007 04:50 PM

its Pete from castle models, we all know what he does on saturdays, but what does he do during the week ? :o haha

Northy 22-10-2007 05:16 PM

I think it's lil Ben's dad, he's an unknown rally driver, with a cool nickname :rolleyes:

MattW 22-10-2007 05:21 PM

I think there have actually been a few at various points.

A couple of years ago it was Ben Collins, not sure if it is still him or not, i'll have to give my "man that knows" a call!!

I spoke to a guy who works in a unit on the same estate, and he told me exactly that.

Perry Mccarthy was the Stig in black overalls, and he got sacked for something. The Stig in white is Ben Collins and thats a certain (I kept saying "are you sure?" to the guy who told me).

But, when there are some proto cars or high value cars going around the test track, the Stig is quite often the driver sent with the car from the manufacturer rather than the Stig. I can understand that.

I was told it was Jeremy Clarkson himself :|

MattW 22-10-2007 09:56 PM

Nah, the Stig is a much better driver than Clarkson.
