According to UK press and indeed, Jeremy Clarkson’s own article, tonight’s all new season’s first episode of the BBC’s Top Gear will reveal the identity of The Stig.
Well my thought on this is – which one?
There are several Stigs from what I can tell, and all of them vary in height and weight. For q
uite some time I believed the original white Stig was former Formula One driver Johnny Herbert – I was convinced in fact. Yet through later appearances and shows I wasn’t so sure. As far as I am aware, Johnny Herbert still lives in Monaco and it would cost quite a bit of money t
o fly him up all the time. That said, Top Gear is the BBC’s most popular international export and creates a great deal of revenue for the BBC.
Then there are all of the Stig’s cousins… Stig’s African, American, Communist and Trucker cousins in fact…
However, I have yet to watch the show and so some time later today, I’m sure there will be an update to the post.
UPDATE:
Schumacher?! - Not a chance!
Because they tested the Farrari FXX on the track, and there is no way in hell that Farrari would let anyone else drive it!
No, the Stig is not Mr Schumacher…
I agree…He was The Stig for a day!!
I just started watching this show a few weeks ago, so at least I know what this post is about…LOL
You watch the show? thats great, what do you think of it? It’s a bit nuts – but then they are belligerent middle aged men. LOL
They do sarcasm well, especially on that Ford Fiesta vid I posted a while back.
The Youtube channel has most of there races and other weird stuff on.

My Brother suggested it to me as he is into all things CAR….I never bothered until he told me it was more of a comedy… I loved it!! It is a bit nuts, but where else are you gonna see a good tractor race….LOL
You’ve not seen the vid on my Youtube page(in 3 parts) with them having a go at trucking?
Here they are :

Ohhhhhh, and you have provided the links… WONDERFUL!! You do realize that I am watching replays of the series, so I have no idea when the original air dates were…. Tonight I watched amphibious crossing of English Channel in a Toyota Truck…..and a stretch Fiat Panda limosine fall apart …. I love it!!
I still think this is the best car test ever, very tongue in cheek, with a great ending. Nice piss take.
The Stig finally reveals his true identity… (Pictures)…
Yes! It was me, all along!……
