snails's_pace

Any ideas on who you think Top Gears "The Stig" might be?

I thought, maybe Damon Hill as he lives in godalming where top gear is filmed ( well its filmed at dunsfold aerodrome)

Ok i'll come clean.....

It's me!

Ok well I have to admit it. Saving money isn't my only job on TV... although I must admit there's a great conflict between my too roles. Do you know what driving like that does to the wear and tear on a car, and petrol usage, totally diminishes its life span.

Martin

I can't remember his name but it's a youngish bloke (early 20's) who is a test driver for a WRC (rally car) team! :think:

So I'm told by a very good source!

Its me!

Sorry ... just dreaming again!

Anyway, take a look at this for an in depth look at the Stig ...

I thought it was Damon Hill too!

Can't be Martin - I saw him on TV for the first time tonight (video'd as I can't get TONIGHT in Spain) and I don't think he could sit still long enough to be the Stig!

It's generally believed to be Ben Collins ...

I wouldn't believe anything you read on the internet though about him being outed ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Collins_(driver)

Ben is used as a driver in loads of features ... the Aygo football/ice hockey ... and the Bowler WildCat are the only ones that I can think of off the top of my head ... but ... *shrug* ...

To be honest ... I don't want to know ... I couldn't care less ... the legend is more impressive than if it was someone famous ... "some say he appears on high value stamps in Sweden" ... quality

I also wouldn't waste your time signing up to applausestore for TG tickets ...

I've been on that list almost 3 years ... no joy as yet ... and don't ever expect to get anything through ...

Apparently the best way to get tickets is to send them a story/e-mail/show idea and then beg ...

Or ... get a job working for a supercar manufacturer ... and undertake a high risk operation to get Mr Clarkson's application for his new motor pushed up the waiting list ...

(anybody who gets that reference is just as geeky as me)

my sister works in a filling station locally to the aerodrome, she's served Clarkson before and like NOT ASKED HIM FOR TICKETS DUUHHHHHH :doh:
