    I've had TG tickets via appaluse!! Infact about 18 of us went!

    I thought the Stig had been a couple of different drivers!!

  • I saw a pair on ebay once for over £100 ... no idea what they went for in the end ...

    Laughable and upsetting all at the same time ...

    Well my ds has a T-shirt that says he's the stig, so it must be him. My other ds's t-shirt says that he's the stig's fat cousin. So now you know.
  • You'll never know until the current Stig leaves. The last Stig that let slip his identity got the sack.
    This country is called Great Britain. It would be called Amazing Britain if it wasn't for people like you pulling the average down

    I don't think it is Damon Hill, I thought he lived in Ireland most of the time and also I think the Stig looks too short to be Damon. I always thought that it was Johnny Dumfries, F1 driver from quite a few years ago.

    No, it wont be Damon - he has been the star in a reasonably priced car before, and if my geeky memory serves me correctly he was slower than stig, beside Damon is to busy running car dealerships now - he owns my local Audi dealer (which is quite poor)

    Never heard that name suggested before, although I think him and Clarkson are mates - they do that MPH thing together
