Who is the Stig exactly?

Spoiler

top gear dog

 

[Slick Rick]

they took a bog standard road car with 45,000 miles and modified to go racing......

I think it was more an issue of the amount time and preparation they put in like Dave said. 45000 miles isnt that much to an engine....

Found this photo of a nearly un-masked Stig.

Noooo I don't really want to know who he is! I would rather think of him as not being human!.....it hilarious, it would loose its touch if everyone knew!

I cringed when I saw the TVR crash though .

guess thats what happens when you put a LS7 in a TVR to create a "Speed 12 beater"

How tall is Richard Hammond?

 

[Dave A]

According to a google search, he's 5'7.

 

[Dougboy]

How tall is Richard Hammond?

"How short is Richard Hammond?" is the correct question.

 

[Turbo Lag]

Im only like 5'2. Maybe he looks short on TV or something. Clarkson is 6'5.

"I'll have you know I'm not actually that short. I'm 5ft 7ins, which is a fairly normal height. It's just that I have to stand next to giant Jeremy, who's about 8ft tall." - Hammond.

Why James May was fired from Autocar magazine.

[Turbo Lag]

Eh? But i still dont think Hammond is 5'7.
It said on some pages that people who had seen him said the he was definately not that tall.

Oh and daan, i knew that ages ago but still sometimes gives me a laugh.

Didnt know that! Nor did I know he was doing anything to do with cars in 1992!..... I thought Top Gear just picked a random guy off the street!

Quite funny what he did in the mag though!

Robin

Oh and forgot to ask....... will there be a Top Gear Xmas Special???

 

[Dave A]

I apologise in advance.

[YSSMAN]

Did I miss something with the Autocar thing?

"So you think its really good yeah you should try making the bloody thing u pits are al pain in the arse"

Rough times in 1992?

 

[Solid Lifters]

I don't know what he's talking about. Make what up? False reviews of the cars? The special issue?

 

[daan]

He meant that it was a pain to edit and put the special issue together. He didn't make the reviews up.

 

[MagpieRacer]

It's OK, Robin.

THOUGHT. Mr. Graham.

I didn't have that thought

The series finale should be good, I just hope they have another supercar
