The Stig - unmasked

**pritch** · 20th January 2009, 21:08

I'd never heard of either of them and having a real severe case of short term memory loss I couldn't remember the names anyway.

I can't even figure out who Bruce McLearn was, did he invent toothpaste?

I may have Alzheimers, but at least I don't have Alzheimers.

The Stig's name has been revealed:

I know this isn't bikes... but Top Gear gets a lot of coverage here, so thought it would be of interest.

Suppose there will be a new one introduced soon... wonder what colour his suit will be?

Excellent!!

That should wind up a few of the "lesser teams"!

Darn.....
I was hoping it was Hill.
Somehow Collins doesn't come as a surprise to me. I think I was digging through the report on Hammond's accident and stumbled across his name.

All people at the track were named in the report, and Hammond mentioned the Stig was there that day, but didn't name him.
The report had to though.

As for what colour the next one will be?
Well..... Purple?
Who will it be?
Well, I wonder what David Coulthard is up to these days.....

Well the Stig obviously isn't the Highlander...there can be more than one!

**Hitcher** · 22nd January 2009, 12:45

One wonders if there's a Stug for the Topgear "concert" in Auckland?

**MisterD** · 22nd January 2009, 13:48

One would have to assume that some unemployed Aussie V8 driver will be given a white race suit...
