Definitely not DH, or any other ex-F1 or mega famous faces.

I know because I've been in a group of BBC TG people and later found out one of them was "the stig", and I didn't recognise any of them.

Does anyone else think it might be Colin McCrea ? Drives like a nutter & is sponsered by Alpinestar - just like McCrea.

It cant be Mike Rainbird because 'The Stig' can drive

It cant be Bosch-Man because that would mean leaving the house and we all know that the closest Phil will get to a Track is when he gets his Scalextric out.


Its not Tiff or Vicky as they are contracted to Channel 5 and The Stig is far smoother than that auld gimmer Needell

Plus it cant be VBH as I dont get the involutary stiffy whenever shes on the screen


Does anyone really care ?
