Im ok babe - having a good time......erm ........... not really lol but i'll be ok

Hope you've been keeping well babe

 

does anyone know who the stig is yet?

 

I would also like to know

 

Nice one Katie

 

How often is that question asked on here

 

i was offerd to go there with work as our chief engineer is there and rang me almost crying cause he was so bloody bored he has to sit round all day and just drive the car round a show ring every couple of hours at 5 mph

 

well......................

 

I went to the press night on Thursday.....

Never saw you there Katie??The show is good,bit small,but good

The live action thing they do was cool too.ESP when they do the 3D thing with the helicopter,and the exige!!!!

Pete..

 

the stig is a guy called perry mcarthy, ex-f1 racing driver (though not very successful), he started in single seaters back in the day with tim harvey.

 

mph show was embarrasing! the 75 min show was ok,full of cars driving at 3mph though! and russ swift t boning an astra vxr with his and then crashing into the barrier was funny(deffo not on purpose,all the airbags deployed,bits of bumper everywhere etc ) but the bit outside that was shite,there were about 20 cars,and a quarter of the traders were selling bits like pens or showers(i kid you not!) or leather bags,it was like a sunday market! i hope the london one is better (im goin next week with me dad) as ill certainly be writing to complain about the NEC one,we went round the whole show inside half an hour!

 

But he got fired for announcing the fact in his book.

 

Yup. So new Stig is



What makes it funny is hes been on Top Gear before without the Helmet. Just no one knew it was him at the time

 

Who the fook is that then Rich, still don't recognise the guy!

 

It The Stig!



I got no idea either

 

Anyone see a guy on a mountain bike jumping over saabs,
He rang me and said he was drinking with the stig

Sounds like a great show, i think its gunna be in london soon

 

His name might be on the tip of my tounge but I couldn't spell it if I remember it! I know who I mean tho!
