That's it. I wonder who will be next.

[SpatiallyAware]

Shameful.

 

[AdamK47]

Snore

 

[sdifox]

pretty sure they would write in clauses that prevent this on the contract after the first one. Apparently not...

 

[Aharami]

i wanna see a pink stig next

 

[PricklyPete]

I bet it will be the gray stig next. Sad to see the white stig go.

 

[GTaudiophile]

I bet on a Red or Blue Stig next.

Or better yet: Camouflage Stig, played by Sabine Schmitz.

They would guess her identity immediately... besides the breasts/hips...I don't think she could keep her mouth closed...she'd be making fun of Jeremy or James May before they even got a word in.

uhh, I think they did. Isnt that why Collins had to sue/threaten to in order to write his book?

I just came to post this. Makes me sad, he made a good Stig.



*edit* I hope no one buys his stupid book...

Wow, WTF?

You must have been pissed finding out about Santa and the Easter Bunny.

 

[Kabob]

No, but if he's gonna sell out so he can make money on his book I'm against it. He destroyed the character they created.

Didn't Schumacher test drive the FXX for them and beat this Stig's time by like 4 or 5 seconds? When I saw that I realized this guy has no reason to keep a secret identity. Maybe out of embarassment I suppose.

eh - I read wrong. It's a fun gimmick I guess.

The real Stig never even touched the FXX, it was Schumacher's own personal car and yeah, they did it as a gimmick (the car was illegal for their time chart anyways since it isn't a street car).

 

[MJinZ]

Who cares. Now we can have a gay pink Stig. Maybe rainbow stig.

Oooh if they made the next stig a womenz (show the boobs) that would be a twist!!! But women can't drive.

Seriously? You do know this has happened before and will happen again, right?

 

[Kabob]

I know it has, doesn't mean I have to like it though.

 

[MrWizzard]

Maybe they will do a stig with stripes like a zebra. Well not stripes but a tron like design in black and white. That way he will look more like a machine.

James May is the Stig

I thought that was the truth for the longest time

 

[sdifox]

I don't particularly care who The Stig is. The whole point to the gag was to not know who he is.

Exactly...that way you can believe he has some magic power that is more capable than any driver out there. I mean really...who can run that track better than the Stig...no one...because they are not the Stig...he is infallible...they are all fallible. Plus he has balls made out of titanium and eats valves in a bowl of transmission fluid for breakfast.
