Care to name and shame the currant stig■■?
206doorman:
Or name some of the earlier ones?
Don’t know (for definate) who the current ones are as I’ve not been there for the last 2 series. The earlier ones names are all well known to be linked to ‘The Stig’ but you’d be hard pressed to get anything confirmed untill Top Gear reveals them & holds a reunion or such like.
It’s not top secret & there was nothing to sign or any official mention about not revealing identities, it’s just part of the lore that surrounds the production.
AIUI it was always intended to keep ‘The Stig’ anonymous so they could pick from whoever’s available to suit filming schedules.
I have heard there has been more than 1 Stig per series, and also some of the car companies have supplied their own Stig’s to do the Lap in as they can get the best out of their own car,
Is there any truth in that?

really? i have been told he is the friendliest man you can tour with by several people
like kindle said we do it for a job, i have had a pint with matt and david from little britian, and met several others, but by far the friendliest have been the gus from kasabian, who always shook my hand and said he whenever they saw me
