The stig is....

I think you are ascribing power and significance that really isn't there. It's just a programme about cars.

Yeah, perhaps. But consider this.

Clarkeson is a troll, a real life troll. We know it, he knows it and there's an almost punch n judy aspect going on there. But I reckon Hamster thinks his shit doesn't stink. I bet he's still all epiphanied-out from the NDE and thinks he is fucking JESUS.
 
i'm guessing schumacher only played the stig for that episode. he's probably the only bastard ferrari would let have a go on the million pound car.

Twat in "I'm-on-tv-lots" shocker. Fuck me, what a world we live in.

There's not almost a punch and judy aspect there, it's plain he's a wum out for laughs - no one can take him seriously.
 
Top Gear? That arse-dull paean to selfish, car-worshipping individualism presented by perpetual adolescents? Why should anyone care?
I think you might find that shit loads of people care, including many don't drive and are not interested in cars.

Though 'care' is not the appropriate term perhaps. 'Being interested in' would be better.
 
theres loads of stigs, this is known.

whoever said thats the only person they will let drive it, called it. Top gear like fucking with the internet.

I was shocked and appalled that schumacher cracked a couple of jokes. An another sterotype gone down in falmes.:D

It's amazing how many people are posting about this on facebook. "OMG carn't bayleaf that Mykal Shoomaker is da Stig!"
Bye bye, friend, this is where our acquaintance ends.

It's the most entertaining thing on TV by miles.

<e2a> I don't understand why people get so wound up by Top Gear. Indeed, for some people, making a point of criticising it seems to be a badge of right-on-ness. It's an entertainment show - if you don't like it, don't watch it. Simple as.

Firstly, ^^ this.

I think it's just an extension of the JC marmite factor.

me - I like JC, but not into cars so I read his weekly column in the paper instead of watching TG.
 
I am anti-car and pro amsterdam-style cycling utopia (but with more bikes and less cars), but occasionally find top gear entertaining and interesting. I don't like the presenters but the programme is OK sometimes.
 
This is it.

Schumacher has the only black FXX, he's the only person who's allowed to drive it in anger.

Not so. There are two others IIRC, owned by collectors in Japan and Italy, the latter of whom posts on fchat - these both have the tricoloure stipe, whilst MS's doesn't, so the one on Top Gear last night was almost certainly his personal car.

Sorry, did mean all black.

When I saw it last night I did say to the missus that it was Schumacher's and therefore he must be tonight's Stig.

*wishes he'd popped down the bookies now.

There's been at least 3 - Perry McCarthy, John Cleland, Heikki Kovalainen (Renault F1 car).
 
Because he's fucking dull? Good driver but when Top Gear moved away from the pure road test aspect there was no need for him...plus they had Perry McCarthy doing the original Stig stuff so had the pro driver angle covered.
 
I see. tbh, I'm bored to death with the current format; pretty much the same aircraft hanger/'cockhead' comments/race ideas/ celeb circuit crap every time.
 
I've often wondered, why did Tiff leave - was he pushed or did he jump ?

im convinced tiff was the original stig and he was covered up, so channel 5 couldn't complain. They had such a low budget i cant imagine it being anyone other then one of clarksons mates.

Nobody should, except the millions who watch it, oh and any Government (or Government in waiting) that wants those millions of tax-payers to vote for them (outnumbering exponentially, the votes of the teeny number of shrill joyless eco-numpties).
 
The lap was awesome, the train vs car vs bike race was aces and the series previews looked brilliant, especially the Veyron vs Maclaren F1 race...
