GreenGirl Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I heard from inside sources it has changed a couple of times, and is an exracing driver who would be well known ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 The first Stig wore black nomex and they killed him off some years ago because his identity was revealed (Perry McCarthy - ex F3000 and Formula One test driver/non-qualifying racer)..... A lot of people think that the new Stig is Ben Collins (former NASCAR and F3 driver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I thought the Stig was Egluntine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Egluntine, you're not alone. I have noooooooooo idea what they're all talking about . The only Stig I know is Stig of the Dump . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think there's something very appealing about a man in nomex...hubby used to be a rally driver, and the sight of him in nomex...swoon....it's the same with bike leathers - he's also a biker and I often tell him I'm happy for him to wear his leathers about the house if he wishes.....

Cinnamon Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ditto on the bike leathers.They are very appealing,apart from the creaking noise they make I especially like it when The Hubby wears his to his meets,with his DJ on underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 hubby used to be a rally driver, I would love to be a co-driver but get sick being a passenger going round a roundabout oooh you wouldn't do well in with hubby then, he's a very quick (but safe) driver....I remember many years ago, when I was still a primary school teacher, I was taking my class on a school trip, and stayed the night at hubby-to-be's parents....we overslept I got up and realised I was 45 minutes from the school and we only had about 35...he said "Don't worry, we'll take the rally car".....he had a bright yellow ex-works Ford Escort rally car, with the stickers on, the rollcage, the lot....he drove me through these twisting country lanes to the school at what seemed like the speed of light....the final bit came down a long hill with a series of bends and the school was at the bottom, so you could see bits of the road from the school car park (where the bus was parked, full of children and the other teacher who didn't like me anyway )....hubby was hurtling down this hill and the exhaust system was roaring and popping away, he came flying into the carpark and did a handbrake turn into a parking space....my beloved kiddies were shrieking and cheering and were all on one side of the bus (looked like it might fall over at any point!)....but I just wish you could see the other teacher's face....it looked like thunder. From that day I was the super cool teacher to the children, but the other teacher never spoke to me again, up to the day I left!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
