clootie Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Is that not a joke Justine? Especially after all the hype about who it is a while back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 could be but didn't seem like it, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 They're little tinkers on that programme, you're never quite sure what's going on! You could be right Justine, just had a google or two - it does look it unless they're being super devious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The current stig is Ben Collins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The current stig is Ben Collins. Said who? Although Jeremy Clarkson said "I'm not sure if Michael Schumacher is The Stig", and the fact that Michael Schumacher was listed in the credits as being a "guest star" both hint towards it being an elaborate joke.

Lesley Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 BBC News 24 is saying that the Stig was revealed on Top Gear as Schumacher........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It could just be a publicity stunt! I'm sure there'll be a new one soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 BBC Breakfast think it's a stunt as well........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Especially as The Stig was "lost" in the last frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It's not Michael Schumacher, he was over here to watch the British GP and they had him on as a gues star; getting him to dress up as The Stig was a great way to do it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It was Shumi driving the Ferrari as he's one of their test drivers. Ferrari wouldn't let just anyone drive a million pound car, would they? He isn't the usual Stig though he's quite a lot bigger than Shumi. It was a good "interview" though.....amazing he's only banned in 9 US states!

quickcluck Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I agree, I was funny, but thought it sounded a tad rehe"Ooops, word censored!"d! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I definitely reckon it was a stunt and agree about the ferrari and title credits too. Just a one off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have heard that Schumacher drove the ferrari for the fastest lap, as it's his car and he wouldn't let anyone else drive it! I've always thought that there were several Stig's, depending on availability and what was needed on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I've also heard that it was a publicity stunt - the real Stig is supposed to be Ben Collins - a stunt driver. That fact was leaked a few weeks ago. I doubt that BBC budgets would stretch to Schumie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Son came bounding down the stairs to tell me last night, really excited that the Stig was Michael S. Had to point out that it was a joke!!!! He's very disappointed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have fairies in my flower pots, pixies in my tree trunks & an imp that lives with me. Didn't it end on a cliffhanger about the stig? The stig is not Schumacher!!!!! It was done to get everyone watching! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
