I saw the Stig today

[Daniel1]

Driving near shepherds bush in london in the Jeremy clarkson custom vehicle scooter thing...



I assume it's for the upcoming season. Wonder what they're up to? I think it had luminous green strips painted on it.

looks like this series will be worth watching

That's not the stig.

or maybe not. Like the last few before it.

Well they've already done a segment on the P45 or whatever it was called a couple of series back. Another case of (seriously) running out of original ideas?...

Hasnt been the same since the DB9 trip era. Down hill from there imo.

Quite possibly.

I don't really blame them so much these days. The genuinely think what they make these days is what the public want. (given the average iq of the UK these days. Perhaps they ARE! ) Just look at the TG thread on this site.

"It was well funny innit when that car exploded. I never even saw it coming yeah blud"

It's no wonder they are confused as to what people want to see on TG.

And no, before the vocal cock ends start up with their "don't watch it then". We don't want OLD 1980s TG either. That was st as well.

(well not all of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtXDeJSdpBc )

Sadly sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet

I do.

That's not Top Gear though, it was called something like "Clarkson meets the neighbours". They took a Griffith to Switzerland, and then parked it outside the casino in Monte Carlo.

ETA: It wasn't that, it was Clarkson's Motorworld.

Loved this. Also the one with the Ferrari Scaglietti to Verbier (IIRC)

I used to criticise the TG episode where the races over hundreds of miles came down to mere seconds and were so clearly fixed/set-up/scripted....


....but then I was really disappointed with the one where the result wasn't even close (Merc SLR I think?)




TG can't win.

I do watch those races and think that no matter what car Jeremy drives, if it's a race outside of Germany, any car would win, whether it's an Aston Martin or a little 1.2 Clio...I'm presuming he's limited by the speed limits though.
