lol

I'm just amazed to took so long before someone impersonated him.
But the fact he had body guards, and two cars, suggests it not just one looney, but maybe some planned prank?

If it really was the Stig, would he drive around in public with his gear on and risk attracting attention? That would have been the first thing that came to mind for me had I spotted him.

I am so tempted to get "all Stigged up" in white racing suit and helmet and drive the Caterham round.

I even found a website that caters for Stig-wannabees.

You'd be surprised at how stupid people can be.
Some numbskull at my work saw a guy driving a Caterham with a white helmet on and swore that it was the stig..

They are launching an enquiry? What are they going to do, sue him for dressing up and posing for some photos?

[hornetrider]

Viral marketing perhaps?

A BBC spokeswoman said: “It would appear there is an imposter going round pretending to be the Stig.

“An enquiry will be launched, we want to find out who it is."

I have a feeling this man might be called Simpson.

Shorter and slimmer build than the real Stig, wrong helmet too.

That's so obviously not the stig, far too short and the shoulders are too thin. It looks like a woman to me.

I think he's rearranged Peugeot 406 badges above that NOS badge as well.

Yes, rly.

Such an obvious fake.

I thought about getting the Stig outfit for my motorbike. Emphasis on thought, and for like 2 seconds!

Funny once. Worth the, probably around a, grand for a giggle? No!
