who is the stig?

[Mattk]

a good driver who they make out to be amazing.

[jenstar]

None of your business. But if you really want to know, well, you've got access to the world wide web - why not try a bit of research? I mean, I could tell you who it is, but given that the Stig's identity is *supposed* to be a mystery it doesn't seem quite right to just tell you. (It's probably not anyone you've heard of, though.)

[tiggertan]

Jenstar, that's not a very nice reply.

[jenstar]

But on this question, don't you think it should be a *little* bit harder than just ask-and-be-told? And it's not much harder to do a web search.

I'll help shall I.

Perry McCarthy was the original Stig. He was replaced by Ben Collins

[galltin]

Not sure why it isn't stevenflett's business?!? Isn't using this site using the world wide web? He did and , thanks to 4getmenot , now knows the answer.
