I was in Orlando at A Dealers Mini Countryman Party and I can't believe I actually got a photograph of the "STIG" without his helmet or race suit.

I'm sure this is him because his T-shirt gives him away.

 

 

Lolz!!

 

Nice haircut

 

That Race Suit really changes the shape of the body !!!!!! .....


LOL!!!

 

Some say he's wanted by the CIA, and that he sleeps upside down like a bat...

 

I love Top Gear on BBC, but am I the only one that thinks the New American Top Gear on the History Channel is nowhere near as good as the BBC version? I don't mean to hijack the thread, but hopfully this isn't too far off topic.
I am a fan of History Channel and I have tried watching the new show three times, but I can't seem to sit through it and wind up changing the channel.

 

It did start off bad because the three guys were stiff and unsure. They are now starting to relax and the show is starting to get it.

If you try not to compare it to the BBC version it is easiers to get the entertainment value out of Topgear America.

There will never be a group of three guys as good as the one's on BBC Top Gear. They just mesh like "TOP GEARS"

At least we now know what the "STIG" looks like without his race stuff on.

 

It's quite awful. This is America, after all. We invented car culture. Of all the interesting people out there who are also car nuts, they hire three bland nerds to do burnouts in a Z. So many topics to talk about, so many cars to test in so many ways, and that's all they can come up with. The previews for this week's show them on some sort of trip way up in Alaska, playing in the mud. Who cares?

The BBC show sends me running to the FF button a lot (let's admit it, Clarkson can be quite an *** at times) but at least they make up for it by honestly testing the cars we all lust after, and surprising me with cars I wouldn't think of owning.

 

The British version is definitely better, but I still really like the US version too. I don't really understand the races between cars, planes and boats they have though, I wish they would just focus on cars. They should test more at the track too.

I was surprised at how much I liked last night's Alaska episode, it was quite entertaining.

 

NICE
I have that shirt myself.
LOVE the BCC Top Gear, US has no chance.

 

I still don't know how they figure a Dodge Viper is faster than 3 Lamborghini's.
Pretty sure they rigged that one ... first episode I believe.

 

They totally picked the wrong hosts for the US show. Hard to come close to the UK hosts.

 

funny...everyone wan to be stig

 

And I captured a photo of the Stig driving his MINI on the Dragon!!

 

+1

 

jealous! lol

 

But.... I thought I was the.........

 

man, the STIG really let himself go huh....or, must be the US STIG, hahahaha!

yeah, for me, I have also yet to watch a full episode of TG:US, I just hop on finalgear.com and download the current episode of TG:UK [LAST EPISODE THIS SEASON THIS SUNDAY! ] no one, and I mean no one, can have the amount of character as the Ambitious, but Rubbish Trio! and am I the only one to see James as the funniest on there? his double entendres and inuendo that he slips in occasionally is HILARIOUS! point proven:
