I managed to get 2 laps out with the stig
We went to the topgear filming yesterday
Got there way early to make sure (12.00) even thou the studio doors don't open till 2pm
so while i was in the aerodrome had a wonder round, and noticed the stig driving a ford focus RS around with passengers (i think they were friends of
the crew)
he was taking 3 at a time and at the end only had to passengers left, so he waved me over, so got 2 laps in the back was rather cool.
he drove it like a rally car! lots of lift off oversteer i even spoke to him, lid on of course
our show should go out this sunday but it's been put back for the snooker! so ours will be the end of series the 3rd jan
jeremy does like using the F word rather a lot!

Good word of advice there - if you do get tickets get their early. Me and a fairly large group of friends got tickets very early on in the first or
second series, booked a half day off work (I would've taken the whole day but not everyone could and we were sharing cars etc) but got caught up
in traffic. We were still very much on time but they'd already let as many people in as they could so we got turned away. Disappointed? Yes!
Got offered more tickets for a future show but they still wouldn't guarantee entry - most of the group couldn't be bothered after wasting
all that time on the first attempt.
Meh.
Cool that you got some laps out though

Yea he was rather chatty, nice bloke even shook his hand when i got out the car
Hobbsy that happened to us 3 weeks ago.
got there before the doors should open to be told they had already closed them.
disapointed wasn't the word, security guard was nice enuff did feel sorry for him, as there was a long line of car tryiny to get in.
but yesterday made up for that with the stiggy
btw thats isn't me with the bald head
i took the pic before i went out. also got a vid clip while he was hooning it around the last corner

Original Black suited Stig was Perry McGrath. White Suited Stig is alegedly "mostly" Ben Collins but he does have stunt doubles IMHO

I was under the impression he was multiple people, and that some of the cars came with their own test drivers who'd be dressed as the stig. I
honestly don't care who he is as it would ruin it to know for sure, to me he is a mystical character (Albeit played by anonymous actors).
