Ash-Kennard Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 yeah dave, ben is black, mike is white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 No, the black one was Perry McCarthy, probably with the occasional replacement when he was unavailable. Ben's been the white one for the vast majority of shows, and the Top Gear Live shows etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 No, Perry McArthy was the black stig, killed off when he wrote about it in his book. More recently Ben Collins was found to be a stig when he tried to have a large picture of himself framed and was recognised in the shop in bristol.Rumour also has it Lewis Hamilton did a short stint as Stig when Mclaren wanted him to gain experience of driving all sorts of different high performance cars.

Muel Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Why has may not gotten wet once?and hammond hasnt left the rain Because Top Gear is scripted, and they often record their races on different days apparantly.The race between Jeremy in the RS4 and the climber was recorded on different days apparantly.

Adam-Griffin Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 In the first episode of the 13th series of Top Gear, broadcast on 21 June 2009, it was 'revealed' that The Stig is Michael Schumacher. However at the end of the show this was shown to be an elaborate joke.Quoted from wikipedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Michael Schumacher! Haha, cool.I personally can understand that there may be many different people as the stig.Maybe they revealed the stig as Schumacher so people would stop asking?

Pashley26 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) jardo, the black shadow has one carb on the right hand side (for the rear cylinder) and on the left hand side (front cylinder)Gutted, I didn't realize he was on a Shadow...Most Rapides have that configuration now, because the two heads are exactly the same the front head gets used for the rear but backwards or remolded because the back ones get hot and crack. My uncles is the same Edited June 21, 2009 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
