    Some say he's more beloved than Pie.

    That's setting the bar pretty low I'd have thought. I doubt there's that many things less beloved than PIE.

    I'll bet that the Stig will never spin out and crash like this thread has.

    Must be a very frustrating job - can't tell everyone you're him, have to go around on tv in a helmet full-time and if your kids tell their mates, they all go "yeah, right he is".

    Hang on, maybe Clarkson was shouting about Stig-er?

    Ah, but has there ever been an episode where you've seen "him" park?

    I'm sure women are pretty sick of the stig-ma related to their driving skills. I like the Stig because sometimes on Top Gear it's nice to have a man on the show that keeps quiet and gets on with the task in hand without any faffing about.

    I enjoyed seeing him falling out of his seat in the jcb fastrack. He looked like he was grabbing for his life as he swiped at the steering wheel while he fell off his seat mid corner.

    Class bloke!
