What's the deal with the Stig and the New Stig??

[maq]

Is the old Stig really dead or is that a joke?

 

[Viper007Bond]

Joke (I assume).

 

[VUK]

joke

 

[xkwilson]

Definitely a joke! It could be the same person...u'll never know. I guess becos the STIG's identity was exposed after Series 2 and they did this to confuse the audience so as to maintain the STIG's mysteriousness.

old stig wrote a book and his identity got out , maybe before the book or after, they decided to go with a new person after that.

Do you guys know Stig is, Has anyone seen his real face, or the history of Sting?
I don't know anything about the guy. anyway it would be great if i new a little more about him.

 

[Viper007Bond]

The name of a past Stig was leaked in a book he wrote.

:lol: comon!!

 

[Makinen]

Why on earth do they call it "The Stig"?
Stig is a name here in Sweden, but I don't know if that has something to do about it. There once was a rally driver called Stig Blomqvist...

 

[WhiteRabbit]

YEAH!!! wtf does "stig" mean?

 

[Renesis]

Aurgh! enough is enough! let the old topic rest in peace!!!!

 

[WhiteRabbit]

U want me to open a new one?!
comeon man answer my question :\

 

[SiR_dude]

Dude, read the forum. THis question was already asked and discussed . As was said earlier, the old Stig did not die, his id got leaked, and they (Top Gear) wanted to keep it a secret. So they get a "new" Stig. He could be the same person for all we know, or a different one. But they needed some way to get rid of the old Stig. Hence the "death" part.

 

[Renesis]

actually his question is about the meaning of the word stig.. it's been discussed before and noone knows

 

[Viper007Bond]

YEAH!!! wtf does "stig" mean?

You should really read this thread - it has been answered (or at least suggested).

I did read the the thead and I didn't find an answer and im even more intrigued now cause on the last ep someone said he cat is named "stig"
so..what does it mean? I searched all over the place dictionarys and what no

 

[Jostyrostelli]

Stig means: A pig with a sting...and obviously that guy was named after a pig...because he looks like a pig and he was ones stong by a wasp.
:?

 

[SiR_dude]

^ :lol: Creative. Or maybe it's stick + wig = stick. Like he was so skinny, so they called him a stick wearing a wig, hence the Stig?
