So who is The Stig? by James

So what good is served by telling them that this man – if that's what he is – is just some bloke from Bristol? It's an absurd notion anyway. I'm from Bristol.

It gets worse. The other day, at a party, I met a man called David Tennant, who seemed a decent and perfectly ordinary sort of bloke. But then someone told me he was actually Dr Who.

I also happen to know that Gordon Ramsay once ordered a takeaway.

In fact, I'll start you off. He's not Chinese. That immediately rules out 1,330,044,534 people.*

*As of July 2008.

Go James!!!

Yep, love this column. The first quote is my favourite.

"David Tennant" is a pseudonym The Doctor uses, like "Mr. Smith". Everyone knows this ^^

What does he mean, Dr Who isn't real? Awww.

Hmm.... let's see..... k, I think I almost have it..... OH SHI- JAMES MAY'S THE STIG!

Or, at the least, he's the man.

Maybe now, all of this stupidity, this obsession with finding out which man is in the overalls will end.

I love reading the guys' columns. I feel like my first FinalGear post fits this subject matter(Santa vs. Stig vs. Dr. Who similarities) quite well and figured I'd go find it and repost it:

Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don't you see? It's not just Kris KringleThe Stig that's on trial, it's everything he stands for. It's kindness speed and joy driving and love powersliding and all the other intangibles.

just because james may wrote something on the subject? don't get your hopes high, i rather expect you to be in for quite a bit of a disappointment
of course, i'd like it that way, too...
