The Stig: Stig at British Grand Prix 2008

GTI WR6 · July 8th, 2008, 12:09 AM

He was there yesterday, He might have been the one driving the Santander Formula car before the race. He did 3 laps. I was there. It did look like the stig's helmet when he was driving, but I did not see him get out of the car.

But saw a pic of him and Hamilton in the newspaper today. Also BBC website confirms he was there.

search for Stig, or got to 1152.

I'll look for the pic now.

Sorry if this is a repost.

It was raining heavily though. I am feeling so depressed right now!!!

Don't have a scanner so took a pic with my phone. Sorry for the quality.

It says The Stig with Lewis, but that's not Lewis.

I'm just too happy right now. Saw the Stig and spotted my first Veyron yesterday. images/smilies/smile.gif

Am I one of the privileged few to have seen him? Anyone else on this board spotted The Stig?

hah 5 of the 6 first posts were from 1 person images/smilies/lol.gif

Not really surprised though, the BBC is getting coverage rights aren't they? The hype machine is starting already.

From ^ that link:

"One notable absentee was McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton, who pulled out at the last minute due to a lip injury..."

Come on, now. Are you freakin' serious? A lip injury is enough to keep you from driving a car???

We might not know who The Stig is, but I'm starting to think Lewis Hamilton might really be Deion Sanders.

Wow... that's quite a suit he's got there. I didn't realize it was ever fashionable to wear a suit without a shirt of any kind.

I can't decide what's worse: the fact that he released an album, that some record label thought it was a good idea to publish it, or that you bought it. Do you have Shaq's album, too?

JCTK · July 8th, 2008, 07:56 AM

if you watched some F1 news the couple of weeks before heading to the British GP, u'll know why the Stig was there.

I use to have the old one on cassette when i was a kid images/smilies/lol.gif

Hopefully I can find Kobe, Allan Iverson, and Tony Parkers rap CD's for $1.

Of course they all can't hold a candle to Jacques Villeneuve

$38.99?!?!?!

On a positive note, I found you a copy of "Shaq Diesel" for $0.59.
http://www.amazon.com/Shaq-Diesel-Sh...5501304&sr=1-1

How about "Shaq Fu: Da Return" for $0.23?
http://www.amazon.com/Shaq-Fu-Da-Ret...ref=pd_sim_m_1

I found Kobe's, but holy hell... $60?!?! That's too damn stupid to even make a joke about.

GTI WR6, you really need to cut down on the sugar. You said you felt depressed and happy in 11 minutes. And you could give the edit button a go. images/smilies/wink.gif

WirelessMonkey · July 8th, 2008, 04:59 PM

I was there too (amazing race btw)

Me and my brother said it had to be the stig, they had it as a prize on TopGear.com. They took the two seater Santander Car round, its like a A1GP car or something along those lines.

a quick shift of emotions. its possible sometimes. you're right, should've used the edit button, but then again, depressed -> being happy, I don't know what I was thinking. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif
