Note to Rick: you've spent £10,000 on a number plate which reads 571G. Can I point out to you that Stig looks like this: STIG.

Some say that he sucks the moisture from ducks and that his crash helmet is modelled on Britney Spears's head. All we know is, he's called THE517G. I don't think so.

You stupid P31CK.

Or more to the point what is more useful: A messed up number plate or a mid-engined Italian Sportscar?

I guess he must have been outbid on DIN684T!!! What a 7074L C0CK.

Why the fuck didn't he just save himself £10675 and get the T-shirt? We need to find their phone number so we can spend the whole of next week ringing up and asking to speak to the Stig. The novelty of the plate would wear off pretty fast if we did that!!!

Quite possibly one of the biggest wastes of money in history. This is worse than using a $100 bill to light a cigar. Hopefully Clarkson gets wind of this and makes fun of this guy on air, afterall we know his views on personal plates.
