Then this morning we met a couple at the pool who told us they had seen a guy walking through the foyer of the hotel last night in full race suit and helmet. images/smilies/eek.gif images/smilies/eek.gif

We have now exchanged phone numbers and agreed that if we see the Stig again we will immediately contact each other and overpower him so we can remove his helmet and get a photo images/smilies/lol.gif

if this turns out to be true, I may forgive them for only making 6 episodes (allegedly)

2 Veyrons and 1 Koeniggsegg in one episode equals so much win as a whole season of TG

I can't help but doubt the legitimacy of that guy. I mean, if I saw something as awesome as this, I'd have taken photos and would've posted them. But that said, I so hope it's true!

Sounds like a true account to me. If he was going to make it up, I would think it would be better than that.

Until I got my camera phone I often saw things I had no "proof of" such as an alligator attacking a police car on Interstate 20 close to Monroe, La. But it happened. Took almost the whole right front fender off.

I think JC has a mate out there, who is very very very rich (no I mean it) - from the speed boat programme a while back. I seem to recall a genuine dude who may at a pinch lend his cars out.
