Rep Power: 13   |  www.supercars.net? I love that site, It's simple and informative and have been using it before TopGear as we know it even existed....however, a few days ago it had a pic of the Stig in front of the CCX and its title was 'CCX on top' or something along the lines of that. This was just after the CCX got the fastest lap on the TG track. My question is, whats the relation between TG and supercars.net? (if anyone knows that is).

Rep Power: 13 | The nature of the pic...why would they have a pic of the Stig in front of a CCX titled 'CCX on top' the very same week the Koenigsegg topped the TG powerboard?

Rep Power: 13 | Fair enough...but they had already done a story on the CCX. So It's complete coincidence that the very same week it topped the board, supercars.net put their Photo Of The Day as the Stig in front of the CCX with the title 'CCX on top'?? Unlikely I think.

Rep Power: 13 | Maybe I'm just being my overanalytical self...but it would be a big ass coincidence.

 It's really not that big of a deal. Although your analytical thinking would probably be better suited in one of the "ZOMFG I KNOW WHO TEH STIG I$" threads.

Rep Power: 0 | i'm guessing one of the webmasters of supercars.net watches Top Gear and thought it'd be cool to put that pic up considering how Koenigsegg topped the list that week...
