Saw something interesting for you "who's the Stig?" guys and girls.

Dutch tv airs some kind of lame car programme called Wheels on 7 in which the Dutch WTCC racing driver Tom Coronel said he was asked by the BBC to stand in for the Stig once because the Stig's wife was giving birth at the time.

Two hours before he was supposed to take the flight to Dunsfold the real Stig showed up because the baby was delivered and the Stig said he really wanted to do the job.

He also showed the contract briefly and the Stig suit, just in case...
Another interesting thing he confirmed, there are three Stiggies :)

He knows who they are but didn't mentioned any names to keep the myth alive obviously.
 
why would they ask a dutchman ? when the BBC is in England

Don't know, he didn't look like he was kidding and the contract looked convincing.
Maybe they'll put todays show on the website so you can see and judge for yourselves.
 
We in general, and TG in particular like the Dutch a lot?

Grammar Nazi strikes - England (with a capital E please, and BBC is all capitals too).
 
but why go to the bother of getting someone from dutchland when there are people in uk

Too late.....
 
Imagine Stiggy's wife giving birth to a child in a white helmet... she must have split in half.

The birth of a stig is without a helmet. You know those Liquoirs with big fruits (like apples or pears) in the bottle? It's the same thing: Give birth to a stig, put his head in a helmet and let the head grow until it is too big to come off the helmet _ever_ again :)

soon will be, suppried the big black (and crap) stig is not dead yet
 
maybe the stig is a helmet which a body grows from
 
LOL i agree :p:lol:

Looks like Quiky's taken good care of him though XD

Good to see. Looking forward to seeing the video to go with the OP. Hopefully with subtitles!!!
 
Coronel is a commercial #beep!#
He's a good driver but this story is even worse then the short story about the Strick ( German dude ) guy being (a) stig...

:blink:

So there are three Stigs but they went looking for a fourth because one of them was unavailable?<_<
 
If white Stig dies and is replaced with orange Stig, we'll all know who it is!
