Who is Aussie STIG ??

Their is only one tosser that slouches in a seat when he drives a car like that and would be the only looser that would think he was special to play the stig because he cant do anything original himself accept for whining and that would be Skaife. If they wanted someone with the right attitude to play to roll it would have been Ingle
 
or should I say are.... Rick AND Neal Bates...

I have it on very good authority that they use both Rick and Neal.

It's strange....if I knew who British Stig was, I would not tell. Australian Top Gear is crap....so I don't care

I will back you up on this. That is what I heard from a good friend of them. I think more Rick than Neal.
 
For all that says stig's driving style is no good, it is in fact the exact opposite. it is super clean which makes it look not so good. the theory with rick and neal bates could be a goer, since the first UK stig was a well known rally driver. but who knows?? but neal i would think is too busy with TRD and the ARC and his own business.
 
considering he has his thumbs INSIDE the wheel, he is NOT a rally driver!

As much as I really, really hate to feed a thread like this...

Now I'm not suggesting Neil Bates is Stig - I just googled to test the thumbs theory...

After watching some vids on youtube, it seems Loeb, Gronholm & Makinen all have / had their thumbs inside the wheel, so I guess that means the rally driver option is still open for our Stiggie.

well, that blows my theory out of the water....

then again, it could be batsey, he is a shortarse as well
 
I heard well before TGA started that it would become clear to me who the Stig was once I saw him... This was from a very senior Rally official (after coming back from a trip to rally of canberra this year)

My thoughts after seeing this are that it's Rick Bates. He's less occupied than Neal - and as good a driver... Fits the build too.
