deathmonkey Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 What a revelation to wake up to . Can it be? Does his deal on Fifth Gear allow him to do that? I could imagine it being him mind. I've always been told that it was numerous different professional drivers, none particularly well known. Or Michael Schumacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnanshah247 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 apparantely fifth gear has been down the pan for a long time. Tiff was originally a top gear presenter and he is the one literally responsible for Top Gear returning to our screens after such a long time it was off air.

Al Massey Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 There isnt just one Stig, there are several. Ive met 2 when Top Gear did the Rabge rover vs Challenger 2 Tank on Salisbury plain. They spent a couple of days on my camp and was told that there is upto 5, each with a speciality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Tiff is a legend... but why would he appear anonymously on a rival show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Oh dear, here we go....!!! What?! Taken from Wiki, so I hope you are wrong. Perry McCarthy(Black Stig), Russ Swift and an unnamed former Stig have claimed that there is more than one driver who plays the role of the Stig. James May claims that there is a clause in the Stig's contract that should his identity be exposed, either through his own willingness or via a member of the Top Gear staff (including the hosts of Top Gear), he has to be fired. Black Stig was let go via this clause; the same clause would apply also to White Stig under the same circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Tiff is a legend... but why would he appear anonymously on a rival show? you just answered your own question, obviously he cant work on both shows, so has to be on the 'd-low' on the one of em!

tooquicktostop Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Black stig was fired for outing himself in this book, he was an F1 driver, all be it for a very short time, he did a lot of testing though His book is a good read, Perry McCarthy http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flat-Out-Broke-Formula-re-issue/dp/1844250180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right... I doubt they have gnarly contacts forbidding them to work on both shows or whatever.. they're only car programmes!?

Frank Bullitt Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 There isnt just one Stig, there are several. "Black Stig" Perry McCarthy "White Stig" "Big Stig" the Stig's American cousin "Rig Stig" the Stig's lorry driving cousin "Janet Stig Porter" the Stig's vegetarian Cousin Also the Stig's Communist cousin shown riding a motorbike wearing a red jumpsuit.

AndrewOW Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 And, of course, Stig of the Dump, but they don't like to talk about him too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 So which Stig received his 'cock' award on the show last night?Probably someone who has never driven a timed lap around the TG track. If there is no driving involved, as in a (supposed) trip on public transport or accepting an award, it can be anyone. Tiff is a legend... but why would he appear anonymously on a rival show?For the same reason Tom Ford works for Top Gear Magazine? There isn't just one Stig, there are several.Ben Collins was named as a "consultant" to Top Gear in the Health & Safety report on Hammond's jet car crash.

Lbm Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 So which Stig received his 'cock' award on the show last night? Sean. Sean wasn't available. I think Ronnie Corbett got the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
