Very entertaining episode.

Its been a long wait.

 

The 458 is growing on me. Each time I see it in the real world instead of still photographs it looks better and better. (That is when its not on fire!)

 

Certainly sounds like an amazing piece of kit; quick shocking looking for a ferrari though, makes the 430 look like a stunner in comparison.

 

must admit that the 911 looks quite boring in comparison to anything sporty these days.

I liked the way they got Tiffany Dell to coach the 'star in a reasonably priced car' instead of Stig. Especially as he's working with Ben Collins on 5th Gear. :)

I wonder how long they'll keep up the 'we hate the Stig' malarky though.

 

I think Tiff Nedell would be the perfect replacement Stig :)

Why so much hatred for the Stig then?

Because he stitched them up by "revealing" the secret to make a small amount of cash prior to christmas, whereas if he'd have kept quiet, and honoured his contract, he'd have been much better off. The Stig was the brand image for TG, and he ruined all that for his own little slice of pie.

A classic case of a goose that laid golden eggs kind of scenario, IMO.

 

I hope he's happy now. ;)

Who is it then? I thought it was Ben Collins? We knew that about a year ago though didn't we?

It's only been officially admitted in the last 2-3 months.

 

I didn't know it was Ben Collins until then. I thought it was several different people, most of whom I expected not to have heard of (I'd never heard of Ben Collins until this row blew up), but listening to a recent Clarkson interview he insisted the Stig was just a single person in any one era.
