How do you know he only made a small amount of money, just out of curiosity? You make it sound like he was short on cash for Xmas lol.

 

Because he wrote a book. If he hadn't said anything I doubt it would have sold that well as no one really knows him but if it's got stuff in it about him being the Stig then he would sell more copies.

 

So he probably did it so the book would sell more thus making him more money.

 

Well I think that's right :p

Nice Ferrari. :eyebrows:

 

Jason Plato on Fifth Gear said it's the best car he's driven.

 

I didn't like the look of the Porsche at all, the SLS is okay but to me looks small and hasn't got road presence that you would expect for that sort of money.

 

small ? lol you obvsioly have not seen this in real life they are massive, they are insanely wide.

 

But have to say the Ferrari was the best by far :D

Its a small scale seller, in the whole world of publishing. Its not going to run and run for all his life and provide him with a steady income.

OTOH, I don't know how much life was left in the Stig Character, but it wasn't waning in the TV shows, he was always there in comedic sections and of course the testing. A few more series? Who knows, but it seemed a far steadier income and longer life than just knocking an auto-biog out for a minority market just before Xmas.

Just watching this, kinda pissed alittle as they have belittled the whole issue of iraq into a joke about IEDS and other pointless stuff.

 

Well it was just a light hearted joke. I think the main point is they didn't drag this into another war debate... I like the fact that they mentioned how beautiful Iraq can be.

it was before we joined in to invade it...

 

 

thought the program was quite dull and boring compared to the American trip.

These 2 weren't supposed to be proper episodes, well maybe the US one was, but the Middle East was a special, it wasn't meant to be a motoring review show it was a Christmas specialy made program based on Top Gear - the same as every other program makes Christmas specials - get over it.
