Turbo6FG Silver Donating Members 497 Member For: 15y 29d Gender: Male Posted 01/10/10 01:01 AM Share Posted 01/10/10 01:01 AM Good, he was the interesting bit anyway at least he can drive. Most of the time when the Top Gear guys were doing a review & then the camera suddenly shows the car going into an awesome drift it was the Stig doing the driving & making it look like the other guys were.Clarkson just praised up all his poxy British cars all the time. His car reviews were about as serious as the Chasers journalism & heaps of small minded people beleived them.Bit of a tosser the way he suddenly throws a fit just cos the Stig revealed his identity. He just wanted all the fame for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 7m 10d Posted 01/10/10 03:05 AM Share Posted 01/10/10 03:05 AM sure the bloke can drive but does he have a personality and will it work on TV. I'm pretty sure the BBC will sue him big time if he mentions 'the stig' at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see both sides but if you sign up for something, tough sh*t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo6FG Silver Donating Members 497 Member For: 15y 29d Gender: Male Posted 01/10/10 04:26 AM Share Posted 01/10/10 04:26 AM It's dog eat dog in this world. I guess he became more famous than he realised & decided he should use the opportunity to earn a few more $$. It's not like people are suddenly going to stop watching Top Gear because they know who the Stig is (unless they are the kind of people who dreamt he was actually their mate Muzza who lives next door or the old lady they meet at the grocery shop & they are suddenly disappointed)If this part of the article is true then the show will be good. ...the show would involve more elaborate and dangerous stunts."I'm going to be concentrating on television and I've got some exciting projects coming up," Collins told UK media."Presenting is what I'd like to get into. There were many ideas that I've had on Top Gear that they thought were too crazy and hopefully now I can get away with as a free agent." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
