Is it only on BBC? I don't get that man, I live in merka remember?
And it's racing involved so there's even less chance of getting it hereLOL

Well I'm sure I can find it somewhere but I dont really watch much TV so this show would have to be really good for me to bother.

Havn't seen the show at all, just know what it is, but isn't the secrecy like..part of the fun?
I thought the whole "secret driver" thing was the purpose of it?

The previous one betrayed Jesus Christ for 30 silver coins....... So there is a new one, born in Bethlehem and grew up from a small newborn child to a 6 feet long racing driver in a matter of 2 weeks. 

Nobody knows his/her identity although Sebastian Vettel revealed he spoke with an English accent. The mystery remains. Let's hope it stays like that.

yeah I like that it is a mysteri, and it is also nice to know the reason behind it as well.

yeah Top Gear is a stroke of genius, one of the best programs I watch... even if I can't drive a car, it is cool

  Have you ever heard about a US rhythmic orchestra called Kiss ? They were big in the 1970s due to being masked up. Their music were ******* bad. I got a couple of their albums from that time and they are solid 1 stars albums. Well, BBC has copied their formula from when they were really big and is pulling the same trick with The Stig. They are masking his ID and that makes this rather good programme a lot better and adds a touch of mystery. You know, a talking point. People does not talk about the road tests of BMWs. They talka about The Stig. 

Most people are curious cats, let's face it. BBC/Jeremy Clarkson are clever kids and plays on this human trait, face that truth too.

well the BBC goes at length to keep the test driber in Top Gear as secret as possible, THAT is what im talking about. It is just something that is very facinating to me.

I just wonder what sort of secrets BBC are shielding when they are keeping the Stig such a top secret profile,, like knowing who he is are like revealing top nationald secrets,

kist wonder what jurdicial claims the Stig have to makes his persona sucha big top seacret. not even NASA are that secret Tongue, but the Stig is well the Stig.


so my question is why is the persone behind the Stig mask such a huge mysteri and that it should be hidden at all cost,

huh
