Probably as true as the rest of the stories :-)
For the unitiated, who are "the Stig" and "Clarkson?"

Jeremy Clarkson is the most intelligent and knowledgeable motoring journalist that has ever lived who's quick witted humour has made him worshipped worldwide. -- In his opinion ! Stig was the anonymous racing driver that tested cars on the Top Gear programme Clarkson dictates.

I believe he is banned from the Bristol Car show room after writing an article on the Blenheim without actually driving one !

He is very blunt and makes me grunt, he comes across as a total c


connoisseur !

Hope this helps Lou :-)

Ta. That certainly fleshes out the cast. Most obliged.

Top Gear, while I've become aware of its existence since getting my 603, doesn't have much of a profile here, either in print or on the telly. At least not sufficient to have pulled me in as a consumer of either.

Like a lot of motoring pundits he is very self opinionated.
Problem is he knows very little about cars except how to waste an awful lot of rubber on an airfield.

He is though a legend,

In his own bathroom!
