Ryan. Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Lewis Hamilton will be in the reasonably price car in the next episode apparently, will be interesting to see if he can beat Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Jenson Button and Mark Webber and even the stig who have all done laps in the Suzuki Liana cue BOF to find some way to critisise him... clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villab0y Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yeh Clarkson mentioned this on the TV awards a few weeks back. Should be a good show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Quite cool how Top Gear came to my home town this week. It inspired me to look at Mira from the air, instead of my usual view of the place which is just driving past it and seeing a drab looking office block. It looks quite mad from the sky, doesnt it?

drat01 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 First time ive ever heard James Blunt speak. He is really really shit, isnt he?Not really TBH I thought he was happy to take the piss out of himself and was sharp enough to put Clarkson down a couple of times I may even buy him a Christmas card this year :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 He does seem quick witted, but just has a voice that makes me want to punch him. While i accept that this is not his fault, it doesnt stop me wanting to punch him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 2, 2007 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2007 james blunt is exactly what his name has come to be slang for. Was quite disappointed it was wet for Lewis' lap today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Dunno. I think the fact that he came within 0.3 seconds of the stig and 0.1 seconds of Mansell despite it being wet was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted December 3, 2007 Moderator Share Posted December 3, 2007 The Stig is not one man (that's the beauty of the anonymous suit). I don't know who the 'regular' Stig is but I do know that sometimes, for certain things, other people have been the Stig (for example I believe when they tested the Maserati MC12, the Stig for that lap was actually the car's owner) and it's quite common knowledge that when Renault F1 set the 59 second lap around the track, the Stig for that lap was the then-test driver Heikki Kovalainen.

BOF Posted December 3, 2007 Moderator Share Posted December 3, 2007 cue BOF to find some way to critisise him... Sorry to disappoint. Lewis was frankly awesome in the Liana. And the banter with Clarkson was great - considering Clarkson is a master at it and Lewis is only 22. The kid's 'got it'. It's clear to anyone barring the most ardent Alonso fans that he's the real deal. What he did on a wet oily track to nearly beat them all was incredible. The producer of the show said Lewis has his own laws of physics if the 2nd to last corner was anything to go by. And I said it as I was watching, if he can clean up his paddock attitude then he'll have it all (but that wouldn't be fair on the rest of them ) See? I'm objective - sometimes too objective for people's liking ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yeah Bri is right the Stig has changed many times, i think once or twice it was indeed the Hill, but nothing regular; it changes. A shame their are rumours that one of them is leaving, wouldn't work with just 2 or another presenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What rumours, and which one? I can only assume it would be James May as Clarkson's a non-starter and the Hamster clearly wants to BE Clarkson. I think it needs all 3 in order to work tbh.
