Does anyone else wish that the stig could have taken the batmobile for a lap around the track.........would have looked amazing.......and funny

 

[ExigeEvan]

I'm not crazy!

 

[Slick Rick]

There was definatley a 747 in the background. I think you can see it from teh camera at gambon, but only certain angles. And now you mention it perhaps it delivered the batmobile..I doubt it is road worthy.

You should of said/showed that earlier!! Now i remember, your right!
Thats a big plane and the top gear place thingy is small, it must of been hard to land.

I also heard(not on top gear) that on the Batman movie premier it got a parking ticket!!

[Slick Rick]

Ignore my last post.
ExigeExcel you are crazy! i cant see it!


A_JKOS I think the weismann looks very nice at any angle.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Son of a....

It was there because of

the show is being filmed at Dunsfold Airfield. The 747 was there as part of the Dunsfold Wings & Wheels festival. Review here:

Thanks to the good people of www.finalgear.forum.com

 

[Slick Rick]

Anyway how did you get those pics? did you take them from the TV?

 

[Famine]

The main strip is a 2 mile runway. A 747 requires only a mile and a half to land.

 

[Slick Rick]

Wow . You know everything.
How did you know how long the strip was? Did they mention it in an earlier episode?

 

[Roo]

I think they mentioned it when they tested the Koenigsegg, when JC went for a top speed run. It's probably available on the Internet somewhere too.

3. Same frame aswell, and you can perfectle see it

 

[Slick Rick]

Hey do you know how long that took me........<2mins. It was a quick joke.
Im guessing you have been trying to get your pictures perfect since you saw my post which was almost 3hrs from yours.

LOL i think your the crazy one trying to prove a pointless point!

 

[adam fraser]

AF

No I found them on the site noted previousley. After a quick google that is.

 

[Impreza04]

Well, that episode wasn't too bad.

Gotta love the JC talking to the stig lol.
"think that went in?" rofl.

Favorite line "Honey I shrunk the Espace"

 

[Jacks]

Yeah it wasn't too bad, i found it a funny when JC was taking the p*** out of american car manufacturers. "In this atlas they found wonderful places outside of america, one of these places was u-rop, in u-rop they found gurmany". LOL 👍

 

[G.T]

Jeremy's Ford GT went though a load problems on the first days he got it.

 

[Boris Lozac]

Hey guys, does any off you know who is the new white Stig, i know the old one was Perry mccarthy.. is this he, or someone else, because both listen same music in car so what is going on.. What happened to the black one.. ?
I am kinda late with Top gear because i watch it on BBC world, not BBC Two, so we are week or two late.. but gotta say.. THAT TOYOTA AYGO FOOTBALL GAME IS MOST CRAZY THING I EVER SEEN..

 

[911_Carrera]

Fair episode today. The Boxster v SLK55 was great but apart from that, nothing very exciting.

There's a new race next week though.

 

[ExigeEvan]

It was quite good.

Damon Hills eaction to being told he did crap was brilliant, but quickly ammended.

And my plane was back!!! I saw it in the background of the E-type and DB5 vid Earlier filming I'm guessing.

 

[Speedbird223]

The runs around the track are recent. The 747 only landed at Dunsfold on 25th May and has been seen in the Stig's runs for at least 2weeks. The aircraft itself is a 747-200 series previously owned by British Airways and a number of smaller outfits.

It will take place in a couple of events over the summer before being broken up.

Best Top Gear: Jeremy Clarkson around the Ring in S Type Diesel
Best line: 'Honey I Shrunk the Espace'

 

[kikie]

Don't know if this has been discussed. Did more than 1 search, couldn't find anything.

Who's Top Gears “The Stick”??

Who's Top Gears "The Stig" ?? What does the stig mean???

 

[G.T]

It's not "The Stick". It's The Stig. 👍

 

[kikie]

It's not "The Stick". It's The Stig. 👍

oops


Ok, me woll chinge thot

 

[TheCracker]

'The Stig' is rumored to be an ex-F1 driver - it used to be Perry McCarthy - maybe it still is?

As for 'The Stick' - i'm not sure, maybe its the guy from the Pepperami adverts?

 

[kikie]

I always thought it was Richard Hammond.

'The Stig' is rumored to be an ex-F1 driver - it used to be Perry McCarthy - maybe it still is?

So you are Perry McCarthy a.k.a The Stig. It says so in your profile under occupation

 

[MagpieRacer]

many think its Damon Hill, i could agree with them, specially as last series the stig drove a renault F1 car round the track in 58 seconds!

 

[TheCracker]

The Stig - probably taken from the book 'Stig of the Dump'

Stig is a caveman. He lives at the bottom of the old quarry close to Barney's grandparents' house. Since the quarry isn't used any more people throw all their old junk away down there. So it is rather an interesting place to build a den.
How does Barney find Stig? Well, he just falls over the edge of the quarry and tumbles down through the roof of Stig's den. When he looks round, there's Stig, with his shaggy black hair and bright black eyes.
Barney and Stig get on rather well together. They have to manage without language, of course, but that doesn't seem to stop them. Stig's den is a brilliant place built out of discarded rubbish
Stig is Barney's secret friend, not because Barney doesn't tell anyone, but because no-one really believes that Stig is real. They have a great time, improving Stig's den, collecting firewood, going hunting, and even catching some burglars who break into Barney's grandparents' house. It's really a collection of short-story adventures.

...although it could also have rallying connotations

 

[DQuaN]

The stig is Not Damon Hill, nor has he ever been. Damon hill was a guest on the show last week.

its certainly someone who has a poor taste in music..
