Title: THE 57IG
Post by: zirk on 29 November 2009, 13:17:55
Followed it this morning on the M25, a Silver Noble (THE 57IG Reg), sure it wasn't Ben, but someones paid some money to stand out in the crowd.  :)

Not as sad as our resident street busy-bodies (we call them 'The Buckets') who have the following plates.....

Him = W house number DAD
Her = W house number MOM

And then there's the daughter (Sam AKA super-bitch) whose plate reads.... you guessed it! W house number SAM!

Nearest thing to a personal plate I had was on a VX coupe, it was MBR1P. Trouble was my initials aren't MB and I wasn't dead, still aren't as far as I can tell :D ;) ;D ;D

No, Ben Collins is the Stig, well the main one, there’s about 7 of them for Outside Broadcast, and a couple of them are female drivers, probably saying too much here. :-X,

Watch the episode with the parachutist trying to land in the moving car, it was originally filmed as the Stig as the driver of the car, but they had to re film it as stiggy couldn't see the parachutist with he’s helmet on, so it was released as Ben Collins as the driver.  :-X
