Saw on the News since he took the Stig mask off to write the book about his career that the BBC sacked and 5th gear proptly offered him a job.

just because he can drive, does it mean he is any good as a presenter?

We knew he had unveiled himself a while ago, but seems he was only sacked this week.

......He`s a bloke and he can drive a car; but do we have to endure his attempt to become a 'personality' too.  :P

Has anybody noticed the way Tiffany drives? It's as if he's doing zig-zags through all the corners, I know he likes to kick the back out and drift to show off but he drives like that all the time

so 5th gear are going to have seven presenters pratts on the screen?

The last thing 5th gear need is another presenter, they need to spend what little money they have on make a decent review for once.

I think its a great shame that ben collins admitted he was the stig as it has spoilt the whole idea of it ! after all it was a fun concept and made the show more entertaining if that was possible  :D :D :o :y

Bingo! ;D

Can't drive without pi$$ing about and showing off. Can't present without being full of himself and says nothing of any interest whatsoever.

Hmm so thy're going to want a new Stig for the next series and there's a likely candidate that's just been made redundant.
Any guesses who the next Stig will be?
Oh and he can drive trains too. ;D ;D
