On The Stig, again

On The Stig, again

So, who is The Stig, then?

There's been loads of rumours, the Michael Schumacher red herring, not to mention the official denial from former Prime Minister John Major.

I am, then, pleased to announce that the mystery is solv-ed.

Take a look at this here picture posted to the internets by TV's Danny Wallace on his Twitter account.

"Ah ha!" I hear you say. The redoubtable Mr Wallace with what appears to be the Audi R8. And, if I am not mistaken, that's the Top Gear test track in darkest Surrey."

Yes. You are correct. But look again. Look at the CAR.

Obvious, isn't it?

The Stig is a Transformer.

Pie-eating racing driver by day, gas-guzzling executive toy by night.

Think about it - you never see The Stig and Optimus Prime in the same room together.

You read it here first.

And, to be honest, you ain't gonna read it anywhere else.

An Audi R8? Or an Audi anything? Our FFA used to drive one. IMHO it marks him as The Wanker.

Little deuce coup... for TEH SECOND!

You know you're up at silly o'clock when you and the Australians are awake at the same time and you live in Canadia.

What? The post? What post? Oh! Right.

Nice post, Mr. Duck. Who IS The Stig, then? Or rather, WHAT is The Stig?

OOoooh! *waves at Dawn. Good morning. Giving you the heads up, Tuesday will be grey and rainy with smoked salmon vol au vents and some French champagne.

I used to have an Audi. Eventually the German mechanic told me to get an American car that I could just drive. I got custody of it after the divorce. My ex is a car person and knew how to take care of it. I got Japanese cars after that.

Does anyone know how I can add a comment thingy since I need two of them if I bring back my trivia contest? I installed the Haloscan one like I used to have but it replaced the one on the new Blogger version. Then I uninstalled it. Any ideas?

Does he know his shirt is not tucked in?

Squeakypony said...

Standing like that I think Danny Wallace may be a "transformer" too.

Scaryduck said...

Debster: I believe that is something called "fashion"

snee said...

I think you may have something here...

"Some say he isn’t machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve"

Bertie said...

I was happily reading all the comments and got distracted by the phrase "smoked salmon vol au vents and champagne"....... I want some! (sulky face)

Invader Stu said...

but that leads to the next question; autobot or decepticon

Pseudonymph said...

Bertie - come to my French class! It starts at 6, Alliance Francaise. I'm on food today. Or, make your own, mix shredded smoked salmon, mayonnaise cream, cream cheese, finely chopped chives and red onion. Then buy a bottle of Pelorus sparkling wine ($40 for 750ml for anyone following yesterday's blog) and think of us all mangling the French language as our teacher tries hard not to cry.

Brennig said...

Oh thank fuck. For a moment I thought you were going to suggest that the Stigster is Danny Wallace. This is clearly. Stig is cooller than the Antarctic on a cool day. Danny Wallace is a complete and utter tosser.

Brennig said...

'wrong', the word 'wrong' fell off that comnent. Soz.

Debster said...

Fashion? Or not dressing properly after a visit to the little boys room?

Erin said...

I think he's trying to match the shoes with the shirt. And I like the fact that this is the only place I'll likely read about it - it's one of the reasons I visit. :)

I vote autobot with a side of smoked salmon vol au vents and some French champagne.

Audrey said...

Isn't that The Stig in yesterday's post?

Squeakypony said...

Yes Audrey, if you look very closely you can see his helmet.

Sewmouse said...

What is a stig?

Pogo said...

As evry fule kno, the Stig is Ben Collins.

Scaryduck said...

Pogo: That's what The Man wants you to think.

WrathofDawn said...

Vol au vents? What has wind got to do with it?

Oh, look! TEH DUCK!

Kevin 'In Salford' said...

Now "SOME SAY" that The Stig is actually
