Ben Collins aka The Stig
« on: June 21, 2011, 11:20:26 PM »
So, tomorrow between 12 and 1 pm the Stig will visit my company and tell about his career.  It's all about being a great place to work.  So I shall sacrifice my lunch hour and see him.  My most burning question is about "advanced driving".  Not on a race track, but on the common road.  Stay tuned for updates.

I swear he was the old stig??

If its the same guy they used on fifth gear (I think it is) Ask him why he used such cheesy lines in the opening scenes relating to the stig :puke:

Erm, should I really ask that in front of a big audience?  Perhaps I'll take my chances, but I don't even know what cheesy lines you refer to as I don't watch the Gears.  Haven't watched them in years. Because I don't give s sh|it about what the Gears on TV are up to and I want Jeremy Clarkson's job. Haven't watched it since Steve Perry left Top Gear.

The guy is cool.  Good looking, interesting and he can drive.  He made me laugh a lot telling about his time at Top Gear.  And his time stunt driving National Treasure 2 and some James Bond movie with Daniel Craig.  The best car he has ever driven is a Ferrari 458.  An Italian car!  I did not get to ask any questions as he was mobbed after his presentation and I couldn't be asked to queue.   :thumb:
