    Very good show

    For anyone in Adelaide... I'm slowly downloading all the series onto DVD.. so for the cost of a DVD i can fling anyone a copy at the next cruise (approx 1 series per dvd).

    No worries, just let us know. Even if you just bring a blank dvd to swap or something that's cool... Should have series 4-5-6-7 and current eps of 8 by the end of this week..

    i wouldn't mind one of those ProDrive P2's from this weeks episode.
    It's not the fastest car, nor does it look the best but on the street it'd be unreal as a daily driver

    Dave I'm sure I can work out something..

    For those in SA please pm me closer to the next cruise (if you are going to attend) and I'll burn up enough copies, anyone else keen I'll have a look at what I can do and pm you individually.

    This is a new stig they have now, the old one used to wear black. I reckon its either an F1 driver or test driver, or a BTCC driver, They drop subtle hints like this week they commented that "the prodrive P2 will make any driver look like schumacher but in the stigs case that would make him look worse."

    Interesting, I would say he would be a brittish driver too.



    Edit: Just found the following info=

    On the 18 March 2006 the former Stig, Perry McCarthy, revealed that currently there is no one single test driver, but multiple test drivers who masquerade as the Stig when he appeared at a Palmer Sport activity day in Bedfordshire.

    yeah i always thought that, i always figured it'd have to be multiple people.

    Think of it this way...A company makes a million dollar supercar and lets topgear play with it, they aren't goign to risk them launching it into a set of tires or a wall etc.
    I think the driver is normally a rep from the car company
