Hi Guys
I dropped into Queensland Raceway this arvo for the Black Trucks drive day and saw a bloke in an all white Race suit wearing a bland helmet. When i saw him he was just getting out of the Vodafone Track car and went over and chatted to Lowndes in the pits with his helmet on. Nothing on his race suit or his helmet. I asked a few Vodafone people who it was and was told that nobody knew. Is there going to be a Stig in the Aussie Top Gear?

He was in white? Sounds like you know who.
Edit: and yes, apparently there is an Aussie stig. |

Some say that his skin has the texture of a dolphin’s, and where ever you are in the world if you tune your radios to 88.4, you can actually hear his thoughts.

I have been speaking to some guys and apparently there was 3 race drivers there yesterday. Craig Lowndes, Jamie Whincup and James Moffat. The only one I actually saw was Craig. Has anyone heard who the stig was, I have my suspicions but I unable to confirm anything.

your not supposed to know who the stig is, all your supposed to know is he was spawned from the firey debris of a le mans crashes from over the last 15 years. Some say he even has the CPU from the Mercede's CLK-GTR that flipped as a brain!

Stop referring to the Stig as HE.
Some say that it's first name is actually The

Maybe Topgear Australia is doing a piece on V8 Supercars. The Stig might have been testing it out for the test track.

Well, if he had hydraulic knees it would've been a dead give away.
Did you by chance catch him eating eggs sunny side up? Or any weird behaviour like smelling corners?

Well since the british Stig is presumably always a different driver it will probably be different drivers for Aus too

If he crashes a lot and starts blaming the cars / track / ghosts, its probably skaife.

I doubt that Triple 8 would let Mark Skaife any where near one of their cars would they.

Everyone thinks it's someone cool as the Stig, but I reckon it would be someone gay like Niel Bates..

The Aussie Stig better have an Aussie quality to him to differentiate him from the real (:P) Stig.
