The Stig!


Saw the stig today, by chance (I went up to Douglas head to eat a Mcdonalds) They were filming on the marine drive for Top Gear magazine, and were using douglas head to store all the flash cars.

Here are a few of the pics I took. The last one is stig without his helmet on (in the passenger seat) He was understandably weary about taking it off... he was feeding food under the gap to his mouth.. Only took it off when they sped away, but they got caugt in trafic giving me the chance to take that pic

Yes. Full-pixels crop below. Plus some more camaro pics.


edit: ps. is it ok for me to use uploaderx for these? My image uploader has buggered my paid-for pro account.

edit2: 'camaro' 'camparo' 'caparo' which is it? I'm confused. I don't know a great deal about cars.

I'd be interested in people's critique of #4. I quite like it myself.

I think the rest are rather over-exposed. It was a bright day, especially hard by looking at the viewfinder (in bright conditions) to tell whether they were exposed right or not. I have no photog-training.

Jesus, who cares about the cars - this is our chance to work out who the fuck the stig is!!

edit: sorry dude, didn't mean to sound like an asshole. Some of the pics are actually pretty good. I like #4 in your original post. Not usually a fan of artsy-type shots like that, but for some reason I like yours.

But seriously, I'd love it if you posted the pics of the stig in the Auto forum. I reckon the guys in there would get a kick out of it.

I have never been in the auto forum.

Well there was no security. They just let people mill around. Douglas Head is quite a popular thoroufare. Everyone with a camera-phone was taking pics also.

It's only the Magazine, not the show. I'd imagine if Clarkson, Hammond, and May were there security would have.... existed.
