The Stig unmasked!
If the Stig is a girlie then she has a very flat chest and no hips and a very masculine gate about her!!!.......The Stig was "unmasked" and named and shamed in a motoring magazine article a few years ago and its not Damon Hill either! Ex champion rally driver was his former occupation.The article concerned the Top Gear crew and the Stig being critcised for causing tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage to a classic 1950s Jaguar that was loaned to the programme by a private collector. The Stig in his usual manner put the car through its paces and added a few wheel spins and sliding turns for good measure, in the process he wrecked the driveshafts, tyres, brakes and gearbox, no visible damage you understand but the BBC ended up footing the hefty bill for considerable mechanical damage inflicted on the poor old Jag!.....

That was Stig Mk I - he only lasted two seasons. Today's Stig is somebody else.

As for chest and hips... some women are quite masculine in shape, and that is no criticism of them.

I was, however, joking when suggesting Stig is a girlie.

Apart from the fact that James May probably stood next to the cameraman watching whilst they were doing it, there was just no follow through! There were no consequences for putting meat in his car, it just got forgotten about! You can't play a practical joke on someone if there's no punch line to it!

You ought to have continued watching... They ended up putting the head in 'James May's' tent... only for a wild animal to come into the camp, and Richard Hammond to suddenly realise it was his own tent... that's a punchline.

Of course there is a load of fakery going on... I think everybody realises that

I knew someone would come up with the goods. Thanks,Bats. Can you imagine those three presenting a female Top Gear - the studio will be just full of men.

You mean even more full of men than it is already!.... I think the four or five ladies that are in the Top Gear audience get pushed to the front to make it look like a mixed bunch! Anyway, if those three loveley ladies were to present a motoring show I would be happy to join the queue to be in the audience, I might even let one of them drive me home afterwards if they asked me niceley I think its very endearing to watch petite attractive girls thrashing a supercar around and showing us macho blokes a thing or two (driving skills I mean).....

I'm not interested in anything other than 'Top Gear' hosted by Clarkson, Hammond and May... Sorry, I'm not in it for sexual reasons but because of the humour.

And did you like what you saw?

Try reading his books, thats why they are best sellers. That's why Top Gear is a best seller around the world, even here in Asia. Clarkson is brill. Hammond and May may seem to hang on his every word, but?

Its equal all the way around and they do get their own back. A brilliant show and so entertaining.

You should see what they try to put on here. It's like Ivor The Engine.

Sorry guys but the best of the three is Suzy Perry, but can't you do better?

Clare Balding? Sue "Woof" oops! sorry Barker.

Go to the Football special page to see asia's finest female presenters.

Hope this is not a battle of the finest, sexiest or most delectable presenters?

Bats, you started it......

All I did was show a picture.
