    I actually had a new idea this past weekend.

    I recall that several teams at the Challenges bring in a ringer to autocross their cars. Since most folks here think so highly of the Stig, and since he may have a lot of time on his hands now that he has been "outed", GRM should invite him to attend the Challenge and drive each persons car in the autocross. it would be a nice common denominator. Of course would would also have to let one of the team members drive also.
    Talk amongst yourselves.

    Per's gonna have to make sure a baby seat fits in each and every challenge car? Don't you think the guy works hard enough already?

    Stig was already at the '08 Challenge but Per wouldn't let him drive anything except his stroller.

    I am the Stig...don't worry, I will be there.

    There are those that say I will win the challenge, and that I can tell the difference between premium and regular simply by taste

    Honestly, I'm pretty sure that if our expert drivers can't make your car go fast, no one can. Autocross is a very specific talent and between Alan, Steve, Ian, etal., all the time that can be gotten out of the car is gotten. I haven't counted the national championships that the expert drivers have between them, but I'd bet it's well into the two digits.

    But yes, my Stig will probably be there.

    Is that really necessary?

    Well then I guess it wasn't such a good idea after all. And I was so excited about it.

    and that he can only fall asleep after being shown a checkered flag

    Some say that his tears are adhesive, and that if he caught fire he'd burn for a thousand days...

    Some say that the outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Nürburgring, and that if you give him a really important job to do, he'll skive off and play croquet...

    Almost worth it to buy a full outfit in white and show up as the Stig

    yes, almighty grumpy one. Did you not acquire a sense of humor whilst developing as a child? I'm starting to think you have a dislike towards me.

    Jk, i love you

    No hard feelings, just trying to keep things on a more mature level.

    Why wouldn't some clever Challenger buy a white driving suit, a white Simpson helmet with a very dark smokey shield; just stand around looking good, don't open your mouth?

    Viola', I give you The Stig.

    Some say his blood type is "E30" and that in very cold weather, he'll say "berkley" instead of "berkeley"
