Hey guys,

I just finished watching top gear oz again tonight, and it made me start thinking who was the aussie stig?

some rumours i have read, say that he isnt very tall from the footage, and some have said he seemed a little over weight in the first few episodes, also that it might have been a fill in for the first few till they found somebody to do it fulltime.

anyway some have said russell ingall?

also read rick bates maybe?

I have no idea but if anybody has some evidence or has seen any, post up links etc in here. eventually somebody will have to find out who it is!

Cheers

Daz

i think the show is actually getting better, cant wait to see the gtr next week.. it better be a good story or thats the end of me trying to watch it.

i think it might be rusty.. the way the "stig" if you can call him that, his driving position reminds me of rusty.. i dont know of anyone else that sits like that.. long shot but its my 2c anyway..

as for skaife... well... some say he likes to cry alot.

yea the show is sort of gradually getting better, but some of the stuff there doing isnt even laugh worthy. but they are getting alittle better over all, but will never be the UK guys. but i think they are slowly finding there feet and making there own way.

I was thinking ingall aswell. he's not too tall, and isnt exactly skinny like some other racers. but yeah, somebody out there has to have some solid evidence. lol

my mate works for defecne and he said that once of the guys on the defence forums, saw john bowe walking around a race circut in a full white suit. he then proceeded to thrash a crapload of different cars, and then did an interview without taking his helmet off.

he told me this before the show had aired...and suprise he then proceeded to thrash a bunch of cars.

but eh...

who cares...from what ive read the uk one is a bunch off diff people not jsut the one.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
