    Michael Schumacher is not the Stig. There is plenty of evidence to refute it. Top Gear just made a successful attempt to confuse you even more.

    Stig's driving lines are completely different from any of the F1 drivers that have done power laps. Every F1 driver that watched the Stig's lines say he is "no F1 driver". Even if I didn't know anything else (which I do), that is evidence enough.

    @Nick Allain: Do you have bad teeth, drink a lot of tea, eat a lot of FishnChips, like Mary Poppins, live in a place where it rains on and off pretty much every day, where the accent changes every 100 miles, where people don't tip, where service in bars/pubs/restaurants is slow, where shit in general is too expensive, where the roads are too narrow, where the girls in general seem to have much bigger boobs than US chicks?? If so. Yes, you might be in England-land.

    @FTGDMissesTheCruise:
    1) My teeth could be better
    2) I love tea.
    3) Not a fan of fish and chips
    4) I met Mary Poppins in disney, she's wasn't too bad looking for a nanny.
    5) The accents in new england change every 5 miles, nevermind 100.
    6) People suck at tipping where I'm from.
    7) I spent 3 hours in a restaurant in saturday. 1 waiting to be seated, 1 waiting for an appetizer, and 1 waiting for my entre.
    8) I paid $10 for a caesar salad where the salad was warmer than the chicken in it and the dressing wasn't really caesar.
    9) I just returned from York, Maine where the roads are too narrow and have speed limits of 20. I even got yelled at for doing 10mph in a 5mph zone.

    So I guess NEW ENGLAND isn't that far off.

So, I made smart ass remark: "I can wait for tomorrow night." Then you say: "I can't", which I questioned as being 'naughty'....like you wanted the world to know about tomorrow night. I said I wouldn't tell.

    So should Ben Collins be angry that he won't receive the honors he deserves, or is he taking the compliment that his talent could pass for Schumie's?


    What in TopGear's history makes anyone think they would use a German driver for their test track?


    Schumie can't travel without people recognizing him, How would he make it onto an old airport in England without anyone going, 'Hey that's Michael Schumacher'...
