I think Ferrari sent him over for a hot lap in their new batmobile, they just wanted to make sure that nothing this millennium will knock it off the top spot and it looks as though nothing will.Originally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostJust a stunt, an article on the BBC website tells you.

Geza practically said it wasn’t the stig at the end anyway.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Ferrari wouldn't let the stig drive the car, so they sent schumacher.
That's why the stig made schumacher look rubbish in the reasonably priced car at the end. He was pi$$ed.Originally posted by cailin maithHang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar??

That was Schumacher's own FXX, given to him by Ferrari when he retired from F1.... I expect it was him that didn't want The Stig driving it not FerrariOriginally posted by FSM with Cheddar View PostFerrari wouldn't let the stig drive the car, so they sent schumacher.

That car is the only all-black Ferrari FXX and it was made as an extra to the already existing 29 FXX's for Michael Schumacher by Ferrari when hre retired from driving F1.
He drove it because it is his car.
But it should not count as it is not a legal road car.
It was a good season opener anyway."Condoms should come with a free pack of earplugs."Comment

Nah, the James May documentary on the Apollo moon landings, just afterwards, was better.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostIt was a stunt. A very good one though. Thoroughly enjoyable show. Best thing on TV all week.
Top Gear is puerile tosh. That's why I like it.Last edited by NotAllThere; 22 June 2009, 08:57.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
