Nah, don't be daft, that was Sandy.

He cudda been a contendah!

Wouldn't be very exciting for an ex world rally champion, rather boring I suspect.

But pretty exciting compared with his fellow-Finn, Ari Vartenen, who is now a Euro MP for somewhere in France. What would you prefer; nodding off while listening to some petty Eurocrat droning on about olive production in Portugal, or driving round a wet racing track in a flash motor?

Stig Blomqvist is actually a top bloke. Still competing at the top level in all sorts of vehicles. He’ll be out on Rally Sweden next month.

P.S - He's Swedish, not Finnish.

I think the Stig is Christine Hamilton. Anything for publicity.

FFS! That marshall must have converted to Celtism...

I was in the audience for Top Gear once (free martinis! who's a girl to refuse an invite like that hey?)

We were treated quite badly by that prat Jeremie Clarkson - do you know he's got a very bad sense of balance and kept falling on spectators every time he went close to them? They kept having to do retakes of this "live" show... hilarious. Anyway he is a prat

So I will be spoiling his fun and reveal who the Stig is - I didn't realise his identity was such a closely guarded secret!
He is called Stig Blomqvist and is a Swedish rally driver aged about 40-45 I reckon.

Oh Oh! Sorry young lady! I just seem to lose my balance and fall all over you

well I don't particularly like cars or know much about them but sometimes you get information on things you don't give a flying f**k about!
Like who The Stig is

Like he's got an exciting job... driving cars round a track.... mmmmh... good work mate

Well obviously people do give a "flying f*** about" as they're responding and conversing about the subject.... and, personally, if I had the opportunity to try racing ....of any variety, I would have a go at it.... career, even better. I think I speak for quite a few people there.... horses for courses!
