I heard that it was either Perry McCartney or David Brabham, but open to correction

I believe it is Perry Mcarthy too. He was named as the elusive Stig in a couple of national newspaper articles after trashing a couple of cars on the programme.

You know the kind of thing 'BBC Top Gear.......Outrageous behaviour.........this is not what we pay our licence fee for..........etc etc'

In my opinion the best TV car magazine programme ever  :)

It could well be Damon Hill as he lives in Hambledon....which is about 5 miles as the crow flies to Dunsfold Airfield.

And he also fronts a company in Guildford which leases exotic cars.

So what do you mean by "Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board." then Smokes?

How about changing it to "Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board as long as it doesn't bore the pants off the moderator."

Or even...

"Feel free to rip into the Moderator in this board... he just can't get enough of it!"

 ;D ;D ;D

Sorry it isn't that funny. But then again, nor is anything else I write.
