Hi all,

Oh my...

Stig 'spotted' on Google site

by The Sun


TOP Gear's most mysterious character The Stig appears to have been caught on camera by Google Street View.





A figure looking like the professional driver from the cult show can be seen through a window of the BBC buildings in London.

The mysterious figure is clad in Stig's trademark white overalls and racing helmet

This hilarious picture shows the anonymous character standing with arms folded across a desk from what looks like a female BBC colleague.

The Stig's true identity has never been revealed on the long-running BBC show in which he features mainly as a test driver of various cars.

Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher has been rumoured to be the face behind the mask, as has another former champion Damon Hill.

Google Street View is a feature of Google Maps and provides a street-level 360-degree view of a number of cities around the UK and the world.

The images are captured by a fleet of Street View cars and tricycles equipped with cameras.

It's got high sales because its readers are idiots, just like all tabloid readers everywhere.

Hi all,

Kristian, aren't you at work (and almost never ever post from there)?


Leo "Apollo11"


I had an ultra-rare interlude.


A redhead, perchance?


Er, no... A): She left her job last summer, and 2): If she HAD been there, would I waste my time posting here?


I know....there are more than one redhead in the world.

Mynok, Mynok, Mynok....

There IS more than one redhead in the world. There ARE more than one blonde in the world.

Not me. I see them around more and more, but I do so much of my reading on my laptop already that I enjoy the chance to open up a book.

I am thinking about getting my wife one for our anniversary. My son has one now. He showed it to her when he was here this weekend. She seemed interested.

You should wait until Apple's tablet comes out. That will likely be Monday. Just saying....
