Transmission – BBC Top Gear
Stig is revealed

Graham Hill as the Stig Top Gear’s mystery test driver is legendary dead racer Graham Hill, according to someone or other The Mole spoke to.

The identity of the hit TV show’s famous wheelman will come as a shock to the dozens of petrolheads worldwide who had speculated that the man in the white suit was GP World Champion Damon Hill.

“To find out that it’s actually his dad will come as a shock,” said a man yesterday.

In an alleged plot believed to have cost the licence payer millions of pounds, BBC bosses apparently helped Graham Hill fake his own death in a plane crash.

According to Mole sources, the BBC knew as far back as 1974 that one day they’d hire Jeremy Clarkson to front their motoring show which didn’t exist yet, and that Jeremy would probably go to a school where they called new boys ‘Stigs’, and that in 2002 he’d probably invent an anonymous racing driver and probably give him that same name.

So they approached Graham Hill, whose professional driving career was over at that point, and asked him to crash a plane and then hide in a bush until he got the call from the Top Gear team 20 odd years later,” said a BBC insider.

He added: “The BBC does make a mess of some things but they’re pretty good at forward planning.”

The mystery driver’s identity was uncovered when a cleaner discovered some empty tins of moustache wax in a Mclaren SLR that the Stig had just lapped round the Top Gear test track.

“I found the tins and the penny dropped,” said the cleaner. “I mean when did you ever see Graham Hill without his moustache on?” Or something like that, anyway.

2012 Men’s Fashion Forecast

Although a custom suit is essential for any respectable man’s wardrobe, there are a number of other fashion trends that you should keep in your closet. Below you will find some of this year’s hottest fashion trends from your friends at Mohan’s Custom Tailors.
One-Button Suits – After years of enduring the three-button suit for every occasion, it’s no wonder that the one-button suit is making a comeback in America: One-button jackets and blazers give the body a longer, leaner look and a super-slimming silhouette. The Color Gray – Be it accessories, shoes, boots, or custom suits, the color gray and all of its shades is one of the major trends for 2012. Why? Because gray can be worn with black and white as well as be mixed with bolder colors like yellow, blue, and purple. Bold Colors – Speaking of bold colors, they are definitely in this year. Green, orange, yellow, and pink are among the top choices in 2012. These brave and bold colors certainly make an outfit more interesting, but know that they will also draw a lot of attention. Double Breasted Blazers – The double-breasted blazer is set to be a big trend this year, as it adds a confident look to any suit while also broadening the shoulders and slimming the waist. The modern version of this classic jacket is chic and streamlined. Short Proportions – Traditional proportions are going to be turned on their heads for 2012. What does this mean? It means that you can expect to see shorter blazers and cropped trousers that are reminiscent of the 1950s mod-subculture. To learn more about this year’s hottest trends in men’s fashion, stop by Mohan’s Custom Tailors. As one of the premier clothiers in New York City for nearly 40 years, Mohan’s Custom Tailors has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to men’s fashion.
