Stig: sensationally arrested

Posted by Sam Philip at 4:54 pm on Thursday October 15, 2009

StigBig news straight out of Dublin: the Stig has been SENSATIONALLY ARRESTED by a FRIENDLY POLICEMAN following an ALLEGED INCIDENT of some kind.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing the white-suited racing driver being hauled from his car by a member of the local Garda late yesterday afternoon, not 10 minutes after he mysteriously disembarking a bus headed to the city centre.

“I didn’t see what happened exactly,” said one onlooker, “but it was probably really bad. Maybe he punched a swan or tried to push one of the Hairy Bikers into the river. Again.”

The local police are yet to comment on the ALLEGED INCIDENT, but did helpfully confirm that the Natural Museum’s gift shop stays open until 5pm on weekdays.

This isn’t the first time that Top Gear’s tame racing driver has been in trouble with the authorities. In 2006 he had a similar run-in while racing Clarkson to Scotland in a kit car.

StigBy freakish coincidence, the 2009 Top Gear Live World Tour will be stopping off in Dublin in December. And thanks to Stig’s little brush with the law, the world now knows all about that. Which is lucky.

Police have asked anyone with further information to refrain from writing ‘Wooh, first comment!’ in those box-things below.

    I agree with the authorities. Typing “woo, first comment!” or any other such trivial spam should become an arrestable offence, carrying a life sentence.

    @Sambawacki[38], I think he already does fortnightly autobiographies… they’re called AutoTrader.

    I heard the police had to call in the fire brigade to saw off the steering column because the Stig had been driving so long that his hands had become one with the steering wheel.

    Sie sind mein Mond, meine Sonne und Sterne,
    meine Masse, mein Himmel, mein Meer.

    Meine Liebe für Sie geht unten und unten
    unter das Leben und Tod,
    also tief muß es bleiben,
    wenn ich meinen letzten schwachen Atem gezeichnet habe.

    Das Halten Sie für Monate und Jahre
    läßt Zeit verschwinden,
    bildet Ihre Lippen meine Lippen,
    Ihr Gesicht mein Gesicht, Ihr Riß mein Riß;

    Bildet uns ein merkwürdiges personage,
    das alle im Bliss intertwined,
    nicht Mann oder Frau,
    Phasen- oder tot — gerade nichts — aber einen Kuß!

    The Stig is a stupid creature, is this a woman or a very small man?. Think he is a clown like Top Gear programme. Isn’t about time to end this programme after all thois years and come up sokething new? Another thing, the selfish Britishness of judging the cars are silly, great cars get dumped and only British one’s get best retults. Childishj, the biggest child of all, Clarksson, should be taken off screen for good. And for Gods sake please let us get rid of this Stig person or let us know who he are. If Top Gear did know who really owned the brands they were testing, they would only ride bikes. Cherio.

    The Stig is too good to be arrested anyway! =P
