Stig: spotted in Amsterdam

Posted by Sam Philip at 11:27 am on Wednesday October 21, 2009

StigFollowing last week’s SENSATIONAL ARREST in Dublin, is the Stig now on the run from the police?

Our tame racing driver was spotted yesterday piloting a boat down a canal in Amsterdam, a city which, coincidentally, is included on this year’s Top Gear Live world tour for the first time.

“I had no idea that it was even possible to oversteer a barge,” said one astounded onlooker with a slightly amusing accent. “The tyre smoke was somewhat inexplicable, also. I mean, do barges even have tyres?”

After alighting from his commandeered vessel, the Stig made his getaway in a bright orange Spyker and was last spotted heading in the direction of Holland’s largest clog factory.

StigDutch police refused to comment on whether the Stig was now being treated as a international fugitive, but did confirm that an unidentified white-suited man was wanted for questioning in connection with an incident involving an Edam cheese warehouse.

Rumours that Stig’s law-bending European tour is nothing more than a blatant stunt to drum up publicity for Top Gear Live have been vehemently denied.

    p.s. give the so called ‘Topgear Malaysia’ magazine people a talking to because to be honest it is an embarressment to the TG reputation! i mean all they do is take old articals from the british one, and add on a few of their own ones which are misspelt and rubbish!

    It’s been rumored that the Stig has the ear of the U.S. President. By the way, I hope you guys bring the show on a U.S. tour! That way, we US Top Gear fans can come out of our closets and give you guys a proper welcome!

    Top Gear Live needs to come to America. Skip the south if you don’t want to get more rocks thrown at you, just come to the northwest. It’s not at all like Alabama up here.

    Haha the Stig’s pioneering for TopGear now? I assure you, Amsterdam is more than the two things it’s famous for! It has nice streets, funny lights around Christmas, and you can have pretty much any vehicle there.

    Zhan…they tried and the idea was DOA due to the sub-par comedic talent they tried to get. Plus Obama would criticize them for being unpatriotic! But Top Gear Live really needs to come to the US…the gang has already done a number of “educational” films here….and pissed off lots of rednecks.

    “Major Slippery” aka The Stig does need to fly over the pond and come visit the US….however, the ultra-liberal administration in charge of Washington will probably vow to make him utter “politically correct” spin, unless, of course he makes an appearance on Fox News! I don’t want to watch a politically correct Stig or Top Gear! Enough already! Let me fly over to Britain and see the show…what do ya think?
