DukeTrout Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Too bad TG and 5G split up. JC could do the talking, Tiff could do the driving. Actually, maybe Tiff is The Stig?:spin::spin: Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edkwon Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Too bad TG and 5G split up. JC could do the talking, Tiff could do the driving. Actually, maybe Tiff is The Stig?:spin::spin: Even tho they'll never officially admit it, the white Stig is mostly portrayed by this guy, Ben Collins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Collins_%28driver%29 in actuality, white Stig has been portrayed by 3 or 4 different ppl for special occasions, but one guy is still the main white Stig. The old black Stig was officially revealed to be ex F1 driver Perry McCarthy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_McCarthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddr7 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Would love to see the guy at a track I go to to see how good he really is at driving. I cant believe he is bad at all because of his job. I like his recklessness and like his episode with the veyron. Very much like a everyday guy responding to going 200mph. Goosebumps. I like watching some of his stuff.

dr_sharp Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 That said, i would rather watch three weeks non stop of top gear than 1 hour of fifth gear. I'd rather watch 3 weeks of 5th gear rather than top gear. I'd rather listen to 3 weeks of top gear rather than 5th gear lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 No you are not the Stig. You are Stig's American Cousin. http://jalopnik.com/cars/assets/resources/2007/02/Stig-Fat.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeding_gaijin Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The only reason Ford Mondeo is in there is that JC does not know what is a 2007 JDM Subaru Legacy B4 Spec B tuned by Sti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserpro2 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 ^that is going to be stupid if he doesn't. to me that is. it's like i know that the impreza back then had a special STi Spec C Type RA-R limited to forgot how many models, but i don't know that there are normal impreza STis for sale. or rather, i just guess that it's weird to them and that they know that there are the leggy and fozzy is good enough.

DukeTrout Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 He doesn't get that car in the UK. He'd have to go to Japan to drive it. If he's going to Japan to drive a car, I doubt it would be a Subaru. GT-R, maybe. Next Gen NSX, probably. Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt!

KartRacerBoy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Clarkson is not that skilled a driver, he's just really aggressive and fearless but doesnt drive with much finesse. Don't confuse his frequent powersliding on the TG car reviews with significant skill, because 9 times out of 10 he spins out on those powerslides, they edit mostly the good ones. Now Tiff Needel, on Fifth Gear, is a phenomenoal track driver, his segments of hodling a Porsche 911 GT3 RS in a long drift on a track is amazing. And Tiff Needel has a fantastic name. Plus, he raced sportscars for years, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deimos Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 And Tiff Needel has a fantastic name. Plus, he raced sportscars for years, I believe. The best clip ever is of Tiff driving the McLaren F1. Its the first time I ever saw fear in his eyes and voice "whoooaaaaaoaoaaaaaa!" lol Hes a lot better than JC imho, altho clarkson is funnier, its more entertaining to watch Tiff drive.

speeding_gaijin Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yeah, but somebody needs to re-attach Tiff's nads cuz he sounds like a girl. Better driver does not mean better presenter or better journalist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
