![http://uktv.co.uk/images/standarditem/L2/570300_L2.jpg](http://uktv.co.uk/images/standarditem/L2/570300_L2.jpg) He drinks a lot of petrol. He was born in space. He never blinks. He roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves. He sleeps upside down like a bat. His sweat can be used to clean precious metals. His skin has the texture of dolphins. If you tune your radio to 88.4 FM you can actually hear his thoughts. He does not see like humans do, instead he sees numbers in green scrolling down. He is scared of bells. He once punched a horse to the ground. His politics are terrifying. He lives in a tree. He likes DragonBoarder. He was raised by wolves. He appears on high-value stamps in Sweden. His favourite philosopher is Immanuel Kant. He has no understanding of clouds. His earwax tastes like Turkish Delight. He is confused by stairs. He naturally faces magnetic north. He is illegal in 17 U.S. states. His heart ticks like a watch. All his legs are hydraulic. He can “accumbularate”. He appears on Japanese banknotes. There’s an airport in Russia named after him. He is wanted by the CIA. His breath smells of magnesium. He can catch fish with his tongue. His tears are adhesive. If set alight, he’d burn for a thousand days. He is terrified of ducks. His voice can only be heard by cats. He has two sets of knees. He can swim seven lengths underwater. He has webbed buttocks. He can melt concrete on contact. He is more machine than man. His heart is in upside down. His teeth glow in the dark. His favorite food is raw meat. He has no age. He urinates 98 RON petrol. He can smell corners. He has acid for blood. Jimmy Carter wants him dead. He has a bionic arm. He has a tattoo of Buzz Aldrin on his thigh. He is stumped by clouds. He has no fear. His ears aren’t exactly where you would expect them to be. He once, “preposterously”, had an affair with John Prescott. He has a digital face. If he felt like it, he could fire Alan Sugar. He has named every single blade of grass surrounding the Top Gear test track. His genitals are on upside down. If he could be bothered, he could crack the Da Vinci code in 43 seconds. His ears have a paisley lining. He is banned from the Chelsea Flower Show. The outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Nürburgring. If given an important job to do, he’ll skive off and play croquet. He invented Branston Pickle. If you insult his mother, he will headbutt you in the chest. On really warm days he sheds his skin, like a snake. For some reason he’s allergic to the Dutch. His first name really is “The”. If he went on Celebrity Love Island, they’d all be pregnant - including the cameramen. He once threw a microwave oven at a tramp. Long before anyone else, he realized that Jay Goody was a racist pig-faced waste of blood and organs. He once had a vicious knife fight with Anthea Turner. He was in no way implicated in the cash for honours scandal. All we know is, he’s called The Stig and he’s the man. :bowdown ---

hey vlad i have a question for you… its kinda a long shot but… about 7 years ago i would hang out at my friend steves house on 351 and a dude with a leather skeleton suit would fly up the road every now and then… one time we saw him cut between two cars. We dubbed him the name skeleton rider… so basically i was just wondering if you ever heard of him ---

I think he is probably one of the drivers under the white helmet. The stig raced him in the last episode, awesome race between the stig and Tim Schrick. ---

Original black stig=Perry McCarthy There’s been a bunch of other stigs though: > **[The Stig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig)** > > The Stig is a character on the British motoring television show Top Gear. The character is a play on the anonymity of racing drivers' full-face helmets, with the running joke that nobody knows who is inside the Stig's racing suit. The Stig's primary role is setting lap times for cars tested on the show. Previously, he would also instruct celebrity guests, off-camera, for the show's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" segment. > The identity of the original "Black" Stig, Perry McCarthy, was exposed... ---
