Hey guys,

I just finished watching top gear oz again tonight, and it made me start thinking who was the aussie stig?

some rumours i have read, say that he isnt very tall from the footage, and some have said he seemed a little over weight in the first few episodes, also that it might have been a fill in for the first few till they found somebody to do it fulltime.

anyway some have said russell ingall?

also read rick bates maybe?

I have no idea but if anybody has some evidence or has seen any, post up links etc in here. eventually somebody will have to find out who it is!

Cheers

Daz

i think the show is actually getting better, cant wait to see the gtr next week.. it better be a good story or thats the end of me trying to watch it.

i think it might be rusty.. the way the "stig" if you can call him that, his driving position reminds me of rusty.. i dont know of anyone else that sits like that.. long shot but its my 2c anyway..

as for skaife... well... some say he likes to cry alot.

yea the show is sort of gradually getting better, but some of the stuff there doing isnt even laugh worthy. but they are getting alittle better over all, but will never be the UK guys. but i think they are slowly finding there feet and making there own way.

I was thinking ingall aswell. he's not too tall, and isnt exactly skinny like some other racers. but yeah, somebody out there has to have some solid evidence. lol

my mate works for defecne and he said that once of the guys on the defence forums, saw john bowe walking around a race circut in a full white suit. he then proceeded to thrash a crapload of different cars, and then did an interview without taking his helmet off.

he told me this before the show had aired...and suprise he then proceeded to thrash a bunch of cars.

but eh...

who cares...from what ive read the uk one is a bunch off diff people not jsut the one.

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
