Although I already have a shirt that says "I am the Stig" so I guess I would be on the outs with the show even before I started.

This is old news.
I doubt he gets fired.

After all, I've paid you some damned good coin over the years to divert fan's attentions away from my driving for the show --

The real disgrace is that BBC America elected to show a bunch of inauguration related crap last night instead of a new episode of Top Gear.

Got home at 11 pm from a very long day at work, cracked opened a cold one, plopped down on the couch, clicked on the TiVo, and then, WTF!!!

Time to get the torrents and not bother with the watered down, incomplete version of the show they broadcast in the US.

Official Response from Top Gear: http://transmission.blogs.topgear.co...g-is-revealed/

Turns out the Daily Telegraph had the wrong information!

Not really sure why the newspapers would want to try to spoil what is just a bit of fun for a few million Top gear fans anyway...
