If you're a regular reader of Autoblog, you'll know we're big fans of Top Gear. The BBC car show has a dedicated following in the UK who watch the show, read the magazine and even show up for filming at their set, plus even more viewers abroad watching the show syndicated or on BBC World with a weekly global audience estimated at over 350 million.
Now all those fans can have a piece of the action, as Top Gear has finally launched a line of merchandise. The new line offers t-shirts for man, woman and child, key-chains, caps, umbrellas, bags, jackets and even the Stig board game.
Sure to be most popular, though, is the line of Stig t-shirts, bearing the image of the show's mysterious test driver. Each one has a different image of the Stig on the front with a corresponding slogan used by host Jeremy Clarkson to introduce him on each show. Our favorite: "Some say...The Stig urinates 98 Ron Petrol"

I wish they had this stuff available when I was at the BBC in May. I looked for it specifically.

Not to mention the internation audience who gets the show through *other* means, since syndication of the full show isn't available in all areas. Seriously, they should provide a full-length subscription for $3/episode on the website - I bet people would bite!
