The Stig writes riveting review of Nissan GT-R
We've all heard our share of rumors about the true identity of the one called The Stig. But after our childhood notions of the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus were shattered, we prefer to keep the legend of the anonymous test driver from Top Gear alive. So we're not about to claim that The Stig is one of us – or is he? – but the enigmatic pilot recently tried his hand at blogging. Trouble is, as we already know, The Stig doesn't have opposable thumbs or speak (let alone write) any discernible language known to man.
The entry on the Top Gear blog is part of a series of posts while the crew is out on the Isle of Man – the British isle with no speed limits and the birthplace of Nigel Mansell – where Stig is driving the Nissan GT-R. Click the Top Gear link to read the Stig's impressions of the Nissan GT-R. It is perhaps the most concise review of Nissan's supercar we've ever read.

You autobloggers should learn some writing lessons from the Stig.
His review is clear, concise and to the point.

Some say that any communication from the Stig would be so far beyond a mortal human's comprehension that it would undoubtedly be misinterpreted as the clicks and whistles of cetaceans.
Paraphrasing, our best scientists think it means, "So long, and thanks for all the gas."

I can tell how precise the GTR respond to Stig to the point where 2 machines have become 1.
The Best Review Ever !!

And that key doesn't say space, but instead it reads "Race"

Well see, he doesn't need the physical ability to write, does he? No, he is far beyond written text.
He can simply directly interface with the studio computer's processor (the same one Jeremy looks for porn on) and write his articles purely in 0s and 1s, which gets translated through various layers so that we mere humans may understand him.
