Top Gear reports Stig arrested in both Dublin and Mojave Desert
Some say he has a problem with authority. Others say he's actually capable of being in two places at the same time, and getting arrested in both. All we know is that Top Gear is making less sense with every passing day.
One of the BBC car show's myriad blogs reports that the enigmatic test driver known to all as The Stig was "sensationally" arrested by police in Dublin for some unknown incident, possibly involving assault on a "hairy biker" or a swan. Not much else was said, other than that the arresting Garda officer was friendly and that the program's live action show is set to visit the Irish city in December.
Meanwhile, TG frontman Jeremy Clarkson disclosed in his regular column in The Sunday Times that the Stig was also detained in the Mojave Desert, where the crew was apparently filming another misadventure in America. According to Clarkson, "a lorry full of soldiers" mistook Stiggy for a Muslim since he's not fat. Right... For our part, we'll take both stories with a grain of salt as big as Stig's helmet while we wait for mug shots from either incident to surface.

Is the joke REALLY on Jeremy? It's only good natured teasing.

He's only diverting attention from toothless, ugly Brits to some plump Yanks.
Just imagine how fat the brits would be if they had dental care.

is that right? goes to show you that news sometimes are not that new after all. I just want top gear back in action. I hope they release all their series in DVD so that I can have them all.

x2 to that, i'm sure it would be outrageously expensive though, but damnit i'd still pay it!

I've said it a million times. They could do this show on Showtime or HBO and have an even bigger audience.
It will never be on network(free) TV.
Does anyone at top gear hear me....ANYONE!?!???!!

Okay Tommy Kendal, we all know you're under there, come on out, the nice policeman wants to compare your mug to your license.
