Default TOP GEAR- Stig Revealed?

Tired of all the rumors, The Stig shows his face and he looks a lot like F1 legend Michael Schumacher—Can it be true?

Season 13 - U.S. Premiere: Jan. 25th at 8/7c

I think we knew this all along, but i cant wait for the new season. THE best damn automotive show period!

Ahh I won't spoil it for you too much... so I won't.

Just a friendly note, Season 14 has actually wrapped up. Finalgear.com is where most of the meaningful topgear discussion takes place, and it offers links to download the episodes both in HD and Standard definition shortly after the air in Great Britain. When I learned the US BBC was 2 seasons behind, I ditched that ASAP

Yeah... Season 14 just ended last Sunday.
Finalgear is a good source for discussion (don't partake in them personally) and finding torrent and DDL links.

Watching top gear on American BBC is full of fail.

Finalgear.com FTW

The Stig isn't Human. So, any reveal that involves a Human has to be a joke; lol.

A true reveal would destroy the mistique, IMO. Hopefully, it'll never happen.

Haven't you guys read post #5 in, this thread, where it states that the reveal was just a joke & Stig is not really Michael Schumacher. Based on the history of Top Gear's humor, it makes sense.

The black stig did get revealed. And he was killed off. That's why the stig is white now. So I doubt it will happen again.

Anyone know where to get a free download of "torrent" or any media player that will play the on-line episodes? Thanks

One of my friends who lives on the other side of the pond said that it was common knowledge that the Stig was different racecar drivers depending on availability. They said that if you look closely sometimes the Stig appears lean and other times a little chunky.

Where are you clicking? There is no registration process.

Shows>Series>Season>Episode

From there you will see the links to the torrents. Click on the torrent link of your choice and it will open and begin to download in whatever torrent program you are using. I recommend Utorrent.

That's the problem, I don't have torrent. I'm looking for a free download site for it.

Torrents are free (a Broadband connection is highly recommended). Grab Utorrent, set it up to get optimal download speeds, and you are good to go.

That will be the most reliable way to get full episodes online.
