Last night I was watching an Aussie show called Chaser's war on everything, which is a show where they do pranks and stuff.

They were filming in the uk, and decided to see how far they could drive someone's car by dressing up as The Stig and asking people if he could drive their car around while they filmed it. There were a number of cars driven around before they came across a a guy in a white mini, that had racing stripes and only one front seat.

The 'Stig' then started driving it with the owner in the back seat and they drove it all the way to Stonehenge and then to Paris! When they got to Paris, the 'Stig' took off his helmet to reveal he was just some guy and not actually the Stig!

I don't know if it was anyone on here, or if they really believed it was the Stig or not for that whole time, but I couldn't stop laughing. Poor guy!

Yeah I felt sorry for him, I was secretly hoping that he knew what was going on and they just made him act like he didn't know.

Thanks for finding that youtube link wilcooper!

It is a very funny, but sometimes controversial show. They can also be very convincing unless you recognise their faces. They do a lot of anti-government stuff, and have managed to do a lot of things to embarrass the government. Some of them have also spent time in jail for stuff they have done on the show, but it's generally harmless fun.
