"The Stig Hoons a Datsun?!" what does that mean?

Post by rnorrish »

Japanese Nostalgic Car wrote: The Stig Hoons a Datsun

On the latest episode of BBC Top Gear, Jezza, the Hamster and Captain Slow celebrate the 40th anniversary of British Leyland in one of their famous cheap car challenges. Armed with 1200 pounds sterling, each of them is sent to buy the best BL manufactured car they can find, and then subject it to a barrage of challenges to test speed, durability, and humiliation.

This is definitely worth the watch. If you're not a Top Gear fan now, you will be afterwards. Quite possibly my favourite episode - i was crying! and there's a Datsun in it!

STIG: Student Till I Graduate, or more commonly just STIG, is a fanzine dedicated to the League of Ireland association football team UCD.

Hoon: an Australian and New Zealand colloquial term applied to individuals who typically drive fast and dangerously. The term is also used as a verb: "to hoon" or "to hoon around", meaning to act in a reckless or otherwise less than sensible manner.

or in the show, The Stig is their unknown test driver.

"The Stig is the name given to the anonymous racing driver on the BBC motoring show Top Gear. In the show he is cast as a mysterious "tamed racing driver" whose identity is unknown, and who never speaks or removes his helmet on camera. Nonetheless he is fully credited as a presenter alongside Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May."


Some say...........

He drinks a lot of petrol.

He was born in space.

He never blinks.

He roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves.

He sleeps upside down like a bat.

His sweat can be used to clean precious metals.

His skin has the texture of dolphins.

If you tune your radio to 88.4 FM you can actually hear his thoughts.

He does not see like humans do, instead he sees numbers in green scrolling down.

He is scared of bells.

He once punched a horse to the ground.

His politics are terrifying.

He lives in a tree.

He likes DragonBoarder.

He has no understanding of clouds.

His earwax tastes like Turkish Delight.

He is confused by stairs.

He naturally faces magnetic north.

He is illegal in 17 U.S. states.

His heart ticks like a watch.

All his legs are hydraulic.

He can "accumbularate".

He appears on Japanese banknotes.

There's an airport in Russia named after him.

He is wanted by the CIA.

His breath smells of magnesium.

He can catch fish with his tongue.

His tears are adhesive.

If set alight, he'd burn for a thousand days.

He is terrified of ducks.

His voice can only be heard by cats.

He has two sets of knees.

He can swim seven lengths underwater.

He has webbed buttocks.

He can melt concrete on contact.

He is more machine than man.

His heart is in upside down.

His teeth glow in the dark.

His favorite food is raw meat.

He has no age.

He urinates 98 RON petrol.

He can smell corners.

He has acid for blood.

Jimmy Carter wants him dead.

He has a bionic arm.

He has a tattoo of Buzz Aldrin on his thigh.

He is stumped by clouds.

He has no fear.

His ears aren't exactly where you would expect them to be.

He once, "preposterously", had an affair with John Prescott.

He has a digital face.

If he felt like it, he could fire Alan Sugar.

He has named every single blade of grass surrounding the Top Gear test track.

His genitals are on upside down.

If he could be bothered, he could crack the Da Vinci code in 43 seconds.

His ears have a paisley lining.

He is banned from the Chelsea Flower Show.

The outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Nürburgring.

If given an important job to do, he'll skive off and play croquet.

He invented Branston Pickle.

If you insult his mother, he will headbutt you in the chest.

On really warm days he sheds his skin, like a snake.

For some reason he's allergic to the Dutch.

His first name really is "The".

If he went on Celebrity Love Island, they'd all be pregnant - including the cameramen.
