I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Any Top Gear fans out there?

Post by jdm delivery » June 24, 2009

I myself am a HUGE fan of the show. for those of you who dont know top gear is a show made in Britain where they test all types of super cars, hyper cars, and luxury cars. siiiiiick show too. The big news is that they finally revealed the identity of their "tame racing driver", The Stig! Old Stiggy proves to be none other than the legendary Michael Schumacher! WTF. discuss please! :)

An impromptu (and unlikely) CarFriends<3! reunion discussed the likelihood of a one-time awesomefest directly relating to the test of a FXX. As we know, Michael Schumacher was gifted an all black FXX from Ferrari.

Big, big fan here too, I was actually watching an episode when I opened the thread! Schumy hasn't been the stig this whole time however, most of the time it was Ben Collins, and the big rumor in the offseason was that they might kill off the white stig like they dig with the black stig, and bring the black stig back. Instead they just played it off with the whole Schumacher bit. He did drive his FXX around the track though.

I have been watching the show since I was about 14. I Like how they make everything seem more dramatic.

Ten years? Amazing.

Go watch some of the really old seasons. They blow in comparison. The pre-May days, awful, horrid times.
