Google Street View Captures THE STIG

Google Street View captures THE STIG

Top Gear's mystery driver spotted in the office window

Popular car-guy internet meme number one: strange things captured by Google's Street View ground-level city-mapping cameras.

Popular car-guy internet meme number two: the elusive Stig, Top Gear's mystery super-driver.

What do you get when you combine the two? The Stig caught by a Street View camera, of course. Top Gear staffers discovered this very thing, when surfing Street View's database on a whim. The TG guys found their offices, and the Street View's cameras caught the Stig in what appears to be an office meeting.

There's no telling how old the picture is, or even if it's just another elaborate prank being pulled by the Top Gear crew. Whether this is Ben Collins, the recently unmasked White Stig, or his replacement is up to you to speculate.

It's a dummy. I've seen it standing in the Top Gear office on another BBC show.

Some may say he can drive blindfolded ... Some may say he can drive on water ... Some may say he will be the next F1 world champion ... but I say someone has missed a commercial opportunity by failing to produce an inflatable STIG so we can have him in every google earth street view photo world wide !!!
