If Tiff Needell says it then it's true

Just here to share with you this quote by Tiff Needell that i found on my Twitter account:

"Just read Ben has had £250k advance for his autobiography! I reckon I need a new angle to promote mine. How about 'The Daddy of all Stigs'?!"

I quite like it when he calls him self 'The Daddy of all Stigs'. He might be jocking, but after all, he sort of is. This also confirms a lot of rumors that emerged during the last month about the Stig's autobiography. For me, this is the strongest non BBC confirmation about the old (new) Stig being fired before he would probably get killed in the next series.

VIDEO: Ten fastest supercars round the Top Gear track

[spoiler alert!]

This video features the ten fastest lap times round the Top Gear test track until season 13! So if you still didn't watch the series that far, maybe you would like to wait until you'll be able watch the whole series. And maybe you shouldn't read the whole post either...

Otherwise, enjoy!

For those who aren't familiar with the corners' names here's a little reminder:


The video also includes the Ferrari FXX lap time which has been removed by Jeremy Clarkson for obvious reasons (slicks, not road legal..) but it's still worth the watch, what a noise!
