Jeremy Clarkson - The StigWriting over at TimesOnline, Jeremy Clarkson reports that the famous white-suited Top Gear driver, the Stig, was arrested while they were filming at the Mojave desert.

“Last week I wrote about my recent trip to America, and to be honest it didn”t go down well,” Clarkson said. “I don”t think I”ve ever been on the receiving end of such a blizzard of bile. One man called me an ‘imbosile’. Hundreds more suggested that it”d be better for everyone if I just stayed at home in future.”

“You know the Stig. The all-white racing driver we use on Top Gear. Well, we were filming him walking through the Mojave desert when lo and behold a lorry full of soldiers rocked up and arrested him. He was unusual. He wasn”t fat. He must therefore be a Muslim.”

No details on why The Stig was arrested. Separately, Top Gear.com is reporting that the Stig was arrested in Dublin “by a FRIENDLY POLICEMAN following an ALLEGED INCIDENT of some kind.”

No idea who or what to believe here – but we thought we’d let you know.

    typical top gear….I doubt he was arrested at all. This is just to hype of their Top Gear Live World Tour

    just wondering why this is news and worthy of mention as I went to the Times of London and this story published July 2006, more than 3 years ago!!!

    Must be a slow auto news day

    He is no Muslim. Just an illegal Mexican. LOL

    Clearly, they're being a bit hyperbolic. Unless somebody was willing to burn the Constitution to capture The Stig, they wouldn't send SOLDIERS to arrest him. Sounds more likely they're just having a bit of “fun” in their quirky, unfunny Top Gear way.

    Also, if they'd arrested him, wouldn't his real name be public record now?
