ORIGINAL STIG sends shivers of 'Top Fear' through the BBC
There's been a lot of news in the press recently with the Stig(s) making comments over the debacle at Top Gear, or as I like to refer to it... BBC's Top Fear!
The Original Stig, and there can only be one 'ORIGINAL', has made his views clear publicly. True to his friendship he made it known that he supports his friend Jeremy Clarkson and that Top Gear without JC would be like rain without water!
Around 500,000 people who signed the petition to keep JC on Top Gear agree with him...
I wonder if that is precisely why the 'other' guy... you know, the copy... with the apt initials of B.C. showing he's already history, and old history at that, has dissed our TV favourite implying Top Gear would be good without JC?
I support The ORIGINAL STIG, the one who made that iconic figure happen. The man with the personality to carry it off. The man who can seriously handle a car and can also handle people. The man with an incredible sense of humour... Why on earth not? As for the 'other' guy, if it weren't for Perry McCarthy and Jeremy Clarkson in the first place, where would he be today anyway... My message to B.C. can be summed up in three words...
"You ungrateful Git!"
Right, now, rant over... I have more light hearted things to get on with... i.e. introducing the one and only ORIGINAL STIG to Simon's 10 Q Interviews.
So, without further ado...
Today, as Perry McCarthy's autobiography 'Flat Out Flat Broke' sits on the Kindle throne, the number 1 spot, of the motorsport genre in the; US, UK and Australia, Perry McCarthy aka THE ORIGINAL STIG has been busy working out how to respond to Simon's 10 Q Interview.
As always he did not disappoint this interviewer. Pitched wit against wit he came out smiling... If you want a taste of his writing style get across to the website now. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! The Perry McCarthy interview is live NOW!
Please consider sharing this interview using the following pre prepared tweet! Txs.

#BookRecommendation
If you are looking for an exceptional, inspiring, motivational book for a friend or relative this Christmas I can genuinely recommend the autobiography Flat Out Flat Broke by Perry McCarthy.
Perry, a motor racing driver turned motivational speaker was the Original STIG on a BBC TV program Top Gear which airs across 188 countries worldwide.
But he was also Formula Ford Champion, raced Nascar in the USA, The Le Mans 24 hour endurance race, he was a Formula 3/3000 driver and eventually a Formula 1 race driver.... His journey through racing was a battle from day 1 and he relives his story for the reader with great humour which anybody and everybody can appreciate and relate to.
The book has become something of a life bible to me, a pick me up, a laugh and a method of reflection.
What more can you ask from the perfect Christmas gift? It sure beats another pair of socks!!
But don't take my word for it... It is already a global bestseller with around 300,000 copies sold to date. The new kindle edition has great pictures of Perry at home and includes original photo footage from his life changing accident..
An INCREDIBLE read!
