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.

AuthorsDB Book Cover Contest 2015
Recently Perry McCarthy, The Original Stig launched his autobiography on Kindle... It's a riot and unsurprisingly, as a paperback now out of print, already ranks within the Top 20 Bestselling Motorsports Books of all time.
Perry McCarthy has now updated, recovered and added some content to his autobiography;
Flat Out Flat Broke: The Original Stig
The cover has gone down very well indeed and has been nominated for the Best Cover Award 2015 on AuthorsDB.
I personally love the cover and fell over laughing whilst reading the book; Flat Out Flat Broke.
Perry probably had more business on a stage making people laugh than in a motorcar on a race track. That said he succeeded in becoming Formula Ford Champion, a Formula 1 race driver and The Original Stig on BBC's Top Gear program. Now he is truly in his element as an after dinner speaker, a highly entertaining one at that!
But the fact of the matter is, his book has, in my opinion, an astonishingly striking cover (for which Tim Booth Photography can take a lot of the credit).
Whether or not you like a goodread, a laugh, in some places potentially a tear, largely due to Perry's consistent run of misfortune during his racing career, I would ask you to consider taking a look at his book cover and if you feel it is worthy of recognition to follow the link below and take a moment to vote for Flat Out Flat Broke as the best cover for 2015...

THE ORIGINAL STIG
Perry McCarthy's autobiography: Flat Out Flat Broke - The Original Stig is not just a book for racing fans.
It is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read and surpasses the expectations one would have for the memoirs of a racing driver.
Perry McCarthy, BBC TV's Original Stig is a comedian and he has needed a sense of humor to get through the unimaginable setbacks he faced throughout his career with a smile still on his face!
We all love an underdog and Perry, who started off in racing relatively late in life and without that corporate cushion of sponsorship, self financed most of his career. Following setback after setback he kept smiling, even after an accident which broke his back in 2 places at Oulton Park! (Pictures of Perry Airborne and inverted in said crash are included within the book). His story is hilariously written and takes each reader on his emotional rollercoaster although in the passenger seat throughout the entire journey. It's fast paced, well written and amazingly inspirational...
But, there's more! The new cover for the Kindle version is a masterpiece and you should consider lending it your vote in the AuthorsDB 2015 cover contest where it has been nominated for best cover in the autobiography genre... It's an all around masterpiece and hat goes off to Perry for writing it... Great writing, masses of pictures, masses of fun!
If you would like to consider voting for the cover the link is below. If you would consider downloading the book use the same link and you will find links on the same page... I'll stop waffling on now...
