AFAIK Damon jumped some AMG Merc thing on a TV show, and made the presenter be sick out the window. I guess thats what the papers are on about.

edit : Damon is about 6 foot so unless there using some suspect cameras it aint him IMO

defo not the build of Damon Hill or Johnny Herbert. He is a bit more chubby so it could be Stig Blomquist.

Will be paying attention on Sunday night (as long as Steven doesn't want to watch the Disney channel again) and have a closer look!

I thought Stig was a reference to the scruffy appearance of Damon Hill - as in Stig of the dump

I reckon it's Damon Hill. He's lives locally, and has nothing else to do these days

Not much chance too see him - he's not tall, and not that fat... Not sure how much weight Stig B has put on, but he's who my money's on. JC intimated the name was an obvious clue

I have it on good opinion that its a chap called Dave Clark who owns/works at racelogic uk hence the proliferation of racelogic branded timing devices. my man in the know is so sure that he blurted it as soon as he saw the silohuette and when i asked "who?" he proceeded to tell me about the racelogic connection. no sooner than he said this were were shown a racelogic vbox strapped to the dash. and bbc dont do adds!

The Merc driven by Damon, was on the Motorshow programme, Sunday before last. The prog was introduced by Jason Barlow, and that bald bloke from "Right car, Wrong car". It was the bald bloke who was sick
Damon said "i've never had that happen to me before" complete with a big grin on his face.
