Description
Some say he sleeps upside down like a bat.
Some say if you tune your radio to 88.4 FM you can actually hear his thoughts.
Some say he is scared of bells.
Some say he is illegal in 17 U.S states
Some say he thought Star Wars was a documentary
Some say he is confused by stairs
All we know is...He’s called The Stig
And while we are on the theme of what people say....
"The car is such a dog we should have tied it to the fence" - Dick Johnson, former Australian Touring Car Champion, discusses an obviously less than brilliant vehicle....
"If in doubt, flat out" - Colin McRae
"I was doing great, until I ran out of talent."
“Dirt is for racing, asphalt is for parking lots.”
“Good drivers have dead bugs on the side windows.” (Walter Röhrl)
“To finish first, first you have to finish”
“I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than others.” (Ayrton Senna)
“Fast cars drag race, fast drivers road race.”
“Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports...all the others are games. “ (Jim Dietz)
"I am a non discriminating driver. I want to kick everybody's ass" - Greg Ray, IRL.
"Finishing second means you are the first person to lose" - Gilles Villeneuve.
“Aerodynamics are for people who cannot build engines.” (Enzo Ferrari)
"Racing drivers have balls, unfortunately, none of them are crystal" - David Coulthard.
"I'm fine, but I'm going to need to change my shorts when this race is over" - Greg Moore over the car to pit radio after a spin in the Michigan 500.
And our favourite....
“Rallying, just like drag racing but with jumps, turns, snow, mud, gravel, skill and balls.”

Logs
It's over a year since hidden and I suspect there may be other DNF's that have simply not been logged. Unlikely that only two of us have looked in a year. I'd say it's gone.
Had a very thorough look for this one. I've found it before so I knew the shape and the hint was quite specific. I checked each guard rail post for quite a distance each way. Found one with an ideal hiding spot and right next to it some rocks, but no cache. Given the time period I'd say it has gone. The only other possibility is that it's been removed from it's hiding spot and is somewhere in the area, but I can't see any casual finder just throwing the Stig away.
I discovered this one on the bonnet of JAB's car, but left it behind for someone else to take with them.
This cache will be at the event tonight at 8.30
Dont search for this one until then!!!

The was a type in the coordinates - two digits had been transposed. Corrected now. Apologies for any inconvenience. Checked tonight and the cache is still there.
On our first attempt, there were muggles occupying the picnic bench, so we carried on collecting other caches and came back a little while later, to a deserted park. Excellent! However, we could not find the cache. There seemed to be only one table that matched the hint, but the coords seemed wrong, about 24 metres off. Searched in the sea grass near the table but only found rubbish...
We got up early this morning and have created a mini power trail of transport caches. Bring a bag to transport them!
some say... he is back out there again
Nabbed on an early morning raid FTF@ 1:05hrs
