I read about that a while ago. It was fake, a way for him to retire. It's also an inside joke for him wrecking someone's XJ220 during filming of the show haha.

I got video of an episode where they show him jumping the jaguar off the ship and then they do a little tribute to him and then they introduce the newer "whiter and brighter" stig

lemme see if I can find the url where I got it from or upload it myself

it's obviously fake and you'll see it when you watch the vid..

here it is:

http://oregonstate.edu/~millsal/files/Top.Gear.2003.11.02.avi

178mb file ;) 1 hour long but it's a very fast download (I got it in around 8 minutes..) WELL WORTH THE WAIT

well worth the download though....they test the following cars on the Isle Of Man (no speed limits......):
M3 CSL 3.0 CSL, M1, E30 M3, E28 M5 and they do a Z4 vs. Boxter vs. S2000 competition and they try to jump a volvo station wagon over like 5 campers

jeremy:"oh no...i thought we had heard the last of musical cheese when the old stig drowned to death"

how is the new stig listening to music when there is no stereo in the CSL ;)

Must be an inside joke, remember when the original Stig test the Koenigsegg vs Murcielago he had the same cheez music playing, in fact, don't they play that same music every time he drives a car :)

For those of you who haven't seen this video (Koenigsegg vs the Lamborghini) get it of kazaa NOW!!!
