My favorite part of that segment was the bit where they realized that the Stig would have to stop for fuel, and wondered whether he'd ever done that before, and how he'd pay for it.

Cut to the Stig in line to pay for his gas at the motorway services, which he does with:

his Bank of Money charge card.

(I can't decide whether the date is supposed to imply that he was born on January 45, 1977, or the first day of 1977's 45th month. Or maybe the actual year 77. :)

Somewhere a while after the white version was introduced, someone realized that the Stig suddenly becomes comedy gold when removed from his usual setting. See also: The Stig being delivered to the Isle of Man in a crate; the Stig riding the Tube; the Stig in Blackpool.
