The Stig's Garage? He might have one. He might not. Who could say, when The Stig says nothing to anyone or anything, except geese?
But that doesn't stop us speculating, and that's what we're doing here. In the latest issue of Top Gear magazine, we've chosen the 51 cars we think Stig would have in his garage.
But, when we're talking about a tame racing driver who might be an alien or robot or possibly both, predicting the contents of Stig's Garage is not an exact science.
So, the choice of cars we've made might very well be completely wrong. Or partially wrong. Take a look at the list in the mag and let us know what you think - or just drop us a note with your suggestions anyway.
And we're not talking about your mate's Nova SR here, we mean really very obvious Stig Machines that he wouldn't fail to have in his garage in a zillion years. Things like the Lambo Reventon or Mazda Furai. Leftfield choices like that 410bhp 6R4 Metro or an Osh Kosh tank carrier. Get the picture?
Let us know and we'll sort out a proper final list at TopGear.com for you to carry on arguing about at your leisure.

He would drive a Toyota Prius with the 3.5L V6 hybrid engine from the Toyota FT-HS Concept car. Rear wheel drive naturally!
I really think the GT-R should be there. A machine for a machine. And as Stig said, "....... ....... .......", and you cannot go wrong with that!
Stig only has one car, the Hyundai i10 He doesn't need to have an R10 or the Furai. He drives them when he works for TG or whatever it is he does.

I haven't read the magazine (we get them a few months late in Canada), but here's a guess at something bizarre that he might have: the "Ford Nucleon", it may not have worked, but who else would have a nuclear powered car!
More of a hangar than a garage then?
Haven't picked up the issue yet, but if there's any car that the Stig definitely has in his garage, it's a DeLorean.
Especially if he's an alien time traveler. Oh wait, that'd be a TARDIS then, wouldn't it?
i think he would have one of those fold-up scooters for when he drives a car until it runs out of petrol.
Everyone has owned at least one truly awful car and thats why the stig has owned the MG Maestro Turbo. Everyone got it wrong in the eighties. I heard he was sold when he fell in love with the digital dash......it reminded him of his own face
his main car will be a honda crx vtec
He should definetly have a 911 GT2 mk 1 A Lancia Stratos, because only The Stig could tame that little monster and a G-Whizz for the green element!!!!
Toyota GT One. I be he goes to Tescos in one.
The Mercedes McLaren SLR, because his holiness The Stig would need a GT to drive to the Nurburgring and also a supercar to set a blistering time around it!
An original Mini Cooper for sure.
