he's Perry McCarthy,
In todays times
JEREMY CLARKSON & Top Gear BBC team were called a bunch of joy-riding hooligans yesterday and accused of damaging one of Britains most cherished cars, the Jaguar that won the 1953 Le Mans 24-hour race.
The C-type, now worth several million pounds, was the first to average more than 100mph for the race and marked a revolution in racing design that helped Jaguar to dominate Le Mans during the 1950s.
To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the victory, the BBC borrowed the car and put it through a series of spins and high-speed manoeuvres on a runway. When the car was returned to its owner, the son of one of the winning drivers, he said he found that the vehicle had been trashed.
The drive-shafts were mangled, the clutch destroyed, the rear tyres had all the tread burnt off them and the car was in need of immediate repair.
Adrian Hamilton, whose father, Duncan, and co-driver, Tony Rolt, drove the Jaguar at Le Mans in 1953, was incensed at the cars treatment.They were just throwing the car around as if they were some hoodlums who had nicked a Fiesta out of a car park in Birmingham,he said.
When we got the Jaguar back it had obviously been hammered. The idiot who drove it showed no respect for a unique piece of racing history. He drove it like a complete lunatic.
The car, one of only three of its kind still surviving, was driven at Dunsfold airfield in Surrey by Top Gear regular racing driver, Perry McCarthy, known on the programme as Stig, who is himself a Le Mans competitor, accompanied by James May, a presenter with the programme since 1999.
A BBC spokeswoman said the way the car was driven was the result of a misunderstanding. The production team asked if it was OK for them to drive the car hard she said.Mr Hamilton said it was, but unfortunately both parties have differing opinions of what hard driving is.
Top Gear has no intention of upsetting Mr Hamilton, the car is being repaired and both parties are in discussion about the cost.

Steve, you obviously also have a different opinion of what "hard" is.
