Gallery: The Stig's celebrity friends

Just because we live in a digital age, it doesn't diminish the enjoyment of a dusty photo album and a nostalgic reminisce about the good old days. We've just wrapped up another series of Top Gear, so thought it'd be a good time to show you some of our celebrity laps from way back in the past.

What we have here are photos of photos taken from the Top Gear Green Room down at our test track. It's a slightly damp place, located in a run-down glorified shed, where celebrities anxiously wait before being interviewed by Jeremy. In this room they endlessly rack their brains over their lap, worrying whether they cut Gambon a bit too much while gorging on as many packets of beef and onion crisps as they can handle, all washed down with a Fruit Shoot or two.

So click through to see three generations of Reasonably Priced Cars, some stellar celebrities and re-watch their lap, interview or behind the scenes at the handy blue link provided.

Enjoy.
