The Twig

“With his high-fibre diet of mung beans, some people say he should be classed as a polluting vehicle in his own right. We refer to him simply as The Twig”

Who, or what is The Twig?

No one really knows, but there is a rumour that he may be a distant cousin of The Stig – the anonymous character who tests sports cars on the BBC’s Top Gear programme.

What does he do?

The Twig is a person of few words, and it’s never entirely clear what’s going on behind that darkened visor, but we do know he is green.

He turned up recently to help judge this year’s Green Car Awards. Spurning the most powerful and polluting cars on test, and using a system of nods and jerky hand gestures, he made clear to us that he buys no heavier a car than he needs for day-to-day use, preferring to rent a heavier model when need be.

Can I contact The Twig?

The twig tells us he is happy to appear at events. Email him at eta@eta.co.uk and we will pass on your messages.

The Twig also has his very own Facebook page look him up by searching GREEN TWIG.
