| The Stig's Identity LEAKED? Quote:
Fans of Top Gear might want to prepare themselves for another Stig death soon. When "Black Stig" Perry McCarthy revealed himself, Clarkson, Hammond and May offed him. Now, according to the UK's Telegraph, the "White Stig" has apparently ended the mystery, revealing himself as 33 year-old Ben Collins. Collins has raced professionally in everything from NASCAR to LeMans, and most recently served as Agent 007's double for sequences of Quantum of Solace that required fancy wheel work. It's been such a secret for so long, how did the veil of silence come to be broken? Collins himself apparently revealed his day job to the owner of an art gallery in Bristol, England when asking for help producing a limited-edition print of The Stig plying his trade.
A builder had also come across the famed white suit and gloves on display in a cabinet while doing work at Collins' home, and there has been conjecture in the past that Collins is The Stig. Now that the cat is out of the bag, we wonder if there's much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the halls of Top Gear's offices. Secret identity or no, Collins has proven himself as a fantastic driver as The Stig, and with this latest revelation, he potentially faces "The Sack" as they say in Merry Old.
No confirmation yet from Clarkson, Hammond or May on this revelation, and the only word out of Top Gear is that they "...never comment on speculation as to who or what The Stig is." Hmm. In any case, we are left to wonder... what color will a new Stig be? Red? Gold? Blue? Thanks for the tip, Richard!
| http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/19/t...stig-revealed/ ![eek](http://www.revscene.net/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif) I think he'll probably get sacked and there will be a new coloured stig (I'm thinking red.)

The great thing about never seeing him, is that they can say they 'fired' him, or 'offed' him and do whatever they like, and keep him in the suit if they really want to. No one would know.

| ![LOL](images/smilies/lol3.gif) That's awesome.
Which "Stig" was the one who Clarkson made fun of, by listening to cheesy music (prob. Air Supply) while test driving cars to its limit?

Maybe it's part of TG's plan to let the cat out of the bag so the black stig can return next season?

I don't think they will change the Stig this time around, they'll just keep pretending not to know his ID

Rumours have it that Ben Collins will be sacked and be replaced by a rainbow coloured stig. |

Everyone already kind of knew the Stig was Ben Collins since Richard Hammond's infamous crash back in 2006.

It's not like Ben Collins (or the true Stig) went out and said that. They can only speculate since this builder just happened to see an outfit similar to The Stig's. Not like when Perry McCarthy (black stig) wrote about being The Stig in his book.
