Top Gear's Stig Revealed

BLADDER_MASTER

is no more
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!

What difference does it make. They will just clone another one and program its brain with the Stig Master Command Code
 
nooooooooooooooooooo...............................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
↑ but yeah I agree. I have fond memories of white stig :(

F' it! Whats your favorite white stig moment? :threadjac

There's so many....but mine would be....

-When the crew builds a bmw 3 series with basically only bolt ons and decides to go racing on a budget against prepped 911s, M3s, and Astons on an endurance race. None of them have track experience before, and things are looking pretty bad. They are losing. Bad.
And in the darkest hour Clarkson announces they have an ace up their sleeve, and none other than the Stig shows up as the 4th driver. In his hands, the little 3 series starts kicking some ass and they make a comeback that saves them from absolute failure. All because of the Stig :D

(bladder plz dont ban me for threadjacking just letm e know if you want this on another thread)
 
even the producers of the show have said that there is more than one stig... even in one of their earlier episodes, you can see some black hair, emerging from the back of the Stig's helmet.
 
Well we know for sure there was a fat stig for the US episode. So who knows what's really going on.
