So the STIG has finally been revealed... and due to breaching his contract, has been dumped by the BBC
http://www.news.com.au/entertainment...-1225913082891
http://www.news.com.au/entertainment...-1225913213320

I love the humour surrounding the stig, and now its sort of ruined. It was mysterious before, with non human characteristics

BUT imagine being this guy.. for the last five years or so he has been "the stig"
Fans adore him all over the world, people have speculated for ages wondering who this man is
Being the STIG is a dream job for most, and he has been unable to tell anyone that he is the stig
its like having a super power ha ha

I wonder how Clarkson will address this whole debacle when Top Gear come back on the air next year for the rest of the season. That last Stig they got rid of was "killed of" in rather spectacular fashion as you might remember :lol:.

And yeah even though we all pretty much knew who it was for a while now, having it confirmed for sure now does kinda suck.

Ha quality. Read an article today discussing a Clarkeson interview about the whole thing. Apparently he's really disappointed by the whole thing. Seemed to be a distant image ofnhis confident portrayal on Top Gear.

Saw this a few days ago, the pink gay Stig made me LOL!

Anyone ever thought that its still going to be Ben Collins and that this is all just to try and remask the mystery again? Its a win win situation for all involved really when you think about it. Ben Collins publishes his book, Top Gear gets a "new" Stig and the mystery of who it is now is returned. Oh and there was a heap of publicity around the whole thing, so thats always a bonus for ratings, merchandise, publicity etc etc. The "new" Stig is still Ben Collins, i say! ;)
