Is Ben Collins really the stig? There hasn't been any official statements by Jeremy or the boys yet.
I wonder if they'll off him and be replaced with say maybe a blue stig.

We knew this about 3 years ago ( or many people "in the trade" had strong suspicions )........nobody reported it or made anything of it because its alleged that the "Stigs" contract says that his contract will end if his identity was discovered and made public, the twats who write stories in the Daily Mail should be proud that they probably just cost Ben his job..............a big pitty as he is a lovely guy and work isn't exactly going to be easy to find atm !!!! Why don't the media think of the bigger picture sometimes ???????

If there is any truth in the rumour, then it looks as though 'Stig 3' is on the way...

My 7 year old son is a complete Top Gear fanatic, and the mystery surrounding The Stig is a fun part of that.
I won't tell him about this revelation!
