Tim S Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 So its today been confirmed that The Stig is Ben Collins from Bristol. Just wondering if he is a City or Rovers fan (if a football fan at all!) meaning that potentially we could have The Stig as our newest celebrity fan!!! I know this is a nothing topic really, but come on - its been a slow day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalonred Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I don't think he'll be the Stig for much longer I'm afraid....... Black Stig went pretty quick once it was found out who he was..... I think Ben's pretty much commited Top Gear suicide by 'outing' himself in his book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 True and everyone will be saying who's Ben Collins in 6 months while there will be another stig that everyone likes. What a tool - all to sell a book that I cant Imagen many people actually being that interested in now that he wont be the stig. Quite right.. i mean what are the chapters gonna be about?.. Chapter 1 - Clarkson Chapter 2 - That short bloke Chapter 3 - that sensible bloke Chapter 4 - reasonably priced car Chapter 5 - fastest lap Chapter 6 - slowest lap Chapter 7 - i doubt people have bothered reading this far so sod it.. off for a pint. I can see it being the most unwanted Christmas gift for a generation. the next stig should be a girl and they should call her 'The Stiga'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 the next stig should be a girl and they should call her 'The Stiga'. ... a mother, perhaps, with marks on her hands and feet; she could be 'Stigmata' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Planet Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 He lives in Redland and drinks in the Cambridge Arms on Coldharbour Lane. Are you serious ? That's my local boozer. Never seen him in there myself. Mind you, until yesterday, I never knew what he looked like ! BUT, this may be relevant. I DID see Richard Hammond in there about three months ago.

Barrs Court Red Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Could well be an interesting read. Ex SAS, stunt driver ect. Will be interesting if there's much about behind the scenes from Top Gear as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one will be asking for this book as a christmas gift, as are plenty of my mates who a Top Gear fanatics. Don't agree with him making the book in the first place, and yes he should have kept it a secret, but now its all out in the open might as well buy the book and see what it was like being the STIG..... I'm looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
