and the stig is.......

[Nosha123]

why do they have to go and spoil it for everyone and announce who the Stig is??

Surely this guy is also now out of a job - as they'll recruit a new one...

spoilsorts eh!

I reckon they should have been told to keep quiet!!

[ummmm]

We all knew that anyway...

[squarebear]

Not quite sure what the fuss was about. Surely anyone who had an interest already knew he was called Ben Collins.

[Nosha123]

I know.. but it still kind of spoils it now that its confirmed....

I mean I know Santa isnt real - but I still hope he'll pop down my chimney ;-)

[Nosha123]

I bet they get a new one now.. then that'll whip up even more interest as people try to find out who he is this time round!

No such thing as bad press eh!!!

[Pinkypie]

Do you know what? I'm actually thinking this has been a bit of a publicity stunt! People will buy the book £££££££ and more will tune in to Top Gear for new Stig and backlash £££££££

My opinion!

[ummmm]

What colour will the new stig be????

[Answerprancer]

It's been suspected for ages that he was Ben Collins.
I thought he was Stig Blomqvist.

[Nosha123]

maybe we should get a pink stig next.. a GIRL!!!

[jno]

"they" didn't announce it, he did. They tried to stop him.

[ABerrant]

I vote Sabine Schmitz for Pink Stig!

[Goodsoulette]

Doesnt she present German Top gear anyway?

I dont care, I like the programme its a good bit of family entertainment and I do have a bit of a crush on captain slow but knowing who the stig is wont spoil it for me,

[cazzz1975]

I would have thought people would have been upset that the stig was not a higher profiled racing driver, they will get a new one like they did before.

[BertiWooster]

Complete waste of the licence fee , in the first instance
Further - Surely the novelty aspect ( to some people ) of who the next stig will be , has now worn off .

No 1 stig - ( curious to some people )
no 2 stig - yawn
no 3 stig ? - zzzzzzzzzz .

[cazzz1975]

yep berti, chances are it will be some unknown formula 3 driver.

[Answerprancer]

Hmm, a female stig - so long as she's not Vikki Butler (Lamborghini MERCY-ELLIGO) bleedin Henderson !

[mushroom25]

and the Stig is........

TONY BLAIR!!

surely co-incidence they've both got books in the news - they've got to be one and the same?
