Good reading, but the question still remains, who is the new stig?

Great find. Always wondered. Of course, some of the stigma is now lost.

You ought to read Perry McCarthys book 'Flat out, Flat broke'.

Quite funny, even though he has had some real bad luck in his racing career.

Its even got him dressed up as The Stig on the front cover.

I know it was a long running joke. Even when Damon Hill came on the programme to drive the reasonably priced car he wore a top with I'm not the stig on it.

There's no doubt his time in the car was terrible and would put anyone off the his track if he was really the Stig.

All the rumours are that it is Ben Collins.

Would make sense : He's not exactly been very active recently (plenty of time on his hands)
So he will be cheap!! It is the BBC after all.

Is this not the Guy that is in the Sky One car show called 'Vroom Vroom'?

I would doubt that he would be in both programmes and anyway he looks to be of a bigger build than the Stig.

Is my face red ? :blush:


Yes, you are completely correct.
Vroom vroom happened to be on last night (1st time seen it) and there was Ben Collins - so that rules him out.

I was right about him being cheap though if he has got to lower himself to appear on a programme like that - not exactly Top Gear / 5th Gear is it. :confused:
