Old news man... This came out about 12 months ago when it was leaked to the British press... It was a poorly kept secret anyway.

A Stig is Ben Collins.

I prefer the black Stig anyway

[PhillipAudiDealer]

So is Ben Collins UK Topgear Stig or Aussie TopGear Stig??

[Inception.dln]

Ben Collins is the UK Stig

[Blitzen]

So is Ben Collins UK Topgear Stig or Aussie TopGear Stig??

Apparently, the Aussie Stig is done by both Neil and Rick Bates... A mate of mine saw them in the white racing suits when they were were filming the Aussie Top Gear last year...

First I've heard that Neil Bates was an Aussie Stig. Rick Bates was an easy pick. There is a third Aussie Stig, though.

Ben collins has been sacked by BBC apparently, I'd link but I'm on my phone, google stig.

yeah he has been. they can't keep the stig when everyone knows who he is. he's not suppose to be anyone, he's a thing!
in Drive they said that steve pizatti (in the crappy aussie version of top gear) was thinking bout it. he wouldn't even be in the top 100.

Aussie stig is John Bowe. (That didnt come from me...)

Been watching re-runs of Top Gear on Austar/Foxtel
A while back, the Stig was shown doing a high dive from top of aircraft carrier
A later show paid tribute to some of his prowess.
Am I being cynical, eg, method used by BBC to say goodby? Or was it a case
of a stunt too far?

It was just a way of farewelling the old, black, Stig who had outed himself as Perry McCarthy, F1 driver (just).

[Buller_Scott]

is it just me, or did TGUK recently divulge the stig as being Michael Schumacher?

Yes they did but we all know it was more of a joke and mostly because of the Ferrari FXX which Ferrari would only allow certain people to drive.

im gullible
