THE STIG REMOVES HIS HELMET!

[NismoZ]

Ben Collins, British F-3, sues the BBC to reveal his identity...so he can sell more books, I guess. So much for confidentiality agreements.

[opinionated ow]

Can't wait to see how they kill this stig off :rofl:

Edit: my twitter contribution: Some say he can't drive Mt Panorama & that he's worse at keeping secrets than an FBI spy, all we know is he's called Ben Collins. #stigfacts

[TrueBrit]

Not that it matters to me but the wanker signed a confidentiality agreement and I think he should have stuck to it..

:thumbup:

I guess he's not "old school" enough to keep his mouth shut and keep making money and having fun, and tell everybody later? But seriously, who didn't know this already?

[NismoZ]

Know what?:gomer:

[Fio1]

I think they actually fired him before season 14 (early 2010), when the rumor of his identity came out. The rumor came out because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. That's why he's coming out now with a book. Why else would he write a book and risk being sued if he was still working for BBC. If you look at season 14 episodes, they didn't have the Stig in every episode like in other seasons. This past season, series 15, the Stig was back. I think season 15 Stig is probably a new one.

Nah I reckon there will be a new coloured stig from next season complete with a killing off of the white stig.

[Easy]

YES!!!!!

Can't wait to tell my girlfriend I was right and have documented evidence.

Its the small things...

It will be hard to keep a stealth Stig under wraps after this. How about guest Stigs...Legge, Eddie Irvine :D, Patrese, Ol' Nige, Alesi.......Ralf :gomer:

[Pilgrims Drop]

Question is...

How will they off him??

I predict a Morris Marina and a lot of pianos... :D

Heck, I think I like the idea of Katherine Legge, too! :p

I dig the Stiggette idea as well. You should e-mail BBC. That's bad arse!

I can almost hear Clarkson reading that letter aloud to the crowd.... then letting them know that his own vote would be for Keira Knightley.

[grungex]

There was shock across the world today after a High Court ruling finally allowed popular Top Gear racing driver The Stig to reveal his identity.

‘I was frankly shocked,’ said one Top Gear fan outside the court room. ‘I had no idea it was… sorry, what’s his name?’

Other fans of the BBC motoring show were equally aghast at the news. ‘I couldn’t believe it!’ wrote one contributor to a Top Gear discussion forum. ‘To think all this time it was a bloke whose name I’ve only just been told but now can’t remember!’

However, some Top Gear viewers were less easily confused. ‘I knew all along it was Lewis Collins,’ said one ardent Top Gear enthusiast. ‘He was quite good at driving in The Professionals and his drumming with Genesis was great. No, wait, who were we talking about again? Bootsy Collins?’

Meanwhile, other fans were less certain. ‘It’s Pauline Collins out of Shirley Valentine?’ wrote one confused fan on a BBC message board. ‘God, that race suit really covered up how small and Liverpudlian she is. And that she’s almost 70 years old. Fair play to her.’

Despite the confusion, the thoughts of all Top Gear viewers seemed to be summed up by one anonymous contributor to a news discussion group. ‘The revelation about this Joan Collins person is amazing,’ they wrote. ‘I look forward to being able to buy a book all about someone I have never heard of and in whom I have literally no interest whatsoever.’

I think we need to expand on BarillGirl and Katherine for a little while longer...

[NismoZ]

Expanding here!:gomer:

Funny, that's what I was thinking about, too. : onetrackmind :

[cameraman]

I'll admit that the thought didn't spring to mind but now that you folks have mentioned it, it's quite the tenacious thought.

She must be doing something right. It's hard to find a photo of her out of the car. :thumbup:

Still can't get Surfers 2006 out of my mind. I reckon I was talking to her and her dad for 30 minutes at least. I fell in love right there and then :D

This just proves it...Katherine is sexy and smart, sophisticated and suave, talented and tenacious, friendly and feminine, and pretty and personable. She also drove a REAL race car. Danican't is none of those thing...I think the word Tramp comes to mind really.

I like the headline about a "100% female" team. Well, it is, but it sounds as if it took a lot of work to get there. :\

(Not that the gender matters.... or the nationality..... we just prefer to watch talent. If they're easy to watch, well then, they're easy to watch. But they still better drive hard and drive smart — and not be a JERK — or it doesn't matter how pretty they are.)

Why the gimmick? Is the ALMS morphing to the EARL?


If everyone knows who is Katherine Legge, with its seasons in the DTM car or overseas, Terri Leigh O'Connell turn is less known. Yet she has no less than 500 victories in motorsport, including 200 in Midgets, and appearances by NASCAR. She has also released his biography "Dangerous Curves" where she explains her change of sex: Terri O'Connell is in fact born Terryl J. Hayes

(it's a translation, so excuse the engrish)

Can't wait to see how they kill this stig off :rofl:

During the Top Gear season finale they unsuccessfully tried to kill him three times:
1. Decapitation
2. Explosion
3. Drowning

Not even the courts could stop this Stig. Maybe they could deport him to Switzerland?

Funny!

Saw this T-shirt at RA at ALMS-

http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/72000181/images/7/AP_TSHRT_TGSTIGNUR.jpg

On back of the T-shirt is a classic line from the show by Jeremy... 'SOME SAY ... THE OUTLINE OF HIS LEFT NIPPLE IS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME SHAPE AT THE NURBURGRING'

In typical Top Gear humour, the label on the inside of the T-Shirt reads 'These T-Shirts were tested on animals. They didn't fit'
