      That is still a bunch of hear say a rumor I believe.

      The story I recall outting Collins was that there was a contractor doing some work at his house and saw a White racing suit and gloves hanging in a closet. If there was ever any kind of official confirmation I never saw it.

      Remember when Perry McCarthy, outted him self as the black stig????? And the promptly was killed off by driving a Jag with 200 shot of NO2 of the deck of a British aircraft carrier HMS Invincible ???


      Shortly after this thing with Collins hit the news this poped up

                  Holy shits. Danny is a big boi now. What's r3v going to do now that tomfoolery #1 is part of the Mod squad?

                  And this is just another publicity stunt. The media can throw so many ups and downs into circulation that even when the truth is out, most won't believe it.

                          I heard about it within a day or so if it happening, had to wait forever for it to come out. To funny the drag race in to the canal, I have actually seen a car end up in there during a race.

The opaque visor of one of Britain's most famous helmets has been lifted. The identity of The Stig, the always-anonymous test driver on 'Top Gear,' the wildly popular British television show about cars, has long been kept secret. The BBC had asked Britain's High Court for an injunction blocking the publication of an autobiography revealing The Stig's identity. But lawyers for publishers HarperCollins said Wednesday it was not granted. The publishers said in a statement that 'Ben Collins has a great story to tell about his seven years as The Stig.' … Read more ยป

                                just read the article. I would have preferred to not know who he is. Anyways, its probably not even Ben Collins. Just a publicity stunt. The Stig remains unknown IMO
