The current court case concerning top gear's "stig" has me interested.
If anyone knows who he is could you pm me?
I'm The Stig
What intrigues me is who cares. Top Gear is puerile British laddishness at its worst. I happened to be forced to watch it one night when the 3 stoogies were going camping to Cornwall in home made camper vans. The laugh was that they were trying to make it all look spontaneous. Worst TV I've ever seen
I'm the Stig

I agree. A vehicle is for getting me from A to B. I dont need a pussy magnet, and never had any complaints from the lassies, unlike the rest of you guys.
Good man Orior. Truer words were never spoken. A man after me own heart. I bet you don't drink pretentious poncie beers either and if you played football you'd wear black boots.
A car
Don't watch the show but i like mysteries, god help me.
I'd like to associate myself with the views expressed by Dougal and Orior.
"Puerile British laddishness at its worst" is the perfect description.
ive never given the show a chance, such is my hatred for jeremy clarkson; and i dont hate that many people....

Yeah absolutely hate the programme, hate the 3 gimps on it especially Clarkson and hate people who come into work on Monday morning raving about it.

Very well said Dougal. I was thinking recently while watching James Corden present his own show, how difficult it is to believe that Britain once ruled half the earth.
The BBC have lost the court case and The Stig has indeed been revealed to be former F3 driver Ben Collins.
James May was interviewed afterwards, stating "Obviously I'm now going to have to take some legal action of my own, because I have been the Stig for the past seven years, and I don't know who this bloke is, who's mincing around in the High Court pretending it's him."
What intrigues me is people who admit to hating a show, come on to a thread to give off to people who like the show and take it off the topic off the title on the thread. Why go to such a bother to have a moan.

I like the parts were they actually concentrate on the cars. The Last of the Summer Wine nonsense they get up to is pure shite. Ooops I was cooking sausages and the caravan is on fire...ooops I've left the handbrake off and the car has rolled over the cliff... ???
I hate the bits where they concertrate on the cars. I think Top Gear is first class enterainment. I enjoy their trips most of all. I see this a very short term victory for (former toruning car champion, Ben Collins) He may have won the right to write a book but he has blown a job which was his for the duration of the Top Gear Brand. Long Live the Stig!!!!

Remember the Black Stig? He reveal who he was in a book, so they killed him off and replaced him with the White Stig.
There has always been more than one Stig.

Not what I mean. Even though Collins is White Stig, other drivers fill in when he is unavailable because of race commitments. Its quite noticeable at times.

Something for everyone then. The races are good too if you ignore the fact that the endings are fake too.
Some of the stuff they have done has been top notch TV, some of it purile British lad culture clap trap. The trip through Vietnam on Mopeds, the one that started in the Amazon and ended on the coast of Chile and the trip to the North Pole - all great entertainment.
I couldn't give a fiddles who the dressed up man is and how fast he can drive any car
I've watched this a couple of times over the years but never saw this Stig. What episode was he in?

Episode 85. clarkson was in it too. i dont like him
;D
Looks like the Stig has become 'Stig of the Dump'.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/sep/07/jeremy-clarkson-stig-sacked
Top Gear co-host Jeremy Clarkson has said that the man who plays the Stig is "sacked" and admitted he was "hurt" that Ben Collins decided to unmask himself as the show's anonymous white-suited driver.
Clarkson said that "Top Gear is damaged but not out", adding that he has spent the last three weeks "doing nothing but work out what to do instead", after it emerged that Collins was planning to out himself as the Stig in his autobiography.
