So apparently earning 5-10 thousand pounds and driving exotic cars is not enough for a tame racing driver. Apparently spoiled by greed and inability to capitalize on his fame as "the stig" said driver decided to write some sort of autobiography and after a major lawsuit BBC was unable to preserve anonymity of the character. Naturally according to the contract once Stig's identity is revealed and or leaked, he or she or it will be replaced with a new Stig.
So my hat is off to white stig for being a good sport before greed got to him. Next season is around the corner and according to BBC character will be making a return opening speculation for who might possibly be the new Stig. -------------------- Captain Pessimist

Remember how they killed the black Stig at the end of season two, I believe? I hope they do the same thing to him, but except they really let that guy drown this time.
In other news...I bet my life's worth that the next Stig will either be red or silver. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Sep 2, 2010 - 4:45 PM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

i really liked the white stig.
but stigs time on top gear has come to an end. His fasted lap time was beat by an f1 driver. So i would assume it would not be bad timing to get an even faster driver in there in place of the stig. |

Either you are being silly or you have spent last 20 years in the dark under a rock covered by a blue tarp. Top gear is only the most watched show in the world about cars. Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond and of course the Stig.
If you have not watched that show.. drop everything that you are doing and order every single episode 2003+ on netflix. you will not be disappointed. -------------------- Captain Pessimist

Netflix? Screw that. There are torrent packs with every season available in one download. x2 on the tarp comment though...let me add to it that said tarp was probably covered by a rock, and said rock-covered tarp was situated underwater.

When they run out of colors and eventually have Translucent Stig, then you know it is going to be a Predator and not a human.

This is the same thing that happened with the first Stig, Perry McCarthy. He was found out, then confirmed it in an autobiography. The black Stig was promptly "killed off."
Undoubtedly, this will be what happens to the current Stig, Ben Collins. Granted, probably a couple people have put on the white suit for different stunts, etc. Maybe they'll go back to using black, or British racing green.

in all fairness the stig's reasons are sound.
all the other 3 cast members have made millions of pounds supposedly. 100k-200k vs 1million+. |
