Top Gear Stig in Legal Battle

**Chewy** · 24-08-10, 01:59 PM

Well, we previous had a post on a fake report on who the "Stig" was Fake Stig.

Now Harper Collins is trying to publish a book on who the real Stig is and the BBC have taken them to court saying they are breaching confidentiality.

Take a look here at the news report BBC News - Top Gear Stig legal wrangle goes to court

To be honest, I think that I'd rather not know it's nice to keep guessing. It's more fun suggesting who Stig might be.

What do you think? Do you think the BBC should tell us all who the Stig is or do you like the suspense and mystery?

Well alot of people know who the Stig is already, even though they try to keep it secret......the BBC would probably deny it, but I have seen it mentioned numerous times as to who it is, and the same name always crops up. Not going to say here though unless someone asks me to.

OKay Stevvy ... I'm asking lolol - it's not Schumacher, Ben Collins or Perry McCarthy (who was the first Stig - Dressed in Black) :P

Actually Chewy, for months, years even, everyone has said it's Ben Collins.

It's also been reported that Ben Collins has played the Stig - but also Shumacher and others - Stig varies in height from show to show, so I personally think (and from reading lots of other info on the Stig) he/she is not just one person - but different ones - Thus the BBC can't really then identify the real Stig as it is one of many.

Let the mystery go on - keeps everyone talking about Top Gear and The Stig :)

Personally, I have no idea who Stig is and to be honest, I don't really want to know.

It was in the Sunday papers that it was in fact Ben Collins. Not sure if that is true or not

As has been widely reported for quite a while now, and as alot of people have known for quite a while without it being made public, it now has. The Stig is indeed Ben Collins. Expect a new Stig for the next series then.
