Nooooooo!

 

Who ?

 

I thought it had been public knowledge he was a Stig since he was
named in Hamster's accident report.

 

Hislop.

 

How ?

 

Eaten by a crocodile.

"On Sunday, however, a newspaper outed Collins, 33, after following up a
story in a Bristol newspaper about a man commissioning a photographic
studio in the city to produce limited edition prints of the character. "

Wankers. Not that big a deal, but ffs it was supposed to be a jokey
secret. Wtf do cunts have to spoil things for a bit of personal gain.
The **** of a photographer couldn't wait to run off to the local rag
with his wee story and the rag couldn't wait to print it, the tossers.

 

It's been an open secret in the motor journalism game for ages. The big
papers have all played along and kept his ID a secret to keep the joke
with the public going. It was some small-time piece of shit local rag
that spilt the beans in an attempt to look big and have some kind of
scoop story.

I see a bright new future, where chickens can cross the road with no
fear of having their motives questioned

 

I'm sure I saw somewhere that he's off to race in the US, so perhaps
it's out because he's no longer going to be a Stig.

 

He shouldn't have smiled

I hope so. He gets to do some cool stuff, and TG get to have some fun
entertaining us by finding a way to kill the current Stig. Then he gets
to do a Doctor Who and regenerate.

Everyone's a winner.

Indeed.

I still think the muliple Stig theory is most likely.

 

I was told a while ago by a chap who works pretty closely to Ben Collins
that his stint as the Stig was finishing at the end of the last series.
Partly because too many people knew it was him, partly because he
wasn't that subtle about it.

As for new Stig's overalls, I reckon a dodgy 70's style race suit would
be ideal.

"Wait! We can't stop here, this is Bat Country"

 

In a truly infinite universe, there would be an infinite number of Stigs.
