Some say he is illegal in 17 U.S. states….but he really is??

It almost pains me to write this but the Stig’s idenetiy, from my favorite automotive show Top Gear, is no longer a secret. It turns out there has been a nasty little court battle going on between a man who claims to have been the stig for the last 7 years and the BBC who is fighting to protect the identity of their “tame racing driver”. If you wish to continue to live your life not know his identity then DO NOT hit the jump on this one.


Ben Collins, that is who is claiming to be the man behind the mask. He has written a book chronicling his 7 years as the Stig on Top Gear. His lawyers from HarperCollins said the BBC has been refused an injunction stopping the publication of the book.

There has been one previous man who claims to have been the Stig, Perry McCarthy. He supposedly left the show in 2003 after his identity was revealed.

For me personally I until I see him sleep upside down like a bat and use his tears for adhesive I refuse to believe it.
