I love the idea of James challenging the Stig to a duel over this (boo.fm) and watching him "run the scurvy blackguard through the midden."
I'd pay to watch!

It just did, straight away. It's very short, though. Don't know why it's not working for you.

Since Ben has got his way as a spoiled child would, perhaps the BBC should hire Sir Alan Sugar to appear on the next Top Gear episode to fire Ben. Hmmm...

I'm not sure what he hopes to achieve from this. I mean, out of work from the BBC now, and who would trust him? I'm sure his book will sell by the bucket load (£1 a copy in the bargain basement bin with any luck). Perhaps now is the time for the return of...... The Black Stig.   |

The words foot- shot-himslelf-in spring to mind, he's made no friends in doing this and will probably now lose more money than he could have made continuing to be the stig until TG finally ends  I won't be buying it either |

You're right, he really has shot himself in the foot... but it's his fault, I have no sympathy for him! I'm definitely not buying it... |

I thought it had been an open secret for ages that Ben Collins was/is the Stig. Surely I can't be the only one who wasn't remotely surprised when his name was first mentioned on the news coverage? |

Not remotely, no. Surprised that he would throw away a lucrative career though.

Well I have woken up on the other side of the world to the "shocking" news this morning. You know what, I bet he's got some good stories to tell so the book would probably be worth a read.

Well it'll be interesting to see if this backfires on him. He's obviously decided that he's had enough of Top Gear because he knows as soon as he's outed, he out of the show!
I wonder what colour the next Stig will be???

Then they are better, more respectful ways to do this. I think it's very unproffesional of him and I personally am fully on Andy's & co. side and will definitely not be buying this book  rant over ;D  |

Don't think i'm gonna buy the book  The Stig's supposed to be a man of mystery... but now he's just a bloke called Ben and yes, lets have a pink Stig! |

It's a bit stupid as they're going to have to replace him now I expect...seen as it's not really a mystery anymore  |

Not too suprised since he's lost an awful lot of respect from his former collegues and some of the public Bring back Black Stig and get him to kill of White Stig! ;D |

I reckon the next Stig ought to be dressed in green. A 'Green Stig' to appease the environmentalists! ;D Maybe with a few little flowers on his overalls as well, to show just how environmentally friendly he is! ;D |
