I think he may be right, they are racing from london to edinburgh tonight. Jeremy in a steam train, Richard must have the car and james will be flying. If its not Ben Collins then they havent revealed him. Would be good for him to come out but I reckon they will be replacing him if they do show him.

The same way no doubt, they can pay Jonathon Ross that extortionate amount of money

One of the main headlines on the BBC today is all about this, whether it was true or not Big Grin

A media stunt to get more viewers in my mind....

Surely nobody fell for it ??
A fantastic piece of telly all the same.

White Stig is Ben Collins. He was once featured on TG as himself as the driver of a merc convertible that a sky diver was trying to land in whilst Ben drove along the track. Ben has 'come out' though as the Stig so we may be getting a new one soon?

Black Stig was Perry McCarthy.

My stomach muscles are still sore from all the laughter.

From stig photocopying his head to when the Volvo rolled off into the Summer House, but I howled with Laughter when James drove up the drive way and they turned on his Stereo. The neighbours must think I am a nutter........

... Er hang on they already do Angel
