Who do you reckon is the new Stig? How long do you think he'll last?

Ben Collins, I was reading, took the thing really seriously. Seems he'd turn up for work with a balaclava on, not wanting even the production team to know who he was. I can't imagine anyone else going to the lengths he went to.

Wow... you just know everything about everything Leg... is there a subject you can't speak on? :blink:

I've never heard of this guy, and you're right he's got an impressive record there.

Forget Stig awesomeness... we need a Leg awesomeness thread... :th:

lol I'm not so great at maths.

But yeah Stig rocks, I saw him when he was driving his little Skoda (mid-late 90's) I used to really enjoy rallying.


Edit: This is the little car, I even helped push it back on track with some of the other crowd when he got it stuck once at Chatsworth

I've got some pictures of Stig somewhere from when I used to follow the Lombard RAC rally about.

That's interesting... and would be the sort of thing you could imagine him doing considering the lengths he went to previously.

This said, another channel is said to be knocking together a car program featuring him as the presenter... that said, even that would be a good cover for him if he was the new Stig... :unsure:
