  • The new Stig is better than this Ben 'so called' Collins

  • Damn! I'll take $70,000 a year to drive the fastest and most exotic cars in the world. Let's see now, what else do I have to do in order to earn that much? I have to hang out with celebrities during my working day?! Gee . . . okay!

    Wait! Do I have to pay you $70,000 a year or are you paying me? Really, you're paying ME?! Hell yeah!! Where do I sign. I'm going to sign on the dotted line before you change your mind!

  • Unreal world!

    He made no money from a show that has 50 million viewers. And consider that the character he's played has become an icon because of his driving style. Think how much he would've wanted to be known for something at least. He's a down to earth, nice guy.

    And yea 70k is a lot, but he's a racing driver and racing cars et al is expensive shit!

    Get over it and have a fucking heart!

    Jezza, Slow and Hamster are awesome. Get a new stig.

    And we'll all go back to not knowing who he is.

  • Fake

  • 70k a year to drive fast cars round a track and meet celebs some people only dream of meeting!!!

    Think there are plenty of people who would love that job, but greed takes over again.

  • A show with 1.5 billion dollar in reveune and if it is true that they only paid Stig 70K year, shame on them. He was the main attraction of the show.

  • @fctsui57 i think the cars, the challenges, James May, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson were all more of attractions than the stig

  • some people just wunna ruin everything for a bit of lose change, the stig is and always will be a legend, shame this people had to come out and smear that.

  • The same happened with Perry McCarthy. The show's still there.

  • who cares if he's good or bad. He was still The Stig.

  • He was good friend with Jeremy and probably with Hammond and May and while he was coming to Jeremy's house he was writing his stupid book! He is a fucking cocksucker!

  • he is not The Stig... well, not anymore that is.

  • What a complete idiot. And Top Gear goes on.

  • hes 35 shit and i look like 25 wow well thats what people say

  • Almost like Greg Brady fitting the "suit".

  • some say he is ben collins and that he likes to tell secrets all we know is that he is a complete cock

  • we had a shoot with Ben today and honestly he is a really nice guy!!

  • Fuck you BEN COLLINS

  • i knew it was this prick years ago my friend who works with him told me. he went round bragging it to his racing friends. also met a guy who produced concept cars for aston martin and he also says he was a prick

  • FUCK BEN COLLINS

  • Cloo it was only about 50k a year

  • HE only freakin earned 70k a year while others earned millions!!! he was treaed unfairly!! get over it people!!

  • @clooneygirl07 ..... Only 70k a year? Only?! For couching celebrities how to drive once a week and test the best and most expensive cars. I don’t know where you come from but 70k a year is a lot of money for that.

  • @clooneygirl07

    70k for booting top motors round a track sounds like easy money, some people have to work to get that.

  • @davh1231 yeah clooneygirl07 is livin with the fairies up in the clounds.

  • In the last Top Gear episode, he appears as ex-Stig.

  • BEN COLLINS = the idiot who thought he could be bigger than himself.

  • @juncedan he will always be bigger than you

  • @glicher100 Says the only one on this thread to support the dickhead who decided to kill his golden egged goose. It must feel pretty "small" out there

  • @juncedan it dosent feel "small out there" because its a tv show and i really dont care

  • @glicher100 Likewise here. No hard feelings.

  • He's obviously not the Stig. None of the things some say about him fit Ben Collins!

  • @EarWax0 he actually worked a lot, and had many problems between his professional career as a pro driver and the stig; even most of the times he helped the presenters do the shit you see on TV, you just dont see him. As if the presenters actually did shit for the show, they're only the part you see, there's much more behind that.

  • The comments here are atrocious. Ben Collins is a human being who deserves to take credit for all he's done. To shit on him because he was tired of playing that role is childish and selfish. He has a family to feed and Clarkson & Co didn't give a rats ass about him, even as he risked his life to make that show what it is. Clarkson is a great, bloated money hog and he's got a sore ass because his pet kicking cushion has left. Waaa

  • @Christheatheist1 Yeah well, Monkeys crossed with sheep will follow each other especially in the bad ways =P

    Evidence for this is just reading some of the comments, how alike they are, dumb.

    Ben Collins is a cool guy and one heck of a driver, I didn't know how much he was payed a year but sounds a bit unfair for doing ALL those lap times on the board.

    Anyway I think it's a shame he wanted to go public, in my opinion I think it's much more cool not knowing who the stig is, doesn't matter now.

  • @Johny40Se7en -Agreed!

  • @Christheatheist1 Not only that but Jezza , Hampster and May have also made a hell of a lot more money by exploiting their personalities on other ventures. All that has come about due to the success of Top Gear of which Ben has contributed to. But he hasn't been able to exploit his personality as the Stig. The tree main hosts have made millions and continue to make millions, but Ben was give a tiny salary by comparison.

  • @Christheatheist1 FUCK YOU!!!

  • hero to zero nuff said

  • Ben Collins is a fast driver and he was a great part of Top Gear, he deserved a raise, by God they could afford it. But more importantly he was a great teacher who actually received constant praise from the ppl he helped to learn how to drive a shite car fast. I hope the new Stig is as good, the number of asses who can drive fast are huge the number who can teach others to drive fast is pretty damn small.

  • Good for him. No he's a nobody.

  • Why did the bbc pay the stig 70k a year and the other three millions?

  • @bigglego : Because he only drove cars?... pretty fair to be honest. The 'other three' write, drive & present... so... ???

  • @bigglego Clarkson is the one who nets over million quid a season hammond makes only a third and may stated in an interview that he only gets around 20k for an episode of top gear, altough Hammond and May get extra for their various xtra projects and ads but it's mainly clarkson who takes the money since he's the brains behind it

  • The BBC are idiots for not giving him more $ to keep him quite. How the hell do people blame an actor/driver for ruining a show which would rather loose him than pay him more money??? That's insane! He's not a serf or slave people, he's an actor and after this many seasons it is reasonable for him to want more publicity and money. If the BBC didn't want the book to be published they should have paid him more.

  • I am really disappointed in Ben Collins. As mentioned in the report, Top Gear Fans rather enjoyed the mystery of not knowing the identity of the Stig. He ruined a huge part of the show just to be in the spotlight for about a day. Shame, shame, shame!!!

  • Good news presentation.

  • Also...What will they do with the lap times? Now that BEN is not doing the hot laps...another driver on the mix doesn't put up the same times on the same track! Again, I reiterate (big word for Top Gear fans) The USA 3 young idiots are going the suck on Top Gear USA but, perhaps I will give them a shot. Noticed they put a USA Muscle car on top of the advert (on the 4 cars) Yes we are all fat beer drinkers and dullards! Well a large majority are. (comes with bring an old and world beater 4 so ma

  • This is the best show on television, (not tele) not for the cars, they are an added bonus. Thank god they got rid of the fat guy (forgot his name---unfunny) and added James.(AKA Captain Slow). This show is not about car reviews...it's about ridiculousness!!!! Great Television. I have seen ever episode. Top Gear Premiers in the USA (not America) on Sunday Nov. 21...It is going to SUCK! The 3 of them make the show!

  • the stig unmasked himself because he was sick of the others get millions

  • Great show ruined I hope you're happy BEN.

  • Great show ruined, hopefully the next Stig wil be better.

  • let hope that top gear find a better stig

  • some say the stig raped ben collins and wears him as a suite true

  • Some people say, that when the Boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks under his bed for the Stig.... Collins and the BBC could have handled this situation much better. A lot of unnecesary fuss, that won't have hurt his book sales.

  • hate harpercollins for being such bitches about trying to reveal the stig and taking shit to court

    fuck them

  • Why nobody said anything bad when Michael Schumacher took off the helmet? When Michael does it, and supposedly breaks the mystery, nobody complains, but when some unknown racing driver does it, he's immediately enemy, idiot, traitor, etc..? Wtf? We all knew it was SOMEBODY, it's just that most of you were fanboys of Michael, Damon Hill, Lewis, or whatever.. and now you're just all jealous that some unknown touring car driver has beaten all of them with a shitty Suzuki Liana. :)

  • @druids84 I think the reason no one said anything bad to Michael Schumacher taking off the helmet is because you could tell it was a hoax whereas this is the real thing. I liked the mystery. It sucks it is no more.

  • @druids84 The reason nobody said anything bad towards Schumacher is because it was immediately revealed that it was a joke. He took the helmet off and by the end of the show everyone already knew it wasnt real. If it really HAD been Schumacher, then im sure a lot of people would have been upset.

  • @Vandal3211 and Guy9998,everyone who was ignorant/stupid enough not to know that Stig was Ben Collins after Hammond crash and investigation report in 2006, and everything published about Ben in 2009 in papers, is also stupid enough to still believe that Schumacher really is The Stig. If the mystery is so sacred, taking of the white helmet is blasphemy/sacrilege anyway, joke or not. If BBC would have kept low, nobody would take Ben seriously or read his book, but they had to take it public..

  • @druids84 i bet u didnt watch the whole episode of michael shumacher taking off the helmet.

  • @zonnub so micheal shumacher is not the stig, why did he unmask in that show then?

  • some say who the hell is ben collins? all we know is hes not as fast as rubens barrachello and hes a massive douche

  • Comment removed

  • Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear series producer Andy Wilman are credited with creating The Stig. Both attended Repton School in Derbyshire where new pupils were always referred to as 'Stig'. The name was thought more appropriate than 'The Gimp' which was originally suggested. !!

  • do we get a new stig

  • @krugerfuchs either that or Top Gear gets cancelled.

  • I'm an American and i LOVE the BBC version of Top Gear (and have NO interest in watching the American version) But I have a question.

    Does "Stig" mean anything?

  • LOL LMAO i still cant belive all those IDIOTS who commented below actually believe this is true!

  • yea nice try. ass hole.. COMPLETE fake video :P.. nice editing btw...

    reporter looks funny.. so where'd u do it?? in ur mom's basement??..

  • Someone is gettin fired

  • @GuitarProtegy227 Yeah they've already sacked him

  • LONG LIVE THE STIG

  • OMGGG HE HAS A FACE ,EARS,A NOSE AND ALL THE OTHER THIMGS A HUMAN HAS

  • Great so now he's sacked himself how the hell's he going to make money now then?

  • @moose875

    heh maybe with his book?

  • @MisterGasMan And after it stops selling??

  • @directorkong98 They are definately going to kill off the White Stig as well now, at least I think so. Who knows who might be next in line for the role.

  • Ben Collins you are an IDIOT you have ruined Top Gear the best motorsport show and I hope your book doesn't sell!

  • @martyn79500 no it does not matter there have been other american stig ,, black stig ,,, african stig ,,, now its time for red stig ,,, or blue stig ,,, dont worry it wont change a thing

  • @martyn79500 if you brag enough, I will also reveal who was the fat American Stig, African Stig, Communist Stig, etc.. :D And I will publish a book about all my incredible adventures as the Santa Claus! :D :p No balaclava, but a lot of eating and going to work in white artificial beard, also had to keep it secret from every kid in the block! I bet everyone who reads this kills himself because Christmas are ruined from now on! :D :p

  • @martyn79500 stupid dumbass. 7 years of eating alone of keeping distance of all his friends and shit. You think its fucking fun? I totaly understand him. and his book is genious.

  • @CantCreat aren't you intelligent enough not to use swear words in all of your setences?

  • @martyn79500 who knows. they could bring in a new person and nobody would be the wiser. Unless the body size was noticeably larger or smaller. (or if the body had boobs)

  • @timsk well they already did, they found him in Jerusalem and my is he groing fast!

  • @martyn79500 top gear will get a new stig, a silent one this time i hope

  • @martyn79500 why? reply plz

  • @martyn79500 bell collins rules fuck the bbc!

  • @directorkong98 James May said they're viciously killing the Stig off in Season 16, but I agree. White Stig has been around for so long. Good job Ben Collins, ya douche.

  • what about schumacher?? :S:S:S

  • Some say that he wrote a autobiography , but how could he , he cant spell , in mors code maybe all we knew he used to be called the stig and now everyone is demanding a stick up stigs ass

  • @MrGoldenmarin

    I have also been thinking about a new 'some say' for last 10 mins

  • @saadxt some say he was the key for england to win the world cup but capello thought james milner was faster than him and walcott together , we know now he was wrong and we know hes called the stig : )

  • @MrGoldenmarin criticizing someone for their spelling and writing 'mors' code in the same sentence is pretty moronic...is Morse Code...

  • @MrGoldenmarin

    You are the person who can not spell. Ben's book is extremely well written, but you might want to wait until the comic book comes out.

  • u fuckers u cnt reveal the stig u shudnt hv lf ent no fn now

  • some say that he is affraid of ducks and that is name is ben collins all know is he called the STIG

  • Some say he was only in it for the money.....all we know is his name is Ben Collins.

  • RIP White Stig... when is "it" gonna be replaced? how will look like the new Stig? will there ever be another Stig like the white Stig??...

  • Why on Earth has the BBC been forced to reveal the actor to a fictional character that has been formed by the mystery.

  • the stig revealed!! what a dam shame!

    To all those who couldnt wait to find out>>i hope they are happy and shame on them!

  • Sucks to ben collins, as the stig he was cool. now he's just a money hungry ass clown. I hope no-one buy's his book. What a fun ruiner.

  • I don't want to read a book about this guy--the fun was the secret. Ruining the appeal of the Stig for an autobiography on him is grounds enough to never read the book, let alone purchase it. Shame on them.

  • Ho Hum a nicely kept secret all though we kind of knew just ruins the stigma LOL

  • What has been seen CANNOT be unseen...

  • you can understand why he did it he's been in top gear for many year and never recieved personal recognition for his work he's only known as the stig and thats not fair

  • The secret was always the best

  • i from america i thought the stig was michael schmocker

  • @TheMikesylv That was fake. It was just a joke

  • @Lachman0102 it not why would top gear fire him then it not fake i don't want to argue with u but it real ben collins is a idot to reveal himself cus now the white stig is gone R.I.P white stig =(

  • @cenation12ful I was talking about Michael Shumacher lol

  • @Lachman0102 oh sorry i just relised i must of been a bit dozey wen i typed it in lol,and yea the michael schmocker 1 was a fake that why they didn't get rid of the white stig then but now they prob will if they do i luv it if it was pink it would be really funny

  • @cenation12ful lol that would be awesome!

  • @TheMikesylv are you dumb?

  • we knew it was him anyways

  • If he wanted more money, perhaps he should have tried harder to be a real race driver ! ! I guess 10,000.00 pounds per episode wasnt enough for less than 2 min on camera and an hour or so babysitting celebs. I hope you rot in anonimity and no one buys your idiotic book. Who cares about your 'autobiography' anyway? who... wants to read it ? we HAD the Stig's point of view, yours is simply unwanted.

  • @Jackyl82334 hahaha, someone spat their dummy out......he WAS a real racing driver, a very good one in fact......now stop crying into your cornflakes, most people knew he was the Stig anyway, it wasnt really a big secret

  • Stig is so cool, with or without mask!!

  • This isn't cool. I DON'T want to know who the Stig is.

  • @cfrazlit To bad for you

  • The revealing of Ben Collins as The Stig will only give birth to a new Stig when the time comes. No Stig is larger than the show. Top Gear rules!
