stig blomquist is pretty old now (must be pusing 55+) and when stigs out the car he moves like he's a young'un. he also pretty small, so i think he could possibly be some one from f1. or mr bean?

I heard that The Sun revealed a week or so ago that it was Ben Collins - but can they be trusted?

And I've just searched their archive with no success.

 

Hmm, that might bit of mis-information.

 

When I was on Top Gear last year doing the fasted disabled driver thing, I took Ben Collins around the very wet track in my Supe.

 

He is "around" on set every now and again but I am fairly sure he is not Stig as people said just that on the day - I think he just advises on the track and stuff - but saying that... hmm maybe it's a cunning ruse... I can't remember ever seeing them in the same place at the same time but that's not proof!

 

By the way, he was very impressed with the entry and exit speed to corners that the Supe is capable of not to mention the straightline performance - he hung on to that handle on the left hand pillar a couple of times when things got hairy.
