Fans of Top Gear might want to prepare themselves for another Stig death soon. When "Black Stig" Perry McCarthy revealed himself, Clarkson, Hammond and May offed him. Now, according to the UK's Telegraph, the "White Stig" has apparently ended the mystery, revealing himself as 33 year-old Ben Collins. Collins has raced professionally in everything from NASCAR to LeMans, and most recently served as Agent 007's double for sequences of Quantum of Solace that required fancy wheel work. It's been such a secret for so long, how did the veil of silence come to be broken? Collins himself apparently revealed his day job to the owner of an art gallery in Bristol, England when asking for help producing a limited-edition print of The Stig plying his trade.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed to find out who he was when I originally read about this a couple weeks ago. He's supposed to be a mystery. :D Which is also why I never posted it. I felt like it would be telling everyone a ***spoiler***. :(

 

I wonder what will happen, now.

Another thing is that The Stig is not one person. Sure there is a "main stig", but they use other Stig's for other things like the Snowmobile jump in the Top Gear Winter Olympics special.
