|  BBC and the great Stig whitewash
There is a book coming out, a biography by Ben Collins that might reveal the identity of the stig? 
Looks like the BBC have taken the publishers to court over this to stop it's release.
I don't know about you but I think all the clues are in our first paragraph as to the identity of the stig!

Does anyone really care ? As far as I'm concerned it makes no difference whatsoever. I wasn't that dissappointed when i found out that Father Christmas wasn't real either. I do apologise to those of you who are devastated and totally shocked by my own revelation there but that's life. 
I don't care if the damn motor won't go, it's when i can't stop that i get concerned ! | |

He was the black stig. He got the push in 2003 so it's probably time for a new one. Pink Stig or something. | |

Well,when TOPGEAR did the BRITCAR 24HR race,there were actually 4 different STIGS taking part.
If sTIG goes pink,then it has to be SABINE SCHMIDT. | |
