Ooooh... I feel all dirty for having typed the 'R' word!
Any views on his revelation to BBC news this morning? A smoke screen surely?!
More details perchance?
?
What revelation? Is he, well, you know, I don't really want to say it in public 'cos it's probably not PC, but, well....you know, is he?
I'll say it for you Daddylonglegs... a RANGERS supporter!
Ooooh... I feel all dirty for having typed the 'R' word!
???
Can't see anything on the BBC News site
What's he allegedly said or done then?

He implied he was the Stig - Yes, really!
100% certain it was very tongue in cheek - anyway we all know who the Stig is don't we???
Real Stig?
According to my missus he sat there bold as brass and went into a bit of detail of how he is in fact the Stig. She's convinced. I'm convinced they are having a laugh given all the recent news stories.
Still liked his appearance on Shooting Stars 
They're really making the most of the Stig thing....
Given that the BBC is having a court case, trying to prevent the publication of a book which says who the Stig is, and has managed so far to have the
case heard in private, I don't think they'd let the Stig come out and just do it...
The whole thing's a bit of a farce in any case, as apparently there's more than one Stig (not including Perry McCarthy, the
"black" Stig), which is presumably the reason they want to keep his identity quiet - it would spoil one of the main bits of the show if
people knew it...
Im assuming the book is a biography not an autobiography, as surely even with good booksales, his job at top gear is worth more than getting a book published.

It's light entertainment, same as the rest of the programme

This sort of brings me to my forthcoming television series, which is based in a place we call the Man Lab.
In reality, it’s an old warehouse in south London, but conceptually it’s a mythical place in the mind where men practise and relearn the arts lost to them.
That means everything, really, from minstrelsy to techniques for welding stainless steel sheet, via duelling, concrete mixing, navigation
and the correct depth of countersink for an 80mm wood screw, but also embracing some basic cooking, boot polishing and hospital corners.

I agree. Actually I'm not ashamed to say that:
1. I like Top Gear (and I watch re-runs on Dave)
2. I'm quite enjoying the current F1 season!

The books being published by someone else, it has nothing to do with the TG team apart from the fact that they're trying to prevent it being published.
Personally I don't care who the Stig is. It's a joke, same as the rest of the program.
OK, I give in, I am an old git
BTW, just listening to Radio 5 Live, and apparently JM is a guest on at 2pm today, must have a little listen.

well, it's all done and dusted now, and the Stig is Ben Collins, whose name has been knocking about as the Stig for about the last 5 years....

Another one off the end of an Aircraft Carrier.
Some say he can't swim either!
or that his contract was coming to an end anyway!
all we know is he's milking it for all its worth.
