One of the best parts about BBC’s show Top Gear is trying to figure out Who is “The Stig?” Well, It turns out it’s Ben Collins! But who is Ben Collins you ask? And, how was he outed at an art gallery?
For starters, Ben Collins is one of those guys who’s work you’ve seen, but face you haven’t. (ahem, like the stig.) For one, he was Daniel Craig’s stunt double from the recent 007 movie, Quantum of Solace. But are we sure Ben Collins is really the stig?

In 2002, Perry McCarthy revealed he was the black Stig, prompting his firing from the series. It’s believed that Collins could now suffer a similar fate. Read the rest of this entry »

There’s no denying that BBC’s Top Gear has had its fair share of problems. There was that issue when the Stig took the Koenigsegg CCX on an off-track excursion. Then Richard Hammond’s horrible crash in the jet dragster. Well, their latest incident involves the only official Nissan GT-R in Great Britain.

Top Gear host, and all around politically incorrect gent, Jeremy Clarkson is again facing some criticism from road safety activists over some comments Clarkson made in an interview with Daily Mail columist Rosie Boycott. Actually, it’s more than just criticism — it’s an outright call for his firing from his fellow countrymen.
