Most likely. So, time for another experiment with nitrous?
What color do you think his replacement is going to be? I kind of want a red Stig.

Some say that he is a tame racing driver, and he once lost a canoe on a beach in the northeast. All we know is, he's called the Stig.

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

I'd reckon his stint was over at the end of the last season and the nda (whatever it was) was lifted.

On the other hand, it really doesn't matter who the Stig is, its not that interesting (its never going to turn out to be Bill Clinton or Bruce Campbell or Red Rum or Elvis or anyone you have ever heard of). Its the fact that almost no-one knows who he is that makes it interesting. So, they can just get a new Stig, and it'll still have the same mystique.
Always remember, we were Heroes.
Yep, gonna need another Stig now.

Pretty cool, I like the first part of the vid with the Stig going up against Sabine Schmitz at the ring.

I agree, the character is larger than the reality, I think I'm more disgusted by the complete lack of honor and morals for this bloke. Why sign a contract if you're not going to honor it?

What a pillock. It's just not cool. Hopefully the BBC can take him for breach of contract.

(Also, I think it's going to be a Red Stig too. And yeah, the guy's a dunderhead for breach of contract. Does money really matter when you get to be the friggin' Stig?!)
Making money from a book...or...knowing that your the Stig while everyone else doesn't?
...Is there any real contest there? The latter, every time. Shoulda stuck to his contract.

Speaking of the subject of the thread... bollocks. I certainly hope that Top Gear finds a replacement, because I don't see Mr. Collins keeping his current job after fighting his employers in court. Hope the book deal was worth it :/
Well I was wrong again. Top Gear took him to court to suppress his book but lost and Clarkson said in an interview a couple days ago that he's been sacked.
Top Gear better draw up better legal agreements in future.
No, not like that, you pervs!
Man behind the helmet tells the world in his autobiography!
Ok, granted, Daily Mail website, but if this is true......what a pillock!!
He signed a confidentiality contract and wants to tell the world whilst he's still wearing the outfit?
What amuses me most is the publisher bloke saying it's a triumph for freedom of speech......wtf??
New Stig for next series?
