Yeah, you wanna make the show exciting, put that nutty Canadian behind the wheel. Leno and Allen would round that out nicely, good call.

Since they'll always have something insanely fast and unruly to zip around their track, I'm certain that the Stig will continue on in another person of equal anonymity. I'm surprised Collins would reveal himself, which would undoubtedly mean his end on the show. Half the fun of Stig is not knowing who he is. :mrgreen:

I just sought it out now that we have expanded cable. I wasn't expecting to LMAO but I did! I watched 4 episodes straight through. Great stuff And the theme music is the Allman Brothers' Jessica, as much as they like to jab at American cars and stuff.

You're only saying that because you're the Stig's Canukistanian cousin. :lol:

You almost got it right Halgar, we spell it Canuck, but then again we have a habit of using an extra letter here and there versus American English ;) You're excused......this time :twisted:

Got to love the BBC for shafting him even though he won the case, book sales were all going to be to find out who he was, so when they lost, they released his name (accidentally) guess it will be in the bargain bin soon then :D

Viewers reactions to the shock news in the UK
There was shock across the world today after a High Court ruling finally allowed popular Top Gear racing driver The Stig to reveal his identity.

‘I was frankly shocked,’ said one Top Gear fan outside the court room. ‘I had no idea it was… sorry, what’s his name?’

Other fans of the BBC motoring show were equally aghast at the news. ‘I couldn’t believe it!’ wrote one contributor to a Top Gear discussion forum. ‘To think all this time it was a bloke whose name I’ve only just been told but now can’t remember!’

However, some Top Gear viewers were less easily confused. ‘I knew all along it was Lewis Collins,’ said one ardent Top Gear enthusiast. ‘He was quite good at driving in The Professionals and his drumming with Genesis was great. No, wait, who were we talking about again? Bootsy Collins?’

Meanwhile, other fans were less certain. ‘It’s Pauline Collins out of Shirley Valentine?’ wrote one confused fan on a BBC message board. ‘God, that race suit really covered up how small and Liverpudlian she is. And that she’s almost 70 years old. Fair play to her.’

Despite the confusion, the thoughts of all Top Gear viewers seemed to be summed up by one anonymous contributor to a news discussion group. ‘The revelation about this Joan Collins person is amazing,’ they wrote. ‘I look forward to being able to buy a book all about someone I have never heard of and in whom I have literally no interest whatsoever.’
