In the Episode where the play football with the toyota Aygo's they have Ben Collins as one of the drivers and at the time he was supposedly the Stig...?

I was going to point out VBH when I read this, until I read your next line. Sabine isn't all that special and VBH looks like she's been kicked repreatedly in the mouth :/

This'll be the 4th incarnation of the Stig IIRC.

You still would though!

There are numerous 'non Stig' appearances by Mr Collins.

I think the most notable would be the parachutist stunt with May on presenting duties.

He probably would kick her in the mouth, yes.

going a bit offtopic but i love that squeak that VBH does when she is driving.

Also, I hope they don't replace the stig, was getting tired of it tbh

Final also, Fifth Gear and Top Gear are now totally different shows, one is much more review and useful the other is just a laugh.

Did they really use Tiff Needell?

Just a bit odd considering his ft job, I thought they were joking when they said that!

Is he still on 5th gear? The last one I watched just had Jason Plate and Ben Collins in it.

I'd be giving the job to one of the BTCC drivers, they seem to be on the show occasionally.

With BTCC drivers mentored the Star in a Reasonably priced car Kia would need to open a new factory to keep up with all the breakages.

I think they'll put Tiff in white overalls but with his distinctive helmet and announce the return of the Stig.
