    The next Stig should be George Bush Jr. It's the perfect gig for him when you consider just how much he royally screwed America, an opportunity to conceal his identity is perfect. Although the whole concept of the character would have to change from the time it takes The Stig to drive an exotic car around a road course, to the time it takes for The Stig to completely destroy a perfectly good thing and drive the show into massive debt! The Power Board could become The Pauperism Board, taking measurement of how much further The Stig drives Top Gear and the BBC into utter destitution with each show. And to make him that much more of a Heel, The Bush Stig's color could be "Old Man Tan"!

    @eurodriver:


    I think we need a grey stig.


    The question is whether or not the white stig will be killed. Can we go on pretending we don't know who he is?


    He commissioned artwork of himself-- he didn't exactly publish a tell all book like the black stig did.

    He is just a mere instantiation of the Stig. The Form of Stig is eternal, timeless, and unchanging, whatever happens to these particulars.

    Due to budget constraints, the part of the Stig will be played by this week's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car".

    Actually, Ben Collins has to be the most talented non-F1 Champiuo@Gearhead_42:


    So in addition to being the next Doctor Who, Jennifer Saunders will have to be the Stig.

    His punishment for revealing his identity should be having to drive a VW Bug across Russia, with a series of ridiculous challenges along the way.

    Dear Jalop,

    I liked the mystery surrounding the Stig's identity. This was a perfect opportunity to have a teaser headline with a picture of the Stig, so people like me who don't want to know would simply not click on the article title and thus prolong the magic.


    What's next: are you going to tell us that Santa Claus is not real?

    I'm not sure who to be pissed off with, him for telling some fuckwit he was the Stig or the fuckwit gallery owner for spoiling it for the rest of us.


    Either way it pissed me off enough to share so I 'tipped' our editors about it earlier.
