Couple Questions About the Stig

[gogatrs]

1) Why is there a "New Stig?"
2) What happened to the old Stig?
3) Who is the Stig?

Mainly asking these here as opposed to googling these because I am 1: Too Lazy and 2: Because I trust this community more than the rest of the world

Ben Collins is the answer to all three.

He wrote a book and in that book he talked about being the stig. This of course ruins the mystery of the Stig so they had to make a new one to restore the mystery behind the Stig.

1) Why is there a "New Stig?" - Old Stig died
2) What happened to the old Stig? Drove off an aircraft carrier in an XJS
3) Who is the Stig? - Some say.........MS but I'm not sure if anyone really knows.
