Sabine Schmitz.

She would be a good choice. A great sense of humour for a German!

That is just gay. I would find that to be a complete turn off

Personally, I'm guttered by this whole episode.

I love Top Gear, has to one of the best things to come out of Britain.

Have to agree there, (with the minor exception of my Great Grandfather of course...

).

Must say I can't understand the level of feeling about the 'outing' apart from the whole scum of the earth lawyers lining their pockets further.

I will still enjoy the show and whoever the hell they get to replace the outed stig - do love the idea of Sabine though!!!! That chick rocks

She's always been cool. She's shown a hell of a guys just how slow they are. But there'd be absolutely no way that people wouldn't guess who was under those curvy race suits.

See that's what I don't get...why's it even have to be a secret...it just seems juvenile and gimmicky to me...

....I do sometimes read ahead in books too

ROFL!!!! You BAD BAD person, you!

Gimmicky and juvenile just fits the show, somehow, don't you agree? I reckon Ben's actually gone and shot himself in the foot. Who's gonna love him now..?

yeah I expected a roasting...is that it?

You are right though it kinda fits the show I guess it just feels to me like it's DONE already

As for loving him...what's he look like? See that's part of it too - I kinda knew the name but it didn't mean much to me therefore I don't care.

I do conceed that on this matter I will be considered a grumpy old killjoy perhaps...but I'm really just a purist...I enjoyed the shit hot driving for what it was - shit hot!

Back in black I reckon or perhaps a black race suit with a white helmet.
Be a good opportunity for Michael Schumacher to take up the mantle for real, lets face it the come back in F1 is looking a bit miserable, he'd be faster than that skanky Ben Collins anyway..

I think it's good that he's gone. He obviously wasn't happy, and it had the potential to sabotage the show. For a while they should have guest Stigs, who drive the fast cars then reveal themselves at the end of the show. Then one time, don't reveal.....

That's a brilliant idea!
