    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    Did he die?

    You can't be serious?

    I'll give you a hint: you can read all about Stig mk1's exploits in Perry McCarthey's new book "Flat Out, Flat Broke: Formula 1 The Hard Way"

    Written by a man who isn't dead.

    Stig mk2 is Ben Collins according to rumour, which is believeable after he cropped up "unmasked" as the parachutist's "racing driver friend Ben" in the one where they were parachuting a man into a car at 50mph.
    Thanks for all the fish

    I just watched that episode recently and that was puzzling me somewhat too. So why did they get rid of the first stig?

    Come on M-P !!!

    Do you really think a TV show woudl put a professional driver at risk ?
    Do you really think a driver is THAT stupid ?
    THEN do you REALLY think they woudl show it ??
    Oh, wait, America, the home of cable channels

    NO, Perry McCarthy did NOT catapult off the end of an aircraft carrier.
    He is alive and well and still racing Writes an occasioanl funny view of racing on crash.net -

    Its a "secret" so that they can use someone else when McCarthy wants to go and do the 24hr Citroen 2CV race instead of TG.

    People know because it isn't a very well kept "secret".

    As CS said, the 'Stig' is a Le Mans driver (is he still doin that?) so he cant do the show a lot.
