STIG Revealed!
Found this:
Fans of Top Gear might want to prepare themselves for another Stig death soon. When "Black Stig" Perry McCarthy revealed himself, Clarkson, Hammond and May offed him. Now, according to the UK's Telegraph, the "White Stig" has apparently ended the mystery, revealing himself as 33 year-old Ben Collins. Collins has raced professionally in everything from NASCAR to LeMans, and most recently served as Agent 007's double for sequences of Quantum of Solace that required fancy wheel work. It's been such a secret for so long, how did the veil of silence come to be broken? Collins himself apparently revealed his day job to the owner of an art gallery in Bristol, England when asking for help producing a limited-edition print of The Stig plying his trade.

Jeez. Like he thought anyone would keep this a secret if he said something about it. What a dummy. Now he's likely going to be "fired". Even so....imagine having that on your resume.
I guess we'll find out after the next series debuts in March or so.

Maybe he was tired of this gig and wated to move alog to something else? 
Although it seems like a pretty sweet deal to me...
Oh well, who's next? Maybe Jenson Button could be qualified for the job?

I just got chewed out for propogating an "old" rumor on the Top Gear US forums when I posted basically asking if this was true. SO, it seems this rumor has been around a while...
