The Stig is Ben Collins. We get it. He may not roam the woods at night foraging for wolves, but he is fast, and now, according to a British High Court, the BBC and Top Gear producers have no right to tell the (un)masked hotshoe he can't write an autobiography in which he details his stint as The Stig.

We won't pretend to understand the way the British Courts work, but the BBC has stated that this isn't over yet. The Stig's commercial value is obviously incredibly high and they don't want to give up a huge chunk of the pie. Which is why Collins is writing a book. Strike while the iron is hot, right?

But this begs a bigger question: So far, we've yet to meet anyone who's genuinely relieved to know who The Stig is and Collins is taking a lot of flak for talking. So, when the book comes out, are you going to buy it?

Us? Not sure about Collins, but we think an anonymous The Stig autobiography complete with Stig-isms would be a fantastic addition to our coffee tables.
