Tom Cruise almost reduced the producer to tears when he popped the star car onto two wheels & it looked like we were about to witness a major catastrophe. But Tom calmly feathered the throttle, landed it Top Gun style and posted his fastest time. A living legend 😎🙌

This man is possibly the most humble man in the world. A straight up ICON. Meets Michael Schumacher and is in awe. Not realizing the WORLD believed for a minute that Michael Schumacher was the Stig. Possibly the greatest compliment for any racer IMO. A true legend right here.

Such an honor to have Ben in the chair.

Now THIS is who we wanna see! Thanks Ed!

People criticised Boris Johnson for loosing to a man without any sight. They need to cut him a bit of slack and remember that Boris did it without the use of a brain.

Vettel doing such a Vettel thing...checking tyre pressures. Top Gear was amazing at its peak

[deadmansfire]

Surely Ben is one of the best guests at VinWiki. Hope that he got to record more stories

[spddracer]

LoL Jimmy Carr being completely careless is totally on point for him. :D

[Ocerry]

Boris getting smoked by a blind guy is by far the funniest takeaway from that.

I read Ben's book a long time ago and what I found amazing was the juxtaposition of him being the Stig on the world's most famous television show one day and the next he'd be hauling a full kit around the welsh counrty side doing his military duties and training. I'll never get tired of his story telling.

Best guest ever, "The Stig" is one of my all-time favorite TV characters. Listening to Ben tell behind the scene stories of his time on Top Gear is awesome.

[billyhess]

I would LOVE to hear Ben talk about his first Koeniggsegg experience both before and after the wing!

[MrReese]

I feel like I could listen to Ben for hours with all these amazing stories.

[MrRootMusic]

He still cannot get over the fact that Rubens Barricello beat his time, because he mentioned that more than once :D

[diysecuritygear]

I wish top gear could be made again. Exactly as it was, personalities and all. It was such a part of my middle years. Greatest thing ever produced.

[gljnjo]

I still remember that "blind lap" it was the most amazing thing they did for somebody

Finally Ben is getting some recognition. I bought his book just when it was released and subsequently when he was fired by the producers. I remember he was being mocked just after by the trio in the next episodes. The funny story is a Polish television hired him as a presenter for a car programme as himself (not as Stig) where he tested a couple of cars. I know it as I am Polish and I was very glad back then that I can still watch him even though he's no longer been a Stig.

Some say he once broke the land speed record on a yatch with no wheels, all we know is he's called The Stig!

[exitban]

the stig was my favorite superhero when i was little

[MK-]

All we know is, he's called THE STIG!
So happy to see Ben on here. Absolute legend, and great story teller! Also a true professional with remembering the lap times, even years later.
