“Former stig”! Mr Collins will always be The Stig.

The amphibious vehicle challenge was funny, but nothing will beat Clarkson driving a tower block Citroën in the sketchiest of conditions with May wheezing with laughter behind him

[BeauMonday]

Everything with Ben Collins in it is captivating

[TheJVanders]

As a 30 year top gear fan, Ben is the best part of the show 🙌 👏 and the inside information the stig has is priceless!!!

[LouParadise]

Dear Managing Director.

Please allow more videos like this please, visiting old top gear locations and hearing the old secrets is what the people need!

Yours Sincerely

The Global Public

As a 32 year old man, “casually” watching a childhood icon of mine on a TV with a Stig tribute helmet next to it is mind blowing. I love how Ben is reminiscing and there is a glint in his eye when he speaks of his experiences during the show. Almost as if he is reliving them again. Wonderful video idea. Thank you Ben for living up to my childhood dreams.

It's actually very emotional the bit at the track, knowing how special top gear was back then, knowing we will never see anything like it again

[AJS]

I'd love to see the cliffs where Clarkson's Citroën grand designs went off. That always had me in stitches.

"What's that?"

Wonder if the crater is still there from the reliant Robin space shuttles impact.

[MrJeff]

I really love this video… I tend to forget how much life has gone by since our beloved trio helmed Top Gear. The significance of Top Gear to global car culture and the joy brought to countless viewers cannot be overstated. Seeing the relics abandoned in a rotting production trailer truly hurts my heart. I miss the excitement of seeing the guys return each season.

Sending love to my automotive heroes from Missouri!

[ericjaeger]

I love how Mike keeps trying to cultivate that buddy relationship with Ben but Ben's resisting it so hard. lol

[SchuckTales]

This was the best video you guys have ever done. I have been tracking Top Gear locations for years, with the hope that one day I’d be able to come there to drive around and visit some of them in person. It’s really cool to see how things have changed over the years, and that some of these memorable locations are still recognizable.

[snbala]

Great to see the locations, particularly the test track, all I have to say is sod the houses, that track has to stay. All those locations shout out the trios presence, and It’s a shame that the Clarkson, Hammond and May era of Top gear is no more but we have the re runs and DVDs to remember the iconic episodes.

[Solent_Ben]

Would be incredible to do this with the other three!

[tomhodder]

the most mind blowing part about this video was the shopping centre with actual open shops in it!

[craigthomson]

Please do this again!! I could watch this all day and I can’t wait to see the behind the scenes on the second channel

[manicr]

I have loved the show from day 1 over 20 years ago. I still watch reruns every single day. I’ve purchased Ben’s writings and have used him as inspiration for many things in my life. Ben may not have been the only “Stig” but for me, there is no other. He is one of the worlds greatest drivers. He drives the wheels off everything he sits in and that is talent!
If by chance he ever sees these comments, I just have to say THANK YOU Ben. You are a legit hero of mine.

[TinKnight]

During the visit to Dunsfold, the view of everyone that had been there & driven was awesome...seriously, that needs to be preserved in a museum, because it's such a key representation of how important automobiles have been to all walks of society, in addition to all of the stories that each of them individually represent!

[johnnyr]

As a huge TopGear fan, (the episodes play on repeat in my shop for the last 20 years) This video was amazing. The inside scoop of the stig is just brilliant. More Top Gear Locations please director! Two days not enough!

[hexgraphica]

Did you realize that the early Top Gear test with convertible cars (Copen, Beetle, CLK, A4, Pluriel) was filmed in Hammond's favourite place? The one he talks about in the video where he tells what he felt during coma after his dragster crash

[HenryBrooke]

My family went on holiday to Cornwall a couple of years ago, and my brother and I visited the Southwinds Campsite where they stayed during the motorhome challenge.
