    At least he won't do the daytime TV show circuit, he doesn't talk.

    I wonder if it's going to be an autobiography of the driver(s) who play the Stig, or a "biography" of the character itself?

    What Morse Code? I haven't watched TG in a while, but all I ever heard was language lessons or books or something being read when The Stig was driving. Find me a youtube with Morse Code in it while he's driving and I'll translate it for you. I used to be a professional radiotelegrapher.

    Looks like there have been far fewer Stigs than we thought.

    But is Ben Collins writing an autobiography or is the Stig writing an autobiography? These are two totally different things.

    There have been a number of them, and the fanbois have translated them already. Google it.

    At least he isn't Michael Schumacher.

    Some say, he has spent the last week thinking of ways to kill Rubens Barichello...

    I'm not saying I'm the Stig... actually, I should shut up. You can read about it in my, er, his book.
