Top Gear took revenge on Perry/Black Stig by shooting him off an aircraft carrier to the character's 'death'

In this thread, declare what you think TG will do in the new series with regards to revenge on Stig and replacing Stig so that when it happens you can refer back and genuinely says TOLD YOU SO (or more likely, read back and see how wrong you were)

My guess for the kick off:

Revenge: White Stig is unmasked and exposed as someone who is notoriously not good at driving, perhaps Jimmy Carr or that awful Mo woman off that driving school program.

Replaced by: Green Stig, some kind of piss take towards green vehicles and environmentals

Your better ideas please?

This close to Christmas? White Stig 'aint going nowhere. There's too many White Stig shower gels/RC cars/Xmas cards etc winging their way to retailers to get a new Stig in.

My best guess is that the "some say..." preamble for the entire series will be dispariging remarks about drivers from Bristol, and that if a new Stig is introduced it won't be until the new year.

On the subject of merchandise, the long awaited Gran Turismo 5 is coming out in Nov and one of the big features is the TG test track and White Stig! Imagine if the game that took 5 years to develop is out of date before it is released!! Of course that isn't the BBC's problem as such but along with the previous comment about merchandise, perhaps the Stig image is too iconic to be dropped just like that.

They will delay GT5 for another 6 months to get Green Stig in. wink

I'm pretty sure white stig will be back- when we saw it being filmed they also filmed a lap time of the 599GTO but didnt have time to show it. They could re-film the piece, but with all that merchandise tied up as well, white stig will remain.

I think it will be some kind of Dr Who-esque regeneration.

White Stig will be filmed dying in some comedy car crash manner - then a new Stig will emerge from the ruins or something... only he'll still be white. Clarkson will therefore allude to it being an all new Stig, albeit in the same colours.

Ergo marketing can remain, and we can all carry on speculating on who the 'new white Stig' is and the man under the mask is now different.

The ubiquity of The Stig shall continue.

I'm sure I read it on here but they need to do Stig Factor.

10 different Stigs in different coloured suits and they do a series of driving challenges. After each challenge the slowest is 'evicted' until we are left with the new stig.

perhaps they will do a piece on sports models of otherwise spuddy cars, let him do a lap in a marina TC and then drop a piano on it.

it will be stig - the grey next smile

Stigette. (Or Pastel Pink Stig)
The idea of some female talent on the show has been bandied around before, but JC is never gonna share screen time with a woman, so a Stig with fun bumps is the way forward.

Ben Collins is already working for LBS Clampers in Sarfend, evidenced by the recent watchdod Watchdog (even) programme. He's been eating a few too many pies and got a tattoo or two but he definitely identified himself as Ben Collins.

I go for Mr Blobby Stig, pink with yellow spots. << this is a comedy entry into the competition.
