Top Gear's "The Stig" unmasked - Owns an Audi

Top Gear's resident "tame racing driver" The Stig was officially unmasked late last month, revealing his true identity in an upcoming autobiography as racing driver, Ben Collins. While literally hundreds (if not thousands) of news agencies are covering this story, we found one tidbit of information about Collins to be especially relevant to our readers. Britain's The Daily Mail reported that Collins personally owns a "brand new" Audi A5.

Considering Collins, in his role as The Stig, has driven just about every performance, luxury and supercar the world has to offer; his choice to own an Audi (in addition to a "Mercedes people carrier") certainly says a lot. Although, how could we be surprised.

For those of you not familiar with The Stig's recent identity controversy, here are few articles of interest. (or, just search Google News for "The Stig")
