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.
-
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 😎🙌
-
Such an honor to have Ben in the chair.
-
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.
-
Now THIS is who we wanna see! Thanks Ed!
-
Boris getting smoked by a blind guy is by far the funniest takeaway from that.
-
Surely Ben is one of the best guests at VinWiki. Hope that he got to record more stories
-
Vettel doing such a Vettel thing...checking tyre pressures. Top Gear was amazing at its peak
-
LoL Jimmy Carr being completely careless is totally on point for him. :D
-
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.
-
He still cannot get over the fact that Rubens Barricello beat his time, because he mentioned that more than once :D
-
Some say he once broke the land speed record on a yatch with no wheels, all we know is he's called The Stig!
-
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.
-
I would LOVE to hear Ben talk about his first Koeniggsegg experience both before and after the wing!
-
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.
-
the stig was my favorite superhero when i was little
-
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.
-
I feel like I could listen to Ben for hours with all these amazing stories.
-
The Schumacher FXX episode was one of my favorites. It was pretty epic.
