After the acrimony that accompanied Ben Collins and his autobiography whwre he outed himself as Top Gear’s “The Stig”, this one is right out of left field and you’ll probably read all about it here first.
The new series of “Fifth Gear” aired in Britain just a few hours ago with a new presenter. Yes, folks, you guessed it, Ben Collins. He wears a black driving suit again but, unlike his Top Gear appearances, he doesn’t wear a helmet. He also talks on camera and discusses his time in the rival show. He drives a dragster, taking 3 attempts to try and break 8 seconds in the 1/4 mile. He also says that he spent far too much time of his life “dressed as a storm trooper”.
If you get the chance to watch it when it comes out, don’t miss it.
