Controversial times ahead!
I think ex stig, Ben Collins, is getting of lots of stick for no reason to be honest.
The other two presenters are good drivers - of that I have no doubt! Infact, I have been watching quite a few Plato videos recently and I'm really impressed with some of his races. To me though, its as though the two of them have something to prove against Ben - the review was like a major c-oc-k measuring contest. Do I think he could of shown the 370z in a better light? Almost definitely. At the same time, I think Ben's driving ability is more suited to quick clean racing rather than show boating in a car and for that reason the 'review' on this level became unfair.
I think the other issue is we all have this 'god like' image of the stig, as this is how he was portrayed to us in Top Gear. Lets face it, as much as I love Top Gear, it is rehearsed and filmed time and time again until they get it right. When we see Ben out of these circumstances we can't help but judge him against his performances as the stig.
I also believe there are lots of Clarkson lovers out there (maybe not on this site ) who jumped on the bandwagon to attack Ben when he revealed his identity. To be honest, I can't stand Clarkson and think he is a pompous prick!
Just my 2p - now let the backlash begin.....
