Throughout his time on Top Gear, the best car Ben ever drove as the Stig was a Ferrari 458. He has never driven the ultimate 458 however, the Speciale, so we organised for one of those special machines to arrive at DT HQ, and we threw Ben the keys. Is this Ben Collin's Dream Car?

He isn't the Stig, which (in relation to Top Gear) is part of the Top Gear IP. His position was filled by someone else, who was then the Stig. Legally, he probably won't get away with calling himself anything but ex-Stig.

@@JerraPremium Why not use a name that 350 million people know you by. Ben Collins simply doesn't have the same draw as the Stig, or ex-Stig.

Blimey, it's hard to beat a comment like that. I once drove a full rally spec RS200 (450hp but it weighed feck all) around the site roads at Dunton, Ford Product Development. I was underwhelmed at first, but then that big turbo kicked in and it scared the bejesus out of me. I was left thinking 'how the feck could anyone control such a violent vehicle through those Welsh rally stages with trees waiting to kill you if you got it wrong?' The Borham rally boys told me that they had to change the Kevlar body panels after every rally because they were abraded away gravel.

Clarkson may mocked May because he got the 458 Speciale when the 488 Pista is a much better car, but the fact that the Speciale still demands more money than the Pista pretty much says it all.
