6:30 So the Stig really did learn German from all those audio tapes he's been listenin to. 😂
Always a pleasure catching up with Mr Ed :)
I firmly believe that Clarkson's introductions are as instrumental to the Stig's popularity as Ben's driving and acting skills.
Who doesn't love a good story from the OG Stig Mr. Ben Collins.

I love listening to Ben tell stories about his days as the Stig. He seems like such a genuine nice guy.
Remember how special the Veyron was when it was new? Imagine you finished your studies, went to VW and somehow hear about your company planning to BEAT EVERYONE and you end up on the project building THAT. Imagine how it must have felt to achieve everything you set out for? No wonder they loved you for treating it with respect!!

“Some say that his heart ticks like a watch, and that he’s confused by stairs. All we know is he’s called the Stig.” Will forever love this intro to the stig as in a future ep Ben had stood still looking at stars/escalators trying to work out how to manoeuvre them. Keeping the bit going. 🤣🤣

Very cool. I’m loving these behind-the-scenes stories from the Stig. Thanks for having him!
i could listen to Mr. Stig talk for HOURS.
Talk about a serious W for captain slow
Childhood memories. One of the best episodes Thanks Ed for bringing our hero on
I'd say the most famous Bugatti on earth is most likely the one that Houston owns that was on camera taking a swim.
I love the fact he said "he done the real race"
11:10 "you can fiddle with your Lamborghini and get 2000hp" I'd watch you experience that 😂 alllll day..
Anyone else miss Top Gear?😢

Ben, you're an absolute legend!!! Thanks for sharing these stories and brings back amazing memories!
4:38 "added to list: cars ive tried to buy" lmao
When you acquire your Bugatti, Ed, you know just who to turn to for assistance in unlocking it's potential. And it's *not* _Captain Slow_
Good to know the races were actually races and all the fly-by shots were done afterwards.
Probably the only Veyron driven as intended.
Ben is such a great story teller, and had an arsenal of incredible stories. I could listen to him tell these tales all freakin' day. ❤
That’s it, I’m buying a Bugatti. Eventually..
I am proud of Captain Slow!
Love and respect Ben so much….. thanks Ben for hours of great content throughout the years.
Great stories! End of an era stuff😊
I drove an AWD Twin Turbo Porsche with some mods done to it. It was pushing approx 600awhp and that was fast af on the streets and on an empty straightaway I had it up to 190-200mph in 5th gear, and it was so stable. I can't imagine this monster
I love listening to Ben Collins. More Stig! His stories are great.
We all came to know the silent Stig. Who knew he'd become Ben the Storyteller. I'd bet he has more stories than most.
I love these videos so much. Thank you Ed.
Great story about the Veyron. Love hearing the details behind one of my favorite episodes from TG.
Captain slow is actually fast 😂
Ben tells great stories!
Awesome as always
You can definitely see the Thrust SSC inspiration in the body shape
Great story!!!! Amazing
All thanks to Peugeot because of which this car exists. IYKYK.
Amazing
I want a Veyron now
Beat by Captain Slow!
I miss old Top Gear. Those 3 guys were great and it was a time before the days of this stupidity with the electric car push. Such a better time.
if your nickname was "Captain Slow" you'd want to brag about beating the Stig who's a legit race car driver
Surprising the McLaren F1 sounds like it loses downforce after 150mph?

Strong argument
He is right about that. I have a car with 1000HP and its just a Dodge. Numbers have gone bonkers, beyond comprehension. Id love to drive a Bugatti one day, but the days of ever full sending en EB110 may be coming to a close. There getting old and too valuable to risk driving.
I think this is not the most famous bugatti ... I think more people think of the bugatti that drove into the water he did try to fool the insurance
Well maybe you don't know about andrew tate's Bugatti chiron pur sport...

Some say that he appears on high-value stamps in Sweden, and that he can catch fish with his tongue. If I were James, I'd hold that fact over Ben's head for all time
And because of a rigged phone vote, he has a new name...all we know, is he's called Cuddles
Rad
What color is your Bugatti?
I know that this is like controversial but I think that Andrew Tates Pur Sport is more popular now

@@Shahzad-Khan I don’t think you get the ethos of this channel. Sure the people who appear may have stories of gas guzzling vehicles. However you have to remember those stories aren’t just about the cars, take for example; John Ficarro, he likes to talk about the strategies (cheats) people used in different races, designs of vehicles, and some right knowledgable or even qwerky things. Like what it is like to work with make up companies for adverts even if they expect the colour of the vehicle to change within a heartbeat. “This can be red.” You had lady Pam, who told a couple stories about CannonBall, being in the ambulance that hardly worked but when it did they came up with a story as they were pulled over by police about some royal being in the back and they couldn’t use helicopter. With these stories you aren’t getting a few more Bugatti sales, Ferrari, or even Tesla. Without memorizing these stories, they sadly die with the person. If you ask me, that’s actually really sad. I’ve only scratched the surface, but you really don’t have a clue do you.
