Apparently he has a book to sell, being sued by BBC to stop it and thus ....

A 35-year-old former racing driver from Bristol in England has been named by the British media as possibly being Top Gear star The Stig.
New documents have emerged which appear to identify former Formula Three driver Ben Collins as the masked BBC stunt driver, the Telegraph newspaper reports.
The news comes just days after it was revealed the BBC is taking legal action against the mystery Top Gear star to prevent him from revealing his identity in an autobiography.
Records show earnings rose sharply for Collins' company, Collins Autosports, when the driver took on work to provide "driving services for the BBC, mainly in the Top Gear program" in December 2003.
The timing of the increased revenue coincided with the first appearance of The Stig in a white racing suit, at least one of which Collins is known to own.
Previously The Stig had appeared on the popular motoring show in black.
In the documents, Collins Autosports said the business had a "cornerstone year" and that the BBC work had good long-term prospects.
Collins' name had previously being mentioned by UK media in connection with The Stig but he has so far refused to say whether the TV stunt driver is him.
Last week lawyers acting for The Stig said the BBC's move to prevent him from revealing his identity was a human rights issue.
The driver is reportedly upset that he has not been able to profit from his association with the show as its other stars have.

Britain's High Court has refused to grant a temporary injunction preventing the revelation of the identity of Top Gear's The Stig.
The BBC had taken legal action on Wednesday to block publication by HarperCollins of an autobiography that would unmask the faceless mystery driver.
It argued he is bound by a confidentiality agreement and revealing who he is would spoil viewers' enjoyment of the popular BBC program.
But after more than a day of legal submissions in private before Justice Morgan in London, lawyers for HarperCollins emerged to say the case had concluded in their favour.
Solicitor Robin Shaw said: "The judge has said he is not going to grant an injunction in this case. Reasons are to follow and will be given in a private judgment."
He added there was unlikely to be a further public statement or another court hearing on Wednesday.
A spokeswoman for the BBC said Wednesday's judgment did not prevent it from pursuing the matter to a full trial of the issues.
