MICHAEL JORDAN'S FERRARI 512 TR FOUND

In 1992, during the height of his NBA career, Michael Jordan purchased a sleek black Ferrari 512 TR. This iconic vehicle was famously captured in photographs as Jordan arrived at Game 5 of the 1992 NBA Playoffs, further cementing its place in sports history.​

Jordan sold the Ferrari in 1995 to Chris Gardner, the entrepreneur whose life story inspired the film The Pursuit of Happyness. Gardner personalized the car with the license plate "Not MJ" and drove it around Chicago.​

After being sold at auction in 2010, the Ferrari vanished from public view, becoming a mystery among car enthusiasts and Jordan fans alike.​

Now, after 15 years, the legendary Ferrari has been found. Vintage supercar specialists at CURATED tracked it down to a California owner who had kept it safely stored away. Despite facing personal health challenges and nearby wildfires, both the owner and the car remained unscathed.​

The Ferrari is now set for a comprehensive restoration in Italy, aiming to return it to its former glory.​

This incredible story highlights how iconic moments and memorabilia can resurface, reigniting memories and admiration for legends like Michael Jordan.

JEREMY CLARKSON JUST REVEALED THE STIG'S FINAL IDENTITY AFTER MORE THAN JUST

Sure, you’ve heard that The Stig was actually Perry McCarthy and Ben Collins, but did you know a third driver donned the iconic suit?

After more than two decades, Jeremy Clarkson finally hung up his driving gloves after the final episode of ‘The Grand Tour’ aired on Amazon Prime. When the show’s finale aired last week, Clarkson hosted a viewing party at his British pub, where he shared a few secrets from the show and its predecessor, ‘Top Gear,’ including the identity of tame racing driver The Stig.

The Stig was a fixture of BBC show ‘Top Gear’ while it was presented by Clarkson alongside James May and Richard Hammond, and also featured in later incarnations with hosts like Matt Leblanc and Chris Harris.

Over the years, the tame racing driver was a personality embodied by several racing drivers, with the first two each revealing themselves while the show was still on air. First, Perry McCarthy donned the black helmet in 2002 and 2003 before his cover was blown by a British tabloid and the character was killed off.

From 2003, the white Stig appeared on our screens with touring car racer Ben Collins playing the man behind the mask for seven years. However, Collins elected to burst his own bubble when he wanted to release a book about his career and time at ‘Top Gear,’ so he was soon kicked off the show.

From 2010, another tame racing driver has filled the shoes of The Stig, covering episodes hosted by Clarkson and co as well as new ‘Top Gear’ hosts Harris, Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff. Now, Clarkson has revealed the true identity of the third incarnation of The Stig.

While speaking with a crowd at his British pub, Clarkson said “The original Stig was Perry McCarthy, followed by Ben Collins, followed by Phil Keen. There isn’t a current ‘Top Gear’ so there isn’t a current Stig, but the last one was Phil Keen.”

So, there you have it, from 2010 until the show’s last episode in 2022 The Stig was actually British GT racer Phil Keen.

In case that name isn’t familiar to you, let me give you a run through Keen’s credentials. Keen is regarded as the most successful driver in British GT history, having claimed 24 wins, 16 pole positions and a British GT Championship win in 2009.

The British racer has also taken on the European Le Mans Series, driving in the LMGT3 class in which he has so far picked up two top 10 finishes so far this year.

What this revelation means for Keen’s future in the role remains to be seen. However, as the show’s future was thrown into doubt following a serious crash involving host Flintoff in 2022, he may now be known as the final Stig.
