it wouldn't be damon hill, i'm sure he's got more important things to do with his time than anonymously cut laps for the top gear boys.

I'd always suspected that the Stig changed from show to show, or that they had a "pool" of Stig's when one wasn't available, and the whole "mystery" thing was just a marketing ploy...

+1 for the pool of stigs, except instead of a marketing ploy I think it's just something to keep the lap times fair (otherwise some may feel the lap times could be done quicker/slower depending on driver and their bias)

Yeah... but Damon hill is mates with Clarkson from what I've heard... I dunno...

I personally don't think there is a pool of Stigs... just because the driving style each time is the same...

Also the body language of the Stig in the car... is consistant...

But thats what I think anyway

Lol @ that. I say it's David Carradine, the original Frankenstein from Death Race 2000 :p You know he was in the new version, he was the Frankenstein in the opening sequence race.

Notice that it is all speculation. It's all quite possible, the 'evidence' seems to point to it. But until it's announced by top gear or by Collins himself, don't take it as fact.

Not everything in the news is truth, as I hope most people know ;)
